How long does a FUE hair transplant take?

A FUE hair transplant procedure typically takes between 8 to 12 hours depending on the number of grafts. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, and patients can return home the same day.

What is the recovery time after a hair transplant?

Most patients return to work within 7 to 10 days. Initial healing occurs within the first two weeks, and transplanted hair begins growing naturally within 3 to 4 months, with full results visible at 12 to 18 months.

Are hair transplant results permanent?

Yes, FUE hair transplant results are permanent. The transplanted follicles are taken from areas genetically resistant to hair loss, so they continue to grow naturally for a lifetime.

How much does a hair transplant cost at Crown Hair Institute?

The cost varies based on the number of grafts needed and the specific technique used. We offer complimentary discovery calls where Dr. Truesdale provides a personalized treatment plan with transparent pricing. Financing options are available.

Does Crown Hair Institute specialize in Afro-textured hair transplants?

Yes, Dr. Truesdale has extensive expertise in hair transplants for Afro-textured and curly hair types. His specialized techniques account for the unique curl pattern and follicle angle, delivering natural-looking results for all hair textures.

How much does a hair transplant cost?

Hair transplant costs at Crown Hair Institute range from $4,000 to $15,000 depending on the number of grafts needed, the technique used (FUE, FUT, or DHI), and the extent of hair loss. We offer free discovery calls to provide an exact quote based on your specific situation. Flexible financing through Cherry is available.

Am I a good candidate for a hair transplant?

Good candidates are typically adults with stable hair loss, sufficient donor hair density at the back and sides of the scalp, and realistic expectations. The best way to determine candidacy is a free discovery call where our surgeons assess your Norwood scale classification, donor density, and overall health.

What is the difference between FUE and FUT hair transplants?

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) removes individual follicles one by one leaving no linear scar, with faster recovery (7-10 days). FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) removes a strip of scalp allowing more grafts in a single session but leaves a thin linear scar. Our surgeons will recommend the best technique based on your hair loss pattern and goals.

How long does hair transplant recovery take?

Most patients return to desk work within 3-5 days. Redness and scabbing resolve within 10-14 days. Transplanted hair sheds at 2-4 weeks (completely normal). New growth begins at 3-4 months. Full results are visible at 12-18 months.

How many grafts will I need?

Graft requirements depend on your Norwood stage: Stage 2-3 typically needs 800-1,500 grafts, Stage 4 needs 1,500-2,500, Stage 5-6 needs 2,500-3,500, and Stage 7 may need 3,500-4,500+ grafts. A free discovery call includes a precise graft count estimate.

Is a hair transplant permanent?

Yes. Transplanted hair follicles are taken from the permanent zone at the back and sides of the scalp and are genetically resistant to the hormone DHT that causes hair loss. Once transplanted, these follicles continue to grow for life.

What is the success rate of hair transplants?

At Crown Hair Institute, our graft survival rate is 95-98%. Success depends on surgeon skill, graft handling technique, and patient aftercare compliance. We provide detailed aftercare instructions and include follow-up appointments in every procedure package.

At what age can I get a hair transplant?

We recommend patients be at least 25 years old, as hair loss patterns need to stabilize before transplantation. Younger patients may be candidates in certain cases but risk needing additional procedures as hair loss progresses. A consultation will assess whether timing is right for you.

How do I choose the right hair transplant clinic?

Look for expert surgeons (ABHRS or equivalent), a portfolio of before/after results, transparent pricing, no high-pressure sales, and verifiable patient reviews on platforms like Google, RealSelf, or Trustpilot. Avoid clinics that offer unusually low prices or cannot show real patient results.

Will my hair transplant results look natural?

Yes, when performed by experienced surgeons. Natural results come from correct graft angle (15-30 degrees), proper hairline design matching your facial structure, and appropriate density distribution. Our surgeons design each hairline individually — we will show you the design before proceeding.
