Hair transplant Nuremberg

The hair consultation at Hair Doctors is also individual and unique. You and your questions come first. That is why we hold not one but two hair consultations – a four-eyes principle that benefits you. This enables us to offer you the best possible solution, based on your individual wishes and your current hair situation. Open and honest advice – that is close to our hearts.

We therefore do not shy away from addressing uncomfortable truths. For us, honesty and openness are the cornerstones of every consultation. We clarify whether a hair transplant can be carried out for you, based on how your hair has developed and how your parents’ and other family members’ hair has developed.

For the best possible result of your hair transplant in Nuremberg, it is important that you stop smoking or using nicotine 10 days before your treatment date. In addition, please stop taking anticoagulant medication or blood thinners. These also include medicines such as aspirin, paracetamol or ibuprofen. Then, 48 hours before your hair transplant, please also stop drinking caffeine, tea or alcohol.

If you notice any unusual changes to your scalp before your hair transplant, such as reddened skin, flaking or extremely itchy skin, please contact us or a dermatologist immediately. We can then help quickly and directly, give any necessary instructions in good time and so respond effectively to these changes before your hair transplant.

On the day of the hair transplant itself, it is very important that you have a good, sufficient breakfast in the morning. Under no circumstances should you come to us on an empty stomach. It will be a long day, and your body needs to be supplied with enough energy. Please wear comfortable clothes – a tracksuit, for example, is ideal. A top with a neckline that is as wide and flat as possible is also recommended and helps to make the hair transplant as comfortable as possible. Your hair adviser will always be happy to give you further advice, tips and tricks.

After checking in at our hair clinic, you have the important preliminary consultation with your treating specialist. This often takes 30–45 minutes. All the important details of your surgery are discussed once more, the final hairline design is drawn on and the treatment plan you have developed together is finalised. We then take you to the treatment room and begin by administering the local anaesthetic in the donor area. This makes the removal of your hair particularly low in pain and straightforward.

As soon as the local anaesthetic takes effect, we remove the required grafts by strip harvesting (FUT method) or individually (FUEplus or FUE method). Once the grafts have been extracted, you have a good half hour to relax and have a light lunch. Meanwhile, we prepare the harvested hair follicles for the actual transplant into the recipient area: we refine them, preserve them and pre-sort the hairs. This is done under modern stereo microscopes with LED lighting. The grafts are kept cooled throughout, to make the transplant gentle and to keep the graft survival rate high. Using a particularly fine needle or a tiny scalpel, we then create the channels in the skin in the natural direction of hair growth, into which the prepared grafts are finally implanted.

With the exclusive Hair Doctors FUEplus method, we also carry out an autologous blood therapy at this stage. This strengthens the new hair follicles from the outset, supplies them with important nutrients and stimulates rapid hair growth. True quality work for a lasting result.

After the hair transplant, you will receive detailed information about what you need to bear in mind in the first few days after the treatment. We will also show you how to carry out further care and hair washing. If you wish, we can also carry out a medical hair wash on the day after the hair transplant.

A hair transplant can normally be carried out as an outpatient procedure. If you would prefer a short inpatient stay at the clinic, this is also possible – just ask us. Before you leave our hair clinic, we will give you a soft head bandana and a prescription for the medication you need to take in the first few days. And please do not forget: after the hair transplant you are not allowed to drive or otherwise take part in road traffic. Please be sure to arrange for someone to collect you in advance.

A hair transplant is a longer process: many months pass between the treatment and the final result. So patience is needed. It is therefore not unusual for many questions or uncertainties to arise after the hair transplant. That is exactly when you are always welcome to contact our team and your personal hair adviser. Please do not expect a result that can be assessed until after about ten to twelve months. In the meantime, we are always happy to invite you to a free follow-up appointment at Hair Doctors in Nuremberg. We will then explain how things are developing and give you valuable advice on how best to deal with your rapidly changing hair situation.
