Frequently asked questions
Why is hair transplant not available on the NHS in Stockton-on-Tees?
The NHS classifies cosmetic hair loss treatment as non-essential and does not provide funding. Only hair loss resulting from medical conditions, burns or trauma may qualify for NHS support under specific circumstances.
What is the recovery time after a hair transplant?
Most patients can return to light activities within 7 to 10 days. Full recovery typically takes 3 to 4 months, during which transplanted hair sheds before regrowing. Stockton-on-Tees patients usually notice visible growth after 3 to 4 months.
Are hair transplants permanent?
Yes, transplanted hair is permanent because it comes from genetically resistant areas of the scalp. Results continue to improve over 12 to 18 months as transplanted follicles establish and mature.
How many grafts do I need?
The number of grafts varies based on hair loss extent, desired density and individual hair characteristics. A consultation with the surgical team determines the appropriate graft count, typically ranging from 1,000 to 4,000 grafts per procedure.
What aftercare is required following treatment abroad?
Clinics provide detailed aftercare instructions including gentle hair washing, activity restrictions and medication schedules. Most international clinics offer remote follow-up consultations with Stockton-on-Tees patients to monitor healing and answer questions during recovery.
