Hair Transplantation with Dr. Ahmed Alkhateeb

Most patients can return to office-based work within 2 to 5 days, depending on the nature of their job.
Patients traveling from outside the country can usually fly back the day after the procedure, provided they follow the post-operative care instructions and remote follow-up recommendations.
New hair growth typically begins after 3 to 4 months. Results become more noticeable after 6 months, while the final outcome is generally achieved within 12 months.
Yes. The transplanted follicles are taken from the donor area, which is genetically resistant to hair loss, and they continue to grow naturally.
The required number of grafts is determined after reviewing your photos or conducting an in-person consultation. It varies from person to person based on the degree of hair loss and the density of the donor area.
Can the hairline and crown be transplanted in the same session?
In many cases, yes. This depends on the size of the treatment area and the number of available grafts.
The first wash is usually performed at the clinic or the method is explained to the patient. Hair washing typically begins on the ninth or tenth day after the procedure.
