Frequently asked questions

Your questions

Am I a Candidate for a Hair Transplant?

The best way to determine if you're a candidate for hair restoration is to schedule a consultation with an expert at Eternal Hair and Esthetics.

The most common type of hair loss that can be treated with hair restoration is androgenic alopecia. This condition is most common in men and is often referred to as “male pattern baldness,” however women may also experience androgenic alopecia, and it's easily treatable for everyone.

During your consultation, the experienced professionals at Eternal Hair and Esthetics will conduct a thorough dermatological examination of your scalp as well as diagnostic tests to assess the quality and density of potential donor hair sites.

  • Gradual thinning on top of the head
  • Circular or patchy bald spots
  • Sudden loosening of hair
What is a DFI Hair Transplant?

Direct follicle implant (DFI) is a hair restoration technique in which individual hair follicles are extracted from a donor area of the head and implanted one at a time into the area that has been affected by hair loss. The back of the head, which typically has the healthiest follicles that are genetically resistant to hair loss, is the most common donor area.

The team of specialists at Eternal Hair and Esthetics have undergone rigorous training in internationally accredited DFI hair restoration protocols. The team uses an advanced tool that was designed for exclusive use by Eternal Hair and Esthetics to extract and implant each individual follicle.

Why are DFI and FUE superior to techniques used by other clinics?

The most common hair transplant technique is follicular unit transplant (FUT or FUT-strip). This technique involves removing strips of skin during the implantation process and in some cases also during the extraction process and often results in scarring. In contrast, the DFI and FUE techniques do not require any removal of skin and do NOT result in scarring and the precision of the implant tools allow your medical expert to have maximum control for the most natural-looking results available in the hair restoration industry.

What Should I Expect During a Hair Transplant Procedure?

If you're a candidate for hair transplantation, you'll be given instructions so you'll know how to prepare for your procedure.

On the day of your treatment, you'll recline in a special chair designed for hair transplant procedures, and your specialist will carefully extract the right amount of healthy follicles from the donor area.

When the extraction is complete, you'll take a break, and then your specialist will begin the process of implanting the donor follicles into the recipient area. They'll finish by placing gauze around your implants, and provide you with instructions about how to care for your implants at home.

When will I see results?

After transplantation, your new hair will gradually grow out in 8-12 months. You might notice that some transplanted hair falls out somewhere between 2-6 weeks after your procedure; this is normal and doesn't indicate that your transplant wasn't successful.

Optimal results are usually seen between 12-18 months following your transplantation.

The high success rate for hair transplants is based on three factors…
  • Extraction: Your donor hair follicles are extracted individually, according to strict DFI guidelines. The exclusive tool allows for a maximum amount of healthy follicles to be retrieved.
  • Conservation: Your donor hair follicles are kept at an optimal temperature in a hypo-thermosol solution for a short amount of time so they won't break down before implantation.
  • Implantation: The exclusive tool allows your specialist to control the direction, depth, and angle of every single implant. Because the tool has a diameter of less than 1mm, no incisions are required to receive the transplant follicle.
Is DFI a Painless Technique?

The procedure is practically painless and causes less irritation than a tattoo. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia so that the patient can relax, listen to music, watch TV, enjoy a light lunch and even nap during the procedure.

Is the Procedure Performed With Local or General Anesthesia?

Each DFI session is performed under local anesthesia. Anesthesia is first injected into the donor area before the follicle extraction and then, once again before the implantation phase.

Will There Be Any Scar in the Donor Area After the Session?

There will be no scar or mark after a DFI technique, only a slight reddening in the donor area, which will be completely relieved within a week.

Will the Implanted Hair Fall Out?

The implanted hair will not fall off because it is resistant to the DHT hormone that causes hair loss. It will remain on your scalp for life. These particular hair follicles that are located in the back of your head known as the donor area, do not have the genetic markers from androgenetic alopecia, and this is why these follicles are the most viable.

How Long Does It Take to Heal in the Donor Area?

The average healing period is 3 to 5 days. After 3 days, the extracted holes will start healing almost immediately after the procedure.

What Precautions Should Be Taken Pre- and Post-Procedure?

A week before the procedure, the client has to stop consuming vitamins, aspirin, alcohol and tobacco. Patients suffering from diabetes, hypertension, heart problems, or if they take psychiatric medications, should consult with their physician as well as the Eternal Hair expert medical staff prior to the procedure.

After the procedure, any heavy exercise, such as weightlifting or swimming, must be avoided. Only after 12 days following the procedure should the patient resume light exercises such as light jogging or walking. Avoid exposing the scalp to direct sunlight for 30 days after the procedure but avoid wearing hats or anything that directly covers the scalp for at least 72 hours following the procedure.

How much does DFI & FUE Hair Transplant cost?
