Does Luxmed perform hair transplants?
No. Luxmed does not perform transplants. What the clinic offers is an assessment appointment with the doctor, who can examine your recovery, scalp and the hair you already had, and propose treatments for native hair when they make sense. For any question about the surgery itself, the technique, the grafts or surgical complications, the first contact should be the team that operated on you, and the doctor helps you work out what to ask them.
Is it normal for transplanted hairs to fall out?
Yes, it is described as a usual phase. A few weeks after surgery, the transplanted hairs tend to fall out, while the follicle stays in place, preparing to produce a new hair in the following months. It can be alarming because it seems the operation has not worked, but it is not a sign of that. If the shedding is accompanied by pain, pus, spreading redness or sores, it should be seen without delay, both by the team that operated and by the doctor.
Why does the hair I already had also fall out?
In some cases, the original hair near the treated area falls out or becomes thinner for a while, an effect described as temporary. It may also happen that native hair continues to thin over time, because the transplant does not treat the cause of the loss. Telling one from the other requires examining the scalp and following its progress, and that is what the doctor does at the assessment appointment.
When do results start to show?
Transplanted hair grows in stages and takes many months to show the result, at different paces from person to person. In the first months, the appearance may even look the same as or worse than before. It is therefore advisable to take comparable photos and attend the scheduled check-ups, rather than drawing conclusions every month. The team that operated knows best what to expect from its technique and from your case.
What if a long time has passed and almost no hair is growing?
There may be several reasons, and not all are a problem: slower paces, growth stages still under way or the effect on the surrounding hair. There may also be causes to investigate, such as deficiencies, thyroid changes or medication. The doctor examines the scalp, asks about the surgery and, if useful, requests tests. If the question is about the result of the operation, the team that operated should review the case with you.
What treatments can the clinic suggest?
Depending on the case, and only once the skin has healed and the team that operated sees no objection: hair NCTF, hair PRP and hair exosomes, which act on the scalp and the follicle. None repairs a hair that has already grown and none guarantees more transplanted hair. The evidence for several of these treatments is limited, and the doctor explains what is known before any decision.
Does PRP improve the result of the transplant?
The role of PRP alongside a transplant is still debated in the literature, and the evidence is limited. It may help to stimulate the follicle in some cases, but it does not replace aftercare or guarantee a better result. If you have already had PRP at the clinic that operated on you, tell the doctor. If you have not, speak first to the team that operated, and the doctor will assess whether it makes sense in your case, without hurry and without promises.
When can I have scalp treatments?
There is no single date that suits everyone. In the first weeks, with the skin healing and the grafts fragile, the priority is to follow the instructions of the team that operated, and injections or microneedling in the recipient area may be out of the question. Later, the doctor assesses the scalp and, if the team that operated agrees, decides whether there are suitable treatments for the native hair. Always ask before doing anything.
Do I need to keep treating the hair that was not operated on?
It usually makes sense to keep monitoring. A transplant moves follicles but does not treat the cause of hair loss, and the original hair may continue to thin over the years. When changes in native hair are seen in good time, it is possible to decide with the doctor on a long-term plan, which may include medical treatments. The options depend on each person's pattern and are always discussed at the appointment.
What are the warning signs after a hair transplant?
Increasing pain, warmth, spreading redness, pus, fever, wounds that do not heal, marked swelling that does not go down, or sudden, heavy loss of the hair you already had. These signs should be seen without delay, and the first call should be to the team that operated. If you cannot reach them or would like a second opinion, book an assessment appointment with the doctor.
What questions should I ask the team that operated on me?
Ask for the report, the number of grafts, the technique used, the written instructions (washing, sleep, exercise, sun), the check-up dates and whom to contact if something goes wrong. Also ask which stages are normal, which signs call for immediate contact, and when other treatments may be done. Bringing these documents to the appointment helps the doctor understand your case and follow the hair you already had.
What should I bring to the first appointment?
The surgery report or documents, photographs from before and during recovery, prescriptions, and the list of medicines and supplements you take. If you have recent blood tests, bring them. Tell us the date of the operation, where it was done and what you were told. No treatment is needed before the doctor assesses you, and you should not wash or change the care the team instructed you to follow in order to attend the appointment.
Can I book an appointment if I had the transplant abroad?
Yes. Many people have their transplant abroad and are left without close follow-up on their return. The doctor can examine the recovery and your native hair, provided you bring the documents you have, but she does not replace the team that operated and is not responsible for the decisions or results of the surgery. If there are warning signs, do not wait for the appointment and seek assessment without delay.
