A hair transplant moves healthy follicles from the donor area at the back and sides of the head to thinning or bald areas. At Dermolife in Tirana it is performed with the FUE or DHI technique under local anaesthesia, and the stay is usually about 3 days. The price depends mainly on the number of grafts and is set after a free assessment, which can be done remotely with photos.

Hair Transplant

Hair is half of beauty. Weakness and hair loss cause psychological stress precisely because of their effect on appearance. Hair is considered an essential part of identity for both women, for whom it often represents femininity and attractiveness, and men who usually associate hair with being young and energetic. So, hair loss is a delicate issue for both sexes. For those who suffer from it, it can be associated with loss of control and isolation. These individuals may feel they look older and less attractive to others. These symptoms are more severe at the onset of hair loss. Each person has an average of 100,000-150,000 hair strands, with an average of 100 strands falling out every day and just as many new strands emerging daily. Hair loss begins when this balance is disrupted. Hair transplantation is a technique that removes hair from one part of the body (insensitive to hair loss phenomena) called the "donor area" to the part suffering from "baldness." In men, follicles resistant to the influence of male hormones (dihydrotestosterone) are transplanted to the bald scalp. Once transplanted, the hair no longer falls out, as it continues to maintain resistance to hormone effects. Hair grows in groups of 1-4 strands in each follicle, also called "follicular units." Less than 20% of follicles have a single strand. Modern techniques allow for the removal and transplantation of hair in their natural clusters, giving a natural appearance to transplanted hair. The donor area is the region on the back and sides of the scalp used to "donate" hair for the transplant procedure. Using the FUE Sapphire technique, follicles in the donor area are individually extracted. The follicles are positioned at a certain angle with the skin surface facing up, and removal should also be performed at this angle. It is recommended to undergo hair transplantation after the age of 24-25 when hair loss has stabilized.

After Hair Transplant Surgery

As with any aesthetic procedure, it is essential to carefully follow the doctor’s instructions. During the first few days, swelling or redness may appear, while the transplanted hair will begin to shed between the second and fifth week. This phase is completely normal: it allows the new follicles to properly settle and prepares the scalp for permanent hair regrowth. After three to four months, the first new hairs will start to appear and will continue to thicken progressively until the twelfth month. During this period, it is recommended to avoid very tight hairstyles, aggressive chemical treatments, and prolonged sun exposure without protection.

Hair transplantation takes place on an outpatient basis and recovery is immediate. The DERMOLIFE® staff performs this procedure with local sedation anesthesia, ensuring immediate recovery of the person after the procedure. Local anesthesia is performed with some minor injections in the area of the surgical procedure to relieve pain. While sedation consists of intravenous injection of drugs that reduce anxiety and induce a state of light sleep or a slightly deeper one.

In any case, the DERMOLIFE® staff aims to provide the person with a smooth and painless surgical experience. The procedure is performed following a precise protocol that ensures maximum quality and safety. Hair transplantation takes place on an outpatient basis and recovery is immediate. Hair transplantation can be performed in two ways:
FUE: Follicular Unit Extraction
DHI: Direct Hair Implant
1. With the FUE technique, hairs are extracted individually from the donor area. This leaves the patient with no visible scars, as no incisions are made. A distinctive feature of the FUE technique is the creation of channels into which the grafts are implanted after extraction. These channels help determine the angle, direction, and density of hair growth after the procedure. 2. The DHI transplant technique is similar to the FUE technique, but differs only in the implantation method. After follicle extraction, they can be implanted directly without the need for preliminary canals. This technique is preferred by patients because shaving is optional, the procedure is shorter, and recovery is quicker.

DERMOLIFE® surgeons will assist you until complete recovery. In the first days after hair transplantation, it is recommended to sleep in such a way that you do not rely on the treated area, usually the ribs. It is recommended not to wash your hair for at least 3 days after the procedure. If not washing, do not rub the transplanted hair for at least 10 days. Even the towel should be in the form of a pad. You should use the shampoo recommended by your doctor. It is important to take prescribed medications as instructed by the surgeon. It is recommended to leave the transplanted area uncovered as much as possible in order to speed up recovery. If you want to cover the area of transplanted hair, it is advisable to wear a loosely fitted cotton hat, avoiding prolonged use. Physical activity is not recommended for at least one month after hair transplant surgery. Saunas and Turkish baths should be avoided for at least ten days, as well as sun exposure. The results will be more visible 3 months after surgery. Consultations for DERMOLIFE® aesthetic surgery procedures and screening visits will always be free.
