Hair Transplant Katowice

A patient who decides to undergo a hair transplant procedure in Silesia undergoes qualification by a dermatologist, trichologist and surgeon who will perform the hair transplant.

First, a trichoscopic examination should be performed to confirm the type of baldness. Often, alopecia areata can be difficult to diagnose at first glance or can be mistaken for androgenetic alopecia. In the case of alopecia areata, the patient is not eligible for hair transplantation.

The degree of baldness and the condition of the scalp for possible inflammation should also be assessed. Another important step is the assessment of hair density in the donor area (usually the back of the head), from which hair follicles (grafts) are taken for transplantation.

After qualifying the patient, they are presented with a special protocol for preparing for the procedure, where all the recommendations are described in points. They concern dietary guidelines, treatment of the scalp in the donor and recipient areas before the procedure, taking specific medications… etc.

The patient in the clinic has a relaxation room at their disposal, i.e. a zone of isolation and comfort, where they can rest, eat, spend time with loved ones who accompany them during the procedure. Hair transplantation in Katowice is performed under local anesthesia, the patient feels comfortable, sits or lies on a comfortable treatment chair and has a large TV with a movie platform available in front of them. Some patients fall asleep during a large part of the procedure.
