General Questions

What causes genetic hair loss?

Androgenetic alopecia is caused by a combination of genetics and hormones called androgens. It affects both sexes, though men often notice it earlier.

Is the consultation complimentary?

Yes. Consultations are complimentary and typically take 30 to 45 minutes.

Is there an age restriction?

There is no single age restriction. Hair Loss Experts has helped patients from 17 to 77, and recommendations are made after consultation.

When will I see results?

Most clients see visible signs of hair growth after the first three months, with thicker and fuller hair typically taking up to 12 months.

Hair Transplant Surgery

How soon can I wash my hair after a transplant?

New grafts should not be touched by heat or water for at least five days after the procedure to protect regrowth.

When can I colour my hair?

Hair should not be coloured, permed, or chemically straightened until at least four weeks after the transplant procedure.

Is FUT permanent?

FUT uses permanent donor hair from the back and sides of the scalp, creating a natural-looking, long-term restoration.

Non-Surgical Restoration

What is LLLT?

Low level laser therapy uses therapeutic light to stimulate follicle activity, support scalp health, and encourage healthier hair growth.

How does hair loss progress?

DHT can disrupt the normal hair growth cycle, shortening the growth stage and causing follicles to miniaturize over time.

Beards & Facial Hair

Can facial hair restoration fill patchy areas?

Yes. Facial hair transplant procedures can fill patchy spots, thicken existing facial hair, or build a new beard, moustache, or sideburn area.

How many grafts are usually needed?

Needs vary by patient, but the source site notes typical ranges such as 300 for sideburns, 500 for a moustache, 700 for a beard, and 800 for a goatee.
