Who we help
Who is most suitable?
The ideal candidates for hair transplant surgery at our clinic are typically those experiencing hair loss at Type 3 or higher on the Norwood Scale. Stability in your hair loss pattern is crucial.
Generally, if your hair loss has been consistent for about five years, you may be an excellent candidate for our modern implanter pen FUE technique.
Before proceeding, it's important to set realistic expectations and discuss them thoroughly during your consultation with our experienced surgeon.
What can affect suitability?
• Hair characteristics: characteristics like hair colour, texture, and type significantly influence the outcome of a hair transplant.
• Hair and scalp colour contrast: lower contrast between hair and scalp colour often leads to more discreet hair restoration. High contrast can make balding more noticeable, but with FUE technique, we can still achieve natural-looking results.
• Hair density: A good density of hair follicles, especially in the donor areas (sides and back of the scalp), is essential for a successful transplant. The FUE method allows for precise grafting from these areas.
• Hair texture: curly or wavy hair can often yield more visually satisfying results with fewer grafts. This is particularly relevant for Afro-Caribbean hair, which, despite having lower follicular unit density, offers excellent coverage due to its texture.
• Hair thickness: thicker hair strands can provide a better cosmetic effect as they more effectively block light from reflecting off the scalp.
• Scalp Flexibility: the technique we use is less dependent on scalp laxity compared to traditional methods, but it’s still a consideration in the overall evaluation.

Every individual is unique and these factors must be considered collectively to assess your suitability for a hair transplant. You might have favourable hair density, but other factors like hair texture or scalp flexibility could influence the outcome.
