If you’ve watched television in the last couple of years, you may have noticed something missing. No cynics, it isn’t that good shows – like those on when you were younger – no longer exist. It isn’t that old favourites like Top of The Pops and Neighbours went the way of the dodo, and it isn’t even actually watching terrestrial television instead of streaming. No, what’s missing from television is baldness. Where once at least a few pundits on sports or news shows would be rocking an impressive dome, now a bald head has all but disappeared from our television screens. And why is that? It isn’t that bald people aren’t getting on-screen jobs anymore. It’s because almost every man on television has had a hair transplant. Hair transplants are everywhere. They are as standard an aesthetic procedure as getting a facial. So, with so many hair transplants on our TV screens and in our day-to-day lives, you probably have questions about enhancing your look. Our experts have heard every question imaginable, and they have compiled answers to some of the most common below.
How much does Beacon Hair Restoration charge for a hair transplant?
While the average hair transplant cost in Dublin can range from roughly €2,400 to €10,000, sometimes more, pinning down an exact figure without a consultation is difficult. This is because several factors influence the final price.
The extent of your hair loss is a primary driver. More extensive hair loss requires more grafts, which naturally increases the cost. We utilise advanced electronic Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) techniques, ensuring precision and optimal results.
Secondly, our commitment to providing a high standard of care, combined with the expertise of our surgical team, contributes to the overall investment. While you might see package prices reaching approximately €12,500 for our largest procedures, it's crucial to remember that this represents a significant investment in your long-term confidence and appearance.
Instead of offering generic pricing, we prioritise personalised consultations. This allows us to assess your hair loss pattern, discuss your desired outcomes, and develop a tailored treatment plan that aligns with your budget. During your consultation, we'll provide a detailed breakdown of the costs, ensuring transparency and clarity.
A hair transplant is an investment in yourself. That's why we focus on delivering exceptional results and a positive patient experience at Beacon Hair Restoration, ensuring that your investment is worthwhile. We invite you to schedule a consultation to explore your options and receive a personalised cost estimate.
How Long Does A Hair Transplant Last?
The good news is that hair transplants are generally considered a permanent solution. This is because the transplanted follicles are typically taken from the back of your head, an area genetically resistant to baldness. While these transplanted hairs are designed to last a lifetime, it's essential to understand that they don't prevent future hair loss in other areas. Factors like the surgeon's skill, proper post-transplant care, and the potential need for medications like finasteride or minoxidil to preserve existing hair can all influence the overall long-term appearance. Expect some shedding in the initial weeks after the procedure, followed by new growth within a few months. Full results typically become visible within 12 to 18 months. So, with a skilled surgeon and proper care, a hair transplant can provide lasting, natural-looking results, boosting your confidence for years.
How long after a hair transplant can I wear a hat?
The timeline for wearing a hat after a hair transplant is crucial for ensuring proper healing and graft survival. Generally, it's recommended to avoid wearing any tight-fitting hats for at least the first 10 days to two weeks following the procedure. This allows the newly transplanted grafts to settle and the incisions to heal without undue pressure or friction. After this initial period, you can typically wear a loose-fitting hat, such as a bucket hat or a baseball cap adjusted to be very loose. However, listening to your surgeon's specific instructions is essential, as individual healing processes vary. They may advise waiting longer, especially if there's any lingering swelling or redness. Avoid wearing hats that could rub against the transplanted area or cause sweating, as this can increase the risk of infection or dislodge the grafts. Prioritising proper healing during this period is essential for maximising the success and longevity of your hair transplant.
What happens to the donor area after a hair transplant?
After a hair transplant, the donor area, typically the back of the scalp, changes crucial to the overall success of the procedure. Whether using FUE, which leaves tiny circular scars, or FUT, resulting in a linear scar, the area will initially appear red and swollen, with small scabs forming at the extraction sites. These scabs typically heal and fall off within a couple of weeks. While FUE scars are usually undetectable once hair regrows, FUT scars can be concealed with longer hair. It's important to note that extracted follicles don't regrow, leading to a slightly reduced hair density, though a skilled surgeon will minimise this impact. Temporary numbness, itching, or discomfort may occur during healing. Following proper post-operative care and choosing an experienced surgeon is vital for minimising scarring and ensuring the donor area's appearance remains natural while understanding that the donor area has limitations on the number of harvestable follicles.
