Frequently Asked Questions
How does hair transplantation work?
Hair transplantation moves permanent follicles from the safe donor zone—typically the back and sides of the scalp—to thinning areas on the top or crown. Two surgical methods are used:
- FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction): Individual follicles are harvested using micro-punch technology, leaving no linear scar.
- FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation): A narrow strip of tissue is taken from the donor zone, allowing access to a large number of follicles.
Both methods can achieve natural, lasting results. During your consultation, our physicians will determine which technique is best based on your donor capacity, hair characteristics, and goals.
Will my results look natural? Will people know I had a transplant?
Yes—when performed by an experienced, aesthetic-driven physician, results look completely natural. Our team designs hairlines and density patterns that match natural growth direction, age-appropriate contours, and your unique facial structure. Most patients say friends simply notice they “look younger,” but cannot tell why.
What is the success rate of hair transplantation? How many grafts will it take?
At Sacramento Hair Doctor, graft survival rates are typically 90–95%+ thanks to physician-led extraction, careful graft handling, and precise implantation. Actual success depends on donor quality, scalp health, post-procedure care, and adherence to maintenance therapy.
Will the results last?
Yes. Transplanted hairs come from the permanent donor zone, making them naturally resistant to DHT—the hormone associated with genetic hair loss. Once implanted, these follicles grow for years. Maintenance therapy may be recommended to protect your existing non-transplanted hair.
When will my new hair start to grow?
Most patients begin to see new growth within 3–4 months, with visible thickening by 6–9 months. Final results typically appear between 12 and 18 months as the hair matures and blends.
Where is the procedure performed?
All procedures are performed onsite at our accredited medical facility on Lead Hill Blvd in Roseville. Our surgical suites are designed for privacy, comfort, and physician-led care.
How much recovery or downtime can I expect?
Most patients return to normal, non-strenuous activities within 1–3 days following FUE, or within 4–7 days after FUT. Full healing occurs over the following weeks, with detailed aftercare instructions provided.
How painful is the procedure?
Procedures are comfortable under local anesthesia. Patients typically describe the experience as pressure or mild tightness rather than pain. Post-procedure soreness is minimal and controlled with medication as needed.
How do I know how many hair grafts I need?
During your consultation, your physician evaluates your hair density, pattern, donor supply, and long-term goals. Most patients require 1,500–3,500 grafts, but cases vary widely depending on age, severity of loss, and desired density.
How affordable is the procedure?
Pricing depends on graft count, technique (FUE vs. FUT), and treatment complexity. You will receive a personalized quote after your evaluation. Flexible financing options are available.
Individual results may vary.
