Regis contacted us as he was visiting Budapest, and he stopped by our clinic to have an assessment and consultation on the 9th of January 2017.

The free assessments are carried out by one of our surgeons. The 20-30 minute long appointment provides opportunity for the patient to discuss his expectations and concerns with a specialist, and for the doctor to detail the procedure step by step. 

After thoroughly examining the hair and scalp the surgeon establishes a treatment plan fitting the patient’s unique needs.

The expertise of our team and our excellent facilities promptly convinced Regis – he accepted the recommended treatment plan straight away and booked a date for his surgery for March.

Regis had his surgery on the 22nd of March 2017, when he received 4000 hairs with the FUE2 SafeSystem technique to correct the hairline and to increase the density in the frontal zone.

After the surgery some redness and swelling are natural, but it is important to leave the head uncovered.

It is not allowed to touch or wash the scalp for a week – as a result on the 1st check-up photos some scabs are still visible:

The initial signs of the surgery disappear gradually; it usually takes 7-10 days, but the sensitivity of the scalp affects how long this process takes.

The implanted hairs fall out between the 4th and the 12th post-op weeks, for the replacement restarts their natural life cycle.

At the 3rd check-up, 3 months after the surgery the density of the recipient area is almost the same as before the procedure:

Around 4 months after the procedure, the new hairs start to grow out and the density improves gradually.

Six months after the surgery typically 50-60% of the hairs are visible – even with this amount a significant difference is achieved compared to the pre-op condition:

The new hairs continue to grow out until 12-18 months after the surgery; with the proper aftercare, the FUE2 SafeSystem method offers a whopping success rate of 90-95%.

At the final check-up, 1 year after the surgery, we saw Regis smiling, with a dense and natural hairline:

FAQ

Can a hair transplant be done in one day?

Most FUE hair transplants, especially smaller to medium-sized sessions, can be completed in one day. Procedures typically last between 4 to 8 hours, depending on the number of grafts and the technique used (FUE or FUT).

Can you do 5000 grafts in one session?

While some clinics claim to perform 5000 grafts in one session, this is generally advised against due to the high risk of overharvesting the donor area. Extracting that many grafts at once can lead to permanent thinning, scarring, or patchy results at the back and sides of the scalp. For safety and long-term planning, most reputable surgeons prefer to divide such large procedures into multiple sessions.

How many hairs can be transplanted in a day?

In one day, up to 3000-4000 grafts (roughly 6,000–8,000 hairs) can be transplanted, depending on the clinic, surgeon, and technique used. However, most clinics aim for 2,000–3,000 grafts in a standard session to ensure quality and minimise fatigue.
