On the day of the treatment, the focus will be entirely on you and we will do everything we can to make the big day go as smoothly as possible. As well as the treatment itself, we can also address any other concerns you may have. If you need to arrange transport or stay overnight, we can take care of that. We are happy to go the extra mile to make sure the treatment day is as pleasant as possible for you.

Extracting the grafts

treatment day HST extraction grafts

Preparation before treatment

Before we begin the treatment process, we will take photos for the patient file. Then, the donor area is isolated with tape and shaved. The best results are obtained by shaving the entire head, but for aesthetic reasons, this is rarely done in women unless it is expressly requested.

 

Extracting the grafts

After the donor area is shaved, a superficial anaesthetic is applied, so you won’t feel a thing during the procedure. Once the anaesthetic has taken effect, the technician will start extracting the grafts. Clients can ask for a break whenever they need it. Once the grafts are extracted, clients are treated to lunch by Hair Science Institute.

 

Implanting the grafts in the treatment area

Superficial anaesthetic
After the lunch break, new photos are taken and a disinfecting cream is applied to the donor area. The doctor once again discusses and confirms the desired receptor area with the client before marking the area and applying the anaesthetic.

 

Watching the process
Once the anaesthetic has taken effect, the doctor starts making the holes. We find it important to consult clients on these holes and give them the opportunity to watch the process in the mirror. After the holes are made, the entire scalp is washed. The grafts are implanted by either two technicians or a doctor and a technician. Two people work together to implant the grafts, unless time constraints or the receptor area itself do not allow for this.

Evaluation and consultation

Once all grafts are in place, new photos will be taken for the client file. You will then be given instructions for after-care. This includes information about which medication to use and about washing your hair. Neither the treatment nor the medication affect the ability to drive, which means the client can drive home after the procedure. We will e-mail you all the photographs if you wish.

Your skin will recover within a few days after the procedure. We will also give you some tips and advice to ensure optimal recovery and final result. If you are in any doubt about the progress of your recovery or are suffering from side effects, you can contact the specialists at Hair Science Institute.

We are here if you need us.

The results of an HST are permanent. The transplanted hair follicles continue to produce hair for the rest of your life. It is the most effective treatment for making hair denser and giving it more volume. The grafts extracted are ultra-small to ensure a high-density and natural-looking implant. The results are not immediately visible but take some time to develop.
