In 3 steps & 3 days (back) to full hair
Hair loss doesn't just affect men - many women also suffer from it. Whether it's thinning hair or visible hair loss, neither should be considered “normal”. If you notice that your hair is falling out, it is important to take this seriously and seek a medical diagnosis.
In many cases, hair loss for women is temporary. Causes such as pregnancy, medication, stress, or illness may lead to hair loss, which often regulates itself as soon as the cause is resolved.
However, if hair loss persists, a hair transplant is the most effective solution. A hair transplant is suitable for filling in bald patches, thickening hair, or reducing a high forehead.

The Micro-FUE/Sapphire-technique is a modern, precise hair transplantation method that is primarily used for women. With this technique, the hair follicles are removed individually from the donor region and transplanted into the recipient area.
As women generally have thinner hair than men, the finest instruments are used, which have a diameter of 0.6 to 0.75 mm.
For example, if female patients suffer from a high forehead or want to increase hair density,
then it is not necessary to shave the entire head*.
Only the donor area – usually a small area between the ears – is minimally shaved, which makes the treatment discreet and aesthetic.
The shaved donor area can simply be hidden behind the long hair.
The Sapphire-method is an innovative and extremely promising hair transplant technique.
Individual hair follicles are harvested from the donor area (usually the back of the head) using the FUE-method.
The individual channels are then opened in the recipient area and the previously extracted hair follicles are implanted.
This method is particularly suitable for larger transplantation areas.
The donor area (back of the head) is shaved and then locally anaesthetized. This ensures pain-free extraction of the hair follicles. The hair follicles are extracted from the donor area using fine micro-instruments. These micro instruments minimize the stress on the area, reduce the risk of scarring, and promote faster healing.
The harvested hair follicles are placed in a special nutrient solution so they remain healthy and vital until they are transplanted into the recipient area.
Tiny channels with the desired direction of growth are opened in the recipient area.
The hair follicles are then precisely inserted to create a natural and aesthetic result. The small channels close by themselves within a few hours, and the healing process begins. *As a rule of thumb, no shaving of the head is necessary for up to 2000 grafts!
The right aftercare for the time after the hair transplant is crucial for the success of the procedure. To minimize the risk of an infection or hair loss and to achieve a naturally beautiful result – special attention must be paid to the aftercare.
After the hair transplant, the implanted follicles are still very sensitive and require special care in order to develop strongly.
In the initial period, any physical exertion, direct sunlight, mechanical irritation, smoking, and alcohol should be avoided, to ensure an ideal healing process.
The experts at IST-HAAR will provide you with detailed care instructions and aftercare instructions to ensure that your scalp heals perfectly. If you have any questions or concerns, we are always at your disposal – even (at least) 12 months after the procedure!
You should avoid exhausting physical activity in the first few days after the procedure. Heavy sweating or increased blood pressure can have a negative effect on the transplanted hair follicles.
Any form of smoking (cigarettes, vape, shisha, etc.) should be avoided for 10 days after the hair transplant. Smoking can cause circulatory disorders, delay wound healing, and risk of damaging the transplanted hair (less oxygen and nutrients)
Avoid direct sunlight as the treated areas are still sensitive during the healing phase.
Should be avoided for 8 weeks until the scalp is fully healed.
The consumption of alcohol should be avoided for at least seven days after the hair transplant.
The healing of the scalp goes through different phases after the hair transplant.
Below you will find a step-by-step explanation of the recovery process:
Hair transplantation is considered to be a very safe procedure with minimal risks, provided that it is carried out professionally with the proper aftercare.
However, risks can never be ruled out completely to 100%.
A hair transplant cannot be performed if the patient is suffering certain illnesses, or if there is not enough donor hair available.
Kindly contact IST-HAAR for more detailed information and to get to know whether a hair transplant is suitable for you to receive a satisfying result.
A hair transplant can usually be performed from the age of 18 years.
The specialists from IST-HAAR will be happy to advise you on whether a hair transplant makes sense in your case.
Trust IST-HAAR to find the best solution for your hair situation.
Yes, women with thin hair can also be considered for a hair transplant.
Whether the procedure makes sense, depends on the individual’s hair situation.
The experienced specialists at IST-HAAR will gladly inform you in detail about your options.
After the hair transplantation, a lot of patients encounter a “shock loss” of the newly transplanted hair.
This is totally normal and part of the recovery. The transplanted hair might fall out, but the root stays healthy and starts growing the new grafts after 2-3 months.
A very good result is visible after 6 months, and the final results will be reached after 12 months.
Yes, the basic procedure is the same for all patients.
The difference between the patients is just the implantation method (Sapphire or DHI).
However, with the DHI-method, the canal is opened, and the grafts are inserted in one step, which makes the process slightly different.
IST-HAAR guarantees you a structured and customized procedure for optimal results.
There is a planned break, after approximately 3 hours, in which you will receive a little meal, and our experts can relax for a bit. Other than that, there are no planned breaks.
If you wish to take a spontaneous break during the procedure, you can always ask for it.
This depends on the performed method and the number of grafts, which will be transplanted.
The extraction of the grafts from your donor are, requires your donor area to be shaved to a certain degree.
The DHI-method does not require a complete shaving of the head. This method is preferred especially by women, because they can easily cover the shaved donor site with their long hair.
The Sapphire-method (usually) requires the complete shaving, if it’s planned to transplant more than 2.000 grafts.
Kindly contact us, the expert of IST-HAAR will gladly assist you with further details.
No, the transplanted hair comes from a genetically stable area (back of the head).
The donor area is not sensitive to testosterone receptors and therefore they will not fall out.
