Hair & Scalp

Hair transplants and hair-loss treatment by a doctor with more than 1,000 cases

From scalp examination to find the cause of hair loss, through medication and follicle-stimulating treatments, to hair transplants using FUE, DHI and PureCells™. Dr. Kate assesses every case personally and tells you honestly which approach suits you, or whether you should not have a transplant yet.

Browse by concern

High hairline, wide forehead or M-shaped recession

Usually hereditary hair loss. Once the follicles in that area are gone, medication cannot help; FUE or DHI transplantation is needed to design a new hairline

Thinning crown with a visible circle of scalp

If hair is still present but finer, you can start with medication and PureCells™. If the area is clearly bald, a FUE transplant combined with medication to protect existing hair is recommended

Diffuse thinning across the scalp or a widening parting (common in women)

Blood tests to find the cause come first, such as iron, thyroid and hormones, followed by treatment with medication, hair mesotherapy, PRP-LED or PureCells™

Sudden hair loss, patchy loss or an inflamed scalp

See a dermatologist first. This may be hair loss after illness or childbirth, an autoimmune condition or a fungal infection, which must be treated at the cause rather than with a transplant

Sparse eyebrows, sideburns, moustache or beard

Transplanted with FUE using a small number of grafts (usually under 1,000), with particular attention to a natural hair direction

Scalp scars, or an unsatisfactory transplant elsewhere

The scar thickness and remaining graft supply are assessed first. A repeat transplant should wait until the previous result has matured, about 1 year

What happens at your consultation

Medical historyHow long you have been losing hair, family history, medical conditions, medication, stress, weight loss and what you hope to achieve
Scalp examination under magnification (trichoscopy)Density, hair shaft diameter, the proportion of miniaturised hairs and scalp condition are checked to identify the type of hair loss
Blood tests when neededSuch as ferritin, thyroid, sex hormones and vitamin D, particularly in women and in people with diffuse hair loss
Planning togetherDr. Kate explains whether to start with medication, treatments or a transplant, the number of grafts needed, realistic expected results, costs and limitations
Procedure and follow-upA hair transplant takes one day; treatments are scheduled as a course. Follow-up at 3, 6 and 12 months
Free doctor consultation before you decide

Hair loss has many causes, and the supply of donor grafts at the back of the head is finite. An assessment by a doctor first means you do not spend money on an approach that does not address your problem, and your grafts are not used wastefully

Frequently Asked Questions

Which kinds of hair loss suit a transplant, and which do not yet?

A transplant suits areas where follicles have already been lost through hereditary hair loss or scarring. Hair loss caused by stress, childbirth, iron deficiency, thyroid disorders or scalp inflammation should be treated at the cause first, because the hair usually regrows on its own.

Do I need to keep taking medication after a transplant?

Hair transplanted from the back of the head is usually resistant to hereditary loss, but the existing hair around it can continue to thin. Most doctors therefore recommend medication or treatments to protect the existing hair alongside the transplant, depending on the individual assessment.

Can women have hair transplants?

Yes, particularly for a high hairline or wide forehead. Diffuse thinning in women, however, usually responds better to medication, hair mesotherapy or PureCells™. The doctor examines the scalp and blood results before recommending an approach.
