Hair Transplant

The sapphire technique offers several advantages. The use of sapphire blades allows for more precise and even channels, which can result in a more natural appearance of the transplanted hair. In addition, the sapphire technique minimises the risk of scarring and infection and allows for faster healing.

A hair transplant is the transplantation of body hair. Hair transplants are performed for treating hair loss in both men and women.

While hair loss affects both men and women, it can be particularly challenging for women. According to Harvard Health Publishing, every third woman experiences hair loss (alopecia) at some time in her life. Two-thirds of women suffer from thinning hair or bald areas.

Before seeking treatment for hair loss, a visit to the dermatologist is advised to identify its underlying cause. While possible causes for hair loss in women include iron deficiencies or thyroid disorders, the most common type of hair loss is androgenetic alopecia which stems from a genetic predisposition.

Usually, female pattern hair loss affects other areas of the scalp than male pattern baldness. For women, hair loss usually results in an all-over hair thinning and is most visible at the top of the head. Meanwhile, hair loss in men often starts at the hairline, usually at the sides of the head.

Hair loss treatment medications such as Minoxidil have proved to help in restoring the hair. However, results are temporary and can lead to side effects such as skin irritations or redness.

An autologous blood treatment is a more long-term approach. The treatment shows positive results by stimulating hair growth and improving hair health.

This allows you to no longer be restrained to hairstyles that conceal thin-haired areas, express yourself freely and wear your healthy hair in whatever way suits you and complements your features and personality.

The hair bundle includes a hair transplant performed by HAIR & SKIN in combination with at least four autologous blood treatments to provide an additional nutrient boost to the hair roots.

In addition, there is a 10-year guarantee, which includes free follow-up treatment if the warranty condition is met.

Theoretically, there is no age limit for hair transplants. For example, hair transplants for children who lost parts of their hair due to accidents or burns, are a medical necessity and therefore considered reconstructive treatments.

Practically, hair transplants are not recommended for people under the age of 25, because in most cases the hair loss is not completed yet. If transplanted too early, the grafted areas are resistant to progressive loss, but the natural hair would continue to be lost. This would leave lonely islands of hair on the bald head if the hair loss continues.

It is therefore recommended that a hair transplant is only executed when the hair loss has stopped or is in a late stage. The anamnesis and the examination results are therefore decisive so that the transplantation is executed at the right time in life.

If a patient decides to have a hair transplant at a young age, contrary to the recommendation, it is possible that more interventions need to be carried out in the future.

A hair transplant surgery can be performed on any person over 25 with hair from a good donor area, a healthy scalp and good general health. If you are unsure about getting a hair transplant, we are happy to evaluate your treatment options in a free consultation.

Yes, thanks to our partner company it is possible that you can afford the autologous blood treatment or the transplant even with a small wallet. If you prefer to pay for the treatment in installments, it is possible from CHF 150.–/month. You can discuss with our partner company MF Group in which installments you would like to make the payment.

We also offer the hair transplant without shaving the head. However, there are only a few cases in which we consider doing so. This is currently only possible for clients with long hair and only if the hair transplant is for the receding hairline. In this case, the head is not completely shaved, as in the case with the normal hair transplant, but only the donor area and about 2 cm of the recipient area towards the middle of the head, in order to insert the hair without a transition.

However, it is recommended to always do the procedure with a shaving if there is a desire for a good and lasting result. Therefore, it should always be weighed up with our specialists on a case-by-case basis whether a hair transplant without shaving is worthwhile.

The result of the Saphir FUE technique is permanent as the follicles from the donor area are resistant to the hair loss hormone DHT. When buying a hair bundle (hair transplantation including at least four autologous blood treatments) at HAIR & SKIN, you receive a 10-year guarantee on the transplanted hair.

Because the transplanted hairs are optimally supplied with own blood treatment. Own blood treatment improves the growth rate and thus the success of the transplant!
