8+1 Myths About Hair Transplantation – Discover the Truth!

Hair transplantation today is a modern, reliable, and aesthetically excellent solution for hair loss – yet many myths still circulate in public opinion. These often prevent interested individuals from seeking professional help. Based on the experiences of HIMG Clinic, we present the most common misconceptions – and the truth!

Myth 1 about hair transplantation: Hair transplants are only for older men.

Reality: Hair loss can start as early as your twenties, so hair transplantation is not age-dependent. At HIMG Clinic, every procedure is preceded by a personalized consultation, making successful treatments possible for both younger and older men – and even for women – in the fight against baldness.

Myth 2: Transplanted hair falls out.

Reality: Transplanted hairs come from the back of the head, where they are genetically resistant to balding. The award-winning SHE (Single Hair Extraction) method used at HIMG Clinic ensures that these hairs anchor securely and generally last for the rest of the patient's life.

Myth 3: Hair transplantation is painful.

Reality: The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, and patients typically experience only minimal discomfort. At HIMG, special attention is given to patient comfort – many watch movies or listen to music during the procedure.

Myth 4: Artificial hair strands are implanted.

Reality: Only the patient’s own hair is used in the transplant. The team at HIMG Clinic, with over 15 years of experience, performs the procedure in two parts: first, hairs are precisely extracted from the donor area (sides and back of the head), and then implanted into the target area.

Myth 5: The results are immediately visible.

Reality: After the procedure, transplanted hairs fall out within a few weeks – this is completely natural. Real hair growth starts after 3–4 months, and the final results appear within 6–12 months. HIMG Clinic also offers personal follow-up examinations.

Myth 6: Everyone is eligible for a hair transplant.

Reality: Not all types of hair loss can be treated with a transplant. During a consultation, HIMG Clinic specialists assess whether you are a suitable candidate and will inform you of any alternative options if applicable.

Myth 7: Transplanted hair requires special care.

Reality: Transplanted hair is resistant to hair loss and, once the scalp has healed, does not require special maintenance. It can be styled, cut, and dyed. HIMG Clinic also offers a post-procedure shampoo package to support long-term hair density and quality.

Myth 8: Hair transplantation leaves scars.

Reality: The modern SHE method uses fine needles for implantation, without any cutting or stitching. As a result, only pinhead-sized marks remain on the scalp, which disappear completely in a short time.

+1 Myth: It’s obvious that the hair transplant is “fake.”

Reality: A well-executed hair transplant provides a natural hairline and density. At HIMG, doctors design the hairline based on the patient's face shape and individual hair type, resulting in a completely natural look – even up close.
