Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, our goal is completely natural, undetectable results.
We carefully design your hairline based on your facial structure, age, and hair characteristics.

Most people won’t be able to tell you had a transplant, they’ll just notice you look younger.

Yes. The transplanted hair is taken from areas genetically resistant to hair loss, making it a long-term and permanent solution.

Hair growth is gradual:
● 1–3 months: temporary shedding (normal).
● 4–6 months: new hair starts growing.
● 8–12 months:
● 12+ months: final results 100% optimal outcomes.
Patience is key, but the results are worth it.

Yes, it is normal for the transplanted hair to go through a shedding phase during the first few weeks after the procedure.
During this stage, the implanted hairs may fall out. This is part of the natural hair
cycle and does not mean the procedure has failed.
Around the third month, new hair growth begins from the transplanted follicles,
gradually becoming stronger and denser over time.
This process is completely expected and is a normal part of achieving the final
results.

Not really. The hair transplant procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so
you won’t feel pain during the procedure.
You may experience mild discomfort during the application of the anesthesia,
but this is brief and well-tolerated.
Most patients describe the overall experience as comfortable, with only minimal
discomfort afterward.

Depending on the number of grafts, the procedure typically takes between 8 to 10
hours and is completed in a single day.
It’s a one day procedure that can create lasting changes you’ll appreciate for a
lifetime.

At Ileanovo, we combine the best of both techniques to optimize your results.
We use FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) to carefully harvest individual hair follicles
from the donor area, preserving their quality and minimizing visible scarring.
Then, we use DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) for the implantation phase, allowing
for precise control of angle, direction, and depth — which is essential for achieving
natural density and a refined hairline.
At Ileanovo, we don’t rely on a single technique.
We combine FUE for extraction and DHI for implantation to deliver a more
advanced, customized procedure.
This approach allows our medical team to maintain graft integrity while achieving
precise placement, resulting in higher density, natural hairlines, and optimal
long-term outcomes.
Each procedure is tailored to the patient to ensure the best possible aesthetic result.

The number of grafts you need depends on your level of hair loss, desired density,
and overall goals.
Factors such as the quality and capacity of your donor area, as well as your hair
characteristics, play a key role in determining the treatment plan.
Most patients typically require between 2,000 to 4,000 grafts, depending on their
case.
At Ileanovo, we don’t charge per graft. Instead, our pricing is based on the area to be
covered, the condition of the recipient area, and the capacity of the donor zone,
allowing us to design a more personalized and results-focused treatment.
We provide a free personalized evaluation based on your photos or consultation to
determine the most effective approach for natural, long-lasting results.

At Ileanovo, your procedure is fully managed by qualified medical doctors from start to finish.
Our doctor personally performs both the extraction (FUE) and implantation (DHI) phases, ensuring maximum graft survival and precise placement.

Recovery after a hair transplant is generally quick and well-tolerated.
The initial healing phase lasts around 7 to 10 days, during which any minor swelling or scabbing gradually resolves.
Most patients resume normal activities within a few days, depending on their comfort level.
Our medical team closely monitors your progress and provides personalized guidance to support a smooth and safe recovery.

The timing depends on the type and intensity of your activity, as well as your individual recovery.
In general, we recommend starting light exercise after 10–14 days, gradually increasing intensity.
More intense or high-impact workouts can typically be resumed after 3 to 4 weeks.
As a general guideline, many patients begin light activity around 2 weeks and return to full-intensity exercise after about 1 month.
Our medical team will provide personalized recommendations based on your routine and recovery to ensure safe healing and optimal results.

Both men and women can be good candidates for a hair transplant.
One of the key factors is being over 25 years old, as hair loss patterns tend to stabilize from this age.
The most important requirement is having a healthy and sufficient donor area (usually the occipital area at the back of the head), with strong and abundant hair follicles.
Patients with realistic expectations and stable hair loss tend to achieve the best outcomes.
Our medical team will evaluate your case to determine if you are a suitable candidate and design a personalized treatment plan for the best possible results.

In most cases, it is necessary to trim the donor area (back of the head) to allow for proper extraction of the hair follicles.
The procedure can often be performed while keeping the hair on the top longer (similar to a short or “military-style” cut).
However, for optimal access, precision, and overall results, we generally recommend trimming the entire area.
Our medical team will advise you on the best approach based on your case and preferences.
