Days 1–10: The critical phase
| ✓ DO | ✗ DON'T |
|---|---|
| Sleep elevated at 45° for 5 nights | Sleep flat (increases swelling) |
| Take prescribed medications exactly | Take ibuprofen or aspirin |
| Wash gently with diluted foam from Day 2 | Rub, scratch or pick the recipient zone |
| Wear loose button-up shirts | Pull overhead garments over transplanted area |
| Stay indoors or use loose sun hat | Expose recipient zone to direct sun |
| Rest and light walking | Exercise, gym, sport (raises blood pressure) |
| Contact clinic if concerned | Smoke — reduces graft survival |
Weeks 2–4 and months 1–6
Weeks 2–4: Continue Finasteride. Continue gentle washing. Take progress photographs. Return to desk work when comfortable. Do NOT aggressively massage scalp or panic at shock loss.
Months 1–6: Monthly photographs (same angle, lighting). Attend 6-month review. Protect scalp from intense sun. Consider PRP at months 3 and 6 for enhanced density.
When normal hair care resumes
Styling products: from month 3. Hair colouring: from month 3. Heat styling: from month 2 (minimal). Aggressive styling or tight hairstyles: from month 4. The transplanted hair can be treated like natural hair from month 3 onward.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. AI is used for trichoscopy donor density mapping, graft count estimation from photographs, and digital hairline design simulation. At Hairmedico, AI-assisted trichoscopy is part of the Algorithmic FUE planning process. Robotic extraction is not used — Dr. Arslan's manual FUE achieves lower transection rates across all hair types.
AI simulation tools can show proposed hairline positions on photographs, but cannot predict actual graft survival (depends on surgeon quality), actual density (depends on hair calibre), or how the result interacts with future native hair loss. They are design communication aids, not result guarantees.
Not in the foreseeable future. AI adds value in data analysis (density mapping, graft counting) but cannot replace the aesthetic judgment required for natural hairline design, the technical adaptation required for diverse hair types, or the long-term clinical planning that accounts for individual hair loss trajectories.
Frequently Asked Questions
Hairmedico all-inclusive: price on request for 2,000–3,500 grafts including surgery, 5-star hotel, transfers, PRP and 12-month follow-up.
Yes. Transplanted follicles are DHT-resistant and grow permanently for the patient's lifetime.
Desk work: 5–7 days. Scabs shed by Day 10–14. New growth from months 3–5. Final result months 12–14.
Dr. Arslan Musbeh personally — every extraction, every channel, every graft. One patient per day.
Yes, with an accredited surgeon-led clinic. Verify FUE Europe membership, Ministry of Health registration, and confirm the surgeon personally operates.
