Hair transplant: everything you need to know

KEIT Hair Clinic places particular emphasis on treatment transparency and clinical documentation. Before transplantation, patients receive information about the technique to be used, the estimated number of follicular units, the areas to be treated, potential risks, and realistically achievable results. Photographic documentation taken before and after the procedure records the initial condition and allows hair growth to be monitored over time, while respecting medical confidentiality.
The KEIT brand also provides an Official Guarantee Certificate, which defines the facility's responsibilities and the terms of assistance and coverage applicable to the treatment, as specified in the contractual documentation. The guarantee conditions are communicated to patients before the procedure, clearly distinguishing the clinic's commitments from the biological outcomes of hair growth, which may vary according to individual characteristics.

KEIT Hair Clinic has dedicated clinical facilities for hair transplantation, organised to accommodate the different stages of the procedure, from patient preparation to follicular unit extraction and implantation. The Micro FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) technique involves extracting individual follicular units using micro-punch instruments, with the diameter selected according to the characteristics of the patient's hair and scalp. Sapphire blades may also be used to prepare the recipient sites, depending on the technique selected.
The Micro FUE technique avoids the linear scar associated with the FUT technique, leaving small, pinpoint scars in the donor area. The organisation of the clinical facilities, dedicated surgical instruments, and established clinical protocols allow the different stages of treatment to be coordinated, with particular attention to precision, follicle protection, and patient comfort.

At KEIT Hair Clinic, each patient is simultaneously attended to by three professionals specialising in hair transplantation, who alternate during the procedure with a second team of three additional specialists. This rotating-shift system allows team members to take breaks during lengthy transplant sessions, reducing physical and mental fatigue and helping maintain attention, concentration, and precision throughout the different stages of treatment.
Each hair transplant is planned according to the density of the donor area, follicular characteristics, the extent of alopecia, and the patient's facial proportions. Particular attention is given to designing the frontal hairline and distributing the grafts according to the natural direction and angle of hair growth.
Planning also focuses on preserving the donor area, avoiding excessive extraction that could compromise hair density and limit the possibility of future procedures. The objective is not simply to transplant the highest possible number of grafts, but to perform every stage carefully and precisely, supported by a team organised to maintain consistent work quality even during longer procedures.

Before transplantation, KEIT Hair Clinic conducts an individual assessment of hair loss, scalp condition, and the availability of follicles in the donor area. This evaluation helps identify the type of alopecia, assess its progression, and determine whether the patient is a suitable candidate for transplantation.
One of KEIT's distinguishing features is its approach to preoperative medical preparation. Although hair transplantation is performed under local anaesthesia, patients undergo a comprehensive medical check-up and multidisciplinary assessment, following the rigorous protocols adopted by the facility for surgical procedures. These examinations include blood and urine tests, coagulation tests, an electrocardiogram (ECG), and specialist consultations with an anaesthesiologist and a cardiologist. When necessary, additional specialists are involved, and further diagnostic investigations are requested.
These assessments help evaluate the patient's overall health, identify potential risk factors, and determine their suitability for the procedure and local anaesthesia. During the consultation, the estimated number of grafts, treatment areas, and realistically achievable results are also established, taking into account the potential future progression of alopecia.
At KEIT Hair Clinic, the fact that hair transplantation is performed under local anaesthesia does not diminish the importance of medical preparation. Every patient undergoes a structured and thorough preoperative assessment before proceeding with treatment.

One of the fundamental aspects of hair transplantation is the proper management of follicular units, from extraction through to implantation. At KEIT Hair Clinic, follicle extraction is planned according to the density and availability of the donor area's follicles, with the aim of preserving its natural appearance and avoiding excessive depletion of follicular reserves.
During the procedure, grafts are handled carefully and maintained under appropriate conditions to minimise dehydration and potential damage to follicular tissue. The clinic also follows infection prevention protocols, including the preparation and disinfection of clinical environments, the use of sterile single-use materials, and the controlled handling of surgical instruments.
Preserving the donor area, handling grafts correctly, and adhering to sterilisation protocols are essential elements in maintaining treatment quality and supporting subsequent hair growth.

Micro FUE hair transplantation is generally performed under local anaesthesia, which helps control pain in the extraction and implantation areas while allowing the patient to remain conscious throughout the procedure. Although general anaesthesia is not normally required, hair transplantation remains a surgical procedure that requires appropriate medical supervision. As the procedure may last several hours, healthcare professionals pay close attention to the patient's overall condition, comfort, and potential need for breaks.
Integration with KEIT Day Hospital provides an additional level of medical and organisational support. The facility has three fully equipped operating theatres, inpatient wards with 20 beds, equipment for monitoring vital signs, and a postoperative recovery and resuscitation room. In cases requiring additional clinical support, specialists in anaesthesia and intensive care, cardiology, and other medical disciplines can intervene according to the facility's established protocols.
These resources, together with the multidisciplinary preoperative assessment, allow hair transplantation to be organised within a structured healthcare system, with particular attention to preventing and managing potential complications.

At KEIT Hair Clinic, patient care continues after the hair transplant procedure has been completed. Each patient is supported by a dedicated team comprising professionals specialising in Micro FUE hair transplantation, a nurse, a patient assistant, and a clinical coordinator. The follow-up protocol includes check-ups at 7 days, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after the procedure to assess scalp healing, donor area condition, and the progression of hair growth.
For international patients, monitoring also continues remotely through periodic photographs and communication with the medical team. The clinic additionally provides a 24/7 emergency contact number, allowing patients to request assistance whenever necessary. This structured follow-up process ensures continued support throughout the different stages of hair growth, providing personalised recommendations and progressively assessing the results.
