Wat kost een haartransplantatie?

Elke situatie is uniek. Tijdens een gratis en vrijblijvend consult analyseren wij uw situatie en geven wij een transparante prijsopgave op maat.

Hoe lang duurt een haartransplantatie?

Gemiddeld 6–8 uur, afhankelijk van het aantal grafts en de techniek. De behandeling gebeurt onder lokale verdoving.

Wanneer zie ik resultaten?

Eerste resultaten na 3–4 maanden; eindresultaat na 12–18 maanden wanneer alle getransplanteerde haren volledig zijn gegroeid.

Is een haartransplantatie pijnlijk?

Met lokale verdoving voel je tijdens de procedure geen pijn. Na afloop kan er lichte gevoeligheid zijn, die snel verdwijnt.

Wat is het verschil tussen FUE en DHI?

FUE is ideaal voor grote oppervlaktes (3000+ grafts). DHI is perfect voor kleine gebieden en haarlijn met maximale precisie. DHI kan ook zonder scheren worden uitgevoerd.

Am I a suitable candidate for a hair transplant?

Most men and women with hereditary hair loss are excellent candidates for a hair transplant at Alpha Haarkliniek. Suitability depends on the quality of your donor area and the stability of your hair loss. Our specialized doctors at Alpha Haarkliniek assess this accurately during a free, personal consultation using advanced scalp analysis.

Which method is best: FUE or DHI?

At Alpha Haarkliniek, we specialize in the modern FUE Sapphire and DHI methods. FUE is ideal for large quantities of grafts and covering larger areas. DHI is perfect for smaller quantities and areas, offers maximum precision, and can often be performed without shaving. Alpha Haarkliniek principally does not use the outdated FUT (strip) method due to the large scar it leaves. Our specialists will advise you on the best method for your situation.

What is the exact difference between FUE and DHI?

Simply put: with FUE, channels are opened first, after which grafts are placed - ideal for high graft counts. With DHI, harvesting and direct implantation happen in one fluid motion using a special implanter pen, perfect for precision and density. DHI can also be done without shaving, which many women appreciate. Alpha Haarkliniek doctors master both techniques at the highest level and choose the optimal method based on your specific needs.

Do you also perform beard and eyebrow transplants?

Yes, certainly. The specialists at Alpha Haarkliniek have extensive experience transplanting hair to the beard and eyebrows. This requires very specific expertise regarding growth direction and aesthetics—a specialty Alpha Haarkliniek is widely known for. We achieve natural, aesthetically pleasing results that perfectly suit your face.

What are hair boosters like PRP or Stem Cell treatments?

These are advanced non-surgical treatments offered by Alpha Haarkliniek to complement hair transplants. PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) uses your own blood plasma to stimulate hair growth. Stem cell therapy uses cells from your own fat tissue. Both treatments are designed to strengthen existing hair, slow down hair loss, and are a perfect addition to a transplant.

Is a hair transplant different for women than for men?

Yes, Alpha Haarkliniek uses a specific approach for women. Women more often experience diffuse hair loss (thinning all over) rather than bald spots. Our specialists often use the DHI method to implant between existing hairs without shaving, paying extra attention to the typically female hairline.

From what age can I undergo treatment?

Alpha Haarkliniek generally maintains a minimum age of 20 years. At this age, the pattern of hair loss has often stabilized, which is essential for a durable and natural end result. Our doctors assess your personal situation and advise you on the optimal timing for treatment.

Is a hair transplant painful?

The procedure at Alpha Haarkliniek is virtually painless thanks to our advanced local anesthesia and the use of the needle-free Comfort-in system. You will only feel the first light 'taps'. After treatment, the scalp may feel tight, but this is easily managed with painkillers prescribed by Alpha Haarkliniek. Your comfort is our priority.

What exactly does a free consultation entail?

During the free consultation at Alpha Haarkliniek (30-60 min), our BIG-registered specialists analyze your hair and donor area using advanced diagnostics. We discuss your personal wishes, explain the FUE and DHI methods in detail, and create a custom treatment plan. You will receive a transparent all-in quote, entirely without obligation.

Do I need to stop taking certain medications before treatment?

Yes, some medications, such as blood thinners (Aspirin, Ibuprofen), must be stopped 7-10 days in advance for optimal results. Always discuss your medication use with the Alpha Haarkliniek specialist during the consultation. Never stop on your own initiative without consulting our medical team.

What is the influence of smoking and alcohol on the treatment?

Alpha Haarkliniek urgently advises stopping smoking and alcohol at least 7 days before and 7 days after the procedure. Both negatively affect blood flow and wound healing, which can lower the survival rate of the grafts.

What if my donor area is of poor quality?

The quality of the donor area (back of the head) is crucial for the final result. If this area is too thin, there may not be enough grafts for full coverage. Alpha Haarkliniek specialists are honest and transparent about this, advising you on realistic results or alternative treatments like PRP.

Does a hair transplant work on afro or curly hair?

Yes, absolutely. The experienced team at Alpha Haarkliniek specializes in treating all hair types, including afro and highly curly hair. This requires a special extraction technique because the follicles curl underneath the skin, but our specialists master this technique at the highest level.

Can I see photos of previous patients?

Absolutely. Transparency is essential to Alpha Haarkliniek. During your consultation, our specialists will show you a wide range of authentic before-and-after photos of patients with similar situations, giving you a realistic idea of the results we achieve.

How many grafts do I need?

An indication: receding hairlines require approx. 1500-2500 grafts, a crown 1200-2000 grafts. However, this is just an estimate. The exact number, suiting your personal wishes and situation, is determined by Alpha Haarkliniek specialists together with you in a custom treatment plan.

Will my head be completely shaved?

Not necessarily! For men, shaving the donor area is often required. For women, Alpha Haarkliniek can often perform the transplant without shaving the hair (the 'invisible' method), especially with DHI. We create a small 'shaving window' in the donor area that is covered by longer hair.

How long does the treatment take on average?

A treatment day at Alpha Haarkliniek lasts on average 6 to 8 hours. This includes preparation, extraction, an extensive lunch break, and implantation. We take the time needed for a perfect, natural result; rushing does not fit our quality standards.

How is the hairline designed?

This is purely custom work. We look at your facial structure, age, and ethnicity. A male hairline differs from a female one. The doctors at Alpha Haarkliniek always draw this out together with you and adjust it until you are 100% satisfied.

Will I have visible scars?

No. Thanks to advanced FUE and DHI techniques, there are no linear scars as with the old FUT method. We use micro-instruments that leave only tiny dots, which are virtually invisible to the naked eye after healing.

What is a 'graft' and how many hairs does it contain?

A 'graft' is the term for a hair follicle unit. Depending on your hair type, one graft contains 1, 2, 3, or sometimes even 4 hairs. Specialists at Alpha Haarkliniek select grafts strategically: 'single' grafts for a natural hairline and 'multi' grafts for maximum density.

Who performs the hair transplant?

At Alpha Haarkliniek, your treatment is led from A to Z by our BIG-registered doctors, assisted by an experienced medical team. The doctor designs your hairline and performs or strictly supervises the crucial phases of extraction and implantation.

What do I feel during anesthesia?

At Alpha Haarkliniek, anesthesia is the only moment you might feel brief discomfort. We use the advanced, needle-free Comfort-in system for the initial sedation. This feels like a small 'tap' against the skin, after which the rest of the process is painless.

What can I do during the (long) treatment day?

Your comfort is important. During treatment, you lie relaxed in a comfortable chair. You can listen to music, watch movies or series (we have Netflix), or even sleep. We also schedule an extensive lunch break.

Do you use donor hair from someone else?

No, never. A hair transplant is only possible with your own donor hair (autotransplantation). The body would immediately reject donor hair from another person. We only use your own, genetically compatible hair follicles.

What does the recovery process look like?

The first 7-10 days are crucial for optimal growth. You will experience redness and scabbing. After about 10 days, most healing is complete. You will receive a detailed aftercare protocol, special care products, and medication from Alpha Haarkliniek to optimize recovery.

What is 'shock loss' and should I be worried?

No, absolutely not. It is a normal phenomenon where transplanted hair falls out temporarily after 2-8 weeks. The hair roots remain safe in the scalp and begin producing new, permanent hair after about 3-4 months.

When can I resume sports or work?

Alpha Haarkliniek advises resting for the first week. Light office work can often be resumed after a few days. Intensive sports, swimming, and saunas are allowed again after 2 to 3 weeks.

What is the specific aftercare for an eyebrow transplant?

This is very mild. Small scabs will fall off after 5-7 days. It is important to keep the area dry and not touch it. You will receive a special ointment. Make-up is allowed again after about 10-14 days.

How do I sleep the first few nights?

For the first 5 to 7 nights, Alpha Haarkliniek advises sleeping on your back with a slightly elevated head. We provide a special ergonomic neck pillow to optimally protect the treated area during sleep.

How and when should I wash my hair for the first time?

The first wash takes place 48 to 72 hours after the procedure, often under guidance in our clinic. You receive a special mild shampoo and lotion, plus detailed instructions. Correct washing is crucial.

When can I wear a cap or hat again?

You can wear a very loose-fitting cap that puts no pressure on the treated area after 3-4 days if necessary. After about 14 days, when grafts are stable, you can wear normal headwear again.

When do the scabs fall off?

Scabs in the recipient area dry up and fall off naturally between day 7 and day 12. It is crucial not to scratch them; this can damage new grafts. Our washing protocol helps soften the scabs.

Is facial swelling normal?

Yes, some swelling on the forehead or around the eyes is a normal reaction to the anesthetic fluid. This usually occurs around day 2-4 and subsides on its own. Cooling (not on the treated area) and sleeping upright helps.

What should I do if I accidentally bump my head?

The grafts are vulnerable for the first 10 days. Be very careful getting in and out of cars. If you bump your head lightly, usually nothing is wrong. In case of doubt or bleeding, contact Alpha Haarkliniek immediately.

When can I use Minoxidil or Finasteride again?

If you use these, Alpha Haarkliniek advises pausing Minoxidil for 2 weeks (due to alcohol content). Finasteride can often be continued. Always consult your treating specialist for advice.

When will I see the final result?

Hair growth takes time. The first new hairs appear after 3-4 months. After 6 months you see a clear improvement. The final, full result is visible after 12 to 15 months. Alpha Haarkliniek monitors your progress with regular check-ups.

How fast do I see results from PRP?

This is faster but more subtle. Since PRP strengthens existing hair, most patients notice after 2-3 treatments that their hair feels fuller and hair loss decreases.

Is the result permanent?

Yes, at Alpha Haarkliniek the result is permanent. The transplanted hair follicles come from the 'eternal wreath'. These hairs are genetically immune to hereditary hair loss and will continue to produce hair for a lifetime.

How natural will the end result look?

Our medical team strives for a 100% natural result. We pay extreme attention to the hairline, growth direction, and density, so the result is indistinguishable from real hair. Naturalness is our trademark.

Do I need to trim transplanted eyebrows?

Yes. Since we use scalp hair for eyebrows, it continues to grow to the length of scalp hair. You will need to trim them periodically (e.g., every 2-3 weeks). Our specialists will teach you how.

Will my hair be as thick as it used to be?

A transplant relocates hair; it doesn't create new hair. We cannot return the density of your youth 1-to-1. However, we strive for an *optical density* that looks full and natural. Honesty comes first.

Will my donor area look good after the transplant?

Yes. Alpha Haarkliniek uses the 'golden standard' for extraction: we harvest grafts evenly spread over the donor area and never take more than 30-40% of available hair. This keeps the donor area looking full with virtually invisible traces.

When can I dye, cut, or style my new hair?

You can cut the hair (with scissors) after 4-6 weeks. For clippers, we advise waiting 3-6 months. For dyeing or styling products (gel, wax), we recommend waiting at least 1 month.

What if I need a second treatment?

This is sometimes necessary if hair loss continues or if someone wants extreme density not achievable in one session. A second treatment is possible if the donor area allows it, usually after at least 12 months.

Will the transplanted hair also turn gray?

Yes. The transplanted hair retains all its genetic properties. If your hair naturally turns gray with age, the transplanted hair will turn gray in exactly the same way.

What are the risks and side effects?

While complications are extremely rare at Alpha Haarkliniek, every medical procedure carries risks. The most common side effects are mild swelling, redness, and itching in the first few days. These are temporary and manageable.

What is a full head hair transplant?

A full head hair transplant is an extensive treatment for people with severe baldness (Norwood scale 5–7). During this treatment, 3000 to 5000+ grafts are transplanted to create complete head coverage, from the hairline to the crown.

We primarily use the FUE sapphire technique due to its ability to harvest large numbers of grafts with minimal scarring. In some cases, we combine FUE with DHI for specific zones like the hairline. With over 15,000 successful treatments, Alpha Hair Clinic has the expertise for these complex procedures.

The treatment process

From bald to full in 4 steps

A full head transplant is an intensive process that requires careful planning and expertise

Extensive analysis and planning

During the free consultation, we analyze your donor area, determine the number of required grafts (3000–5000+), and design your new hairline. We discuss whether one or two sessions are needed and create a detailed treatment plan.

Preparation and donor area check

We check if your donor area can provide sufficient grafts for complete coverage. You receive comprehensive instructions for preparation, including medication and lifestyle advice for optimal results.

Extraction and channel creation (6–8 hours)

After needle-free anesthesia, 3000–5000+ grafts are carefully harvested using FUE sapphire. Simultaneously, channels are created at the perfect angle and density for a natural result. This is an intensive day lasting 6–8 hours.

Implantation and recovery process

All grafts are strategically placed for optimal coverage and natural growth direction. After the treatment, we guide you intensively during recovery. After 12-18 months, you'll see the final, complete result.
