Step by step guide

The first step is your first contact with us after reading through the details about the desired treatment. You already know a lot and probably ready to fill in our consultation form or in case you still have unanswered questions you can either call or email our customer care coordinator.

There are three ways you can contact us as follows:

• by sending us an e-mail
• fill out our consultation form (Please pick the desired category and find the treatment of your choice)
• talk to us on Skype or phone (see our contact page)

Prior any treatment procedure we will need more information about your health status, and pictures are needed of your head taken from font, abpve, back and both sides.

After exchanging all details usually by mail and occasionally by phone as well, you will receive your customised treatment plan and the quote with the total price of the procedure.

At this stage you know everything about the procedure and it’s time for you to decide when to benefit from our services.

The confirmation process usually involves the following requirements from your side:

• confirmation should be sent by e-mail
• state exactly when would be more suitable for you
• to confirm your surgery we ask a deposit
• if you’d like us to book your accommodation
• leisure time activities you might be interested in
• provide a mobile number
• any other special arrangements

A mobile number is needed to make sure we can always contact you while your stay in Hungary.

You are welcome to a free consultation with Dr. Mantse in our private clinic at any time before scheduling your surgery. Usually patients are asked to arrive at least one day before the surgery to have time for a short period of relaxation. 

Some patients, however, will choose to travel to Budapest just prior to their procedures.  In this case your first personal consultation appointment with Dr. Mantse is on the morning of your scheduled surgery. 

During your consultation, dr.Mantse will examine your head thoroughly and take a detailed medical history. The examination of your head should include the use of an instrument called the “Hair Densitometer”. This measures your hair density and also allows our doctor to properly evaluate the number of hairs in each of your naturally occurring follicular units and the hair loss pattern you may experience over time if it is applicable to your type of hair loss. This instrument compares fine hair to thick ones, measuring the degree of miniaturization of your hair strands caused by shrinking hair follicles, the progressive diminishing of each hair’s diameter and length. Dr.Manste will also explain the entire hair transplant procedure, including which type of procedure will be used for your hair transplant and any associated risks, and tell you what you can expect in the months following the hair transplant procedure.

Payment will be made after the consultation or on the day of surgery, before execution of treatment or surgery.

Male pattern hair loss and female pattern hair loss are terms that include the word pattern. That’s because there is a pattern to the hair loss. You’ve probably noticed, especially in men, that no matter how much hair they lost in the front, top, and crown areas of their heads, the sides and backs of their heads retain hair and sometimes a great deal of it. The sides and back are almost not affected by the action of DHT upon their hair follicles. This area of remaining hair is called ‘Horseshoe’ shaped pattern of hair. These areas are the donor sites from which the hair you donate to yourself is removed, along with the follicles and some surrounding tissue.

After returning home, we encourage you to stay in contact with us, if you have any questions, please contact us and we will respond promptly and accordingly.

Just like all our previous patients, you as well will receive a form to be filled in informing us about the level of services we provide. There will be some general questions to be answered and it takes only ten minutes to complete.

We also ask you for suggestions in order to improve our services and let us know openly what was you felt is unprofessional or something which made you feel uncomfortable.

There are many ways of closing the open wounds created from the removal of the hair and surrounding skin. At ProHAIR Transplant Clinic we use the most up to date methods of concealing the sutures and therefore we use different types of closing materials depending on the patient’s need.

Once it’s been extracted, it is transplanted to the balding parts of your scalp, into tiny needle holes that the doctor has created with his or her surgical tools. The donated hair, hair follicles, surrounding tissue, and skin are called Follicular Units, and each follicular unit contains one or more hair follicles with accompanying hair, tissue, and skin. No two heads are alike, and you will see that the art of hair transplantation is just as important as it’s science or medical aspects. Some people have naturally thick hair, and some don’t.

Hair density is the number of hair follicles you have per square centimeter of scalp. Scalp laxity is the flexibility and looseness of your scalp. More follicular units of hair can be transplanted when your density is high and the scalp laxity is high.

Coarse hair is bulkier and can therefore be transplanted using fewer hairs per follicular units since it gives more coverage of the scalp. Fine hair has less bulb and can give a very natural look but less coverage than coarser hair. Wavy and curly hair lends itself to good visual results in transplantation because a single wavy or curly hair curls on itself and can therefore cover more scalp area than can a straight hair. Curly hair also rises from the scalp and holds its shape, and these factors also give the appearance of greater coverage.

The closer your hair color is to your skin color, the better the appearance of the hair’s coverage. African hair is dark and very curly and therefore provides the least contrast against various shades of dark skin, giving the best visual hair transplant results. From a visual point of view, people with dark, straight hair and alight complexion pose the most artistic challenges in hair transplantation because they have the most contrast between their hair and skin shades.

When designing your procedure, your doctor at ProHAIR Transplant Clinic will keep in mind your future hair loss pattern and the rate of that potential hair loss. The design of your restored hairline is crucial. Natural frontal hairlines vary in shape and density from person to person. Your doctor at ProHAIR Transplant Clinicwill choose and make the recipient sites himself, and not the technicians, for the transplanted hair based upon an overall design.

The front and top of your head will receive transplanted hair first because these are the areas that frame your face and make the most impact on your appearance. The hairline always makes the person look at least 10 years younger. The crown is usually the last area to receive hair (in later procedures), unless it’s your only balding area.

he number of procedures depends upon the extent of your hair loss, the projected hair loss rate, the amount of donor hair you can spare, and other artistic and medical considerations. Men can often have the results they’re looking for in just one or two hair transplant sessions in which thousands of hairs are transplanted in follicular units of one to four hairs each. Women are usually satisfied by one session to achieve proper density. The sessions can last between three to five hours each. Future sessions can follow if necessary, after a minimum of 6 months.

As any surgical procedure, there is small pain or numbing felt, but the pain is less than encountered at the dentist’s office. At our clinic we use the most up-to date methods during the whole procedure, including the process of local anesthesia. But keep in mind that hair transplant surgery takes place only under local anesthesia, therefore if a doctor asks or tells you that he performs or will perform hair transplantation under general anesthesia then get out of there as fast as you can because he does not perform hair transplants at all.

When the procedure is finished, depending on your gender. If you are a male patient, almost all of the time we will put a baseball cap on your head before leaving the clinic. You will then come back the following day for hair washing and drying, but please keep in mind that under no circumstances are you allowed to operate a motor vehicle the night before your surgery till the night of hair washing. If you are a female patient then you also get a baseball cap and the same applies to you concerning operation of motor vehicle.

The next step is to relax at home, if possible. Then finally, there is the follow-up consultation after 6 months.

• A typical hair transplant procedure takes approximately 7 hours, during which time patients watch movies, listen to music, talk with Dr. Mantse & the nursing staff while resting comfortably under a local anesthesia.  If Dr. Mantse requires more than 10 hours to perform the hair transplant, then he will continue the following day. 

 Dr. Mantse’s exclusive No Look Hair Transplant procedure takes the same amount of time as the FUE/FUT hair transplantation procedure.
