FAQs

What makes Follicle's hair transplant services in Toronto different from others?

At Follicle Hair Transplant Clinic in Toronto, we pride ourselves on providing exceptional hair restoration services that set us apart from other clinics. Here are some of the factors that make our services unique:

  1. Board-Certified Surgeons with Specialized Expertise:
    • Our surgeons, Dr. Mark Korman and Dr. Philip Solomon, are board-certified specialists in head, neck, and facial plastic and reconstructive surgery.
    • They bring extensive experience in follicular unit hair transplantation, ensuring that you receive the highest level of surgical skill and aesthetic judgment.
  2. Personalized Patient Care:
    • Comprehensive Consultations: Your hair transplant journey begins with a decision to make a positive change. During your initial consultation—either in-person or virtually via telemedicine—you’ll have the opportunity to discuss all of your concerns with a surgeon – not a consultant or salesperson.
    • Tailored Treatment Plans: We advise you on the best combination of medical treatments and hair transplantation techniques to address your specific situation, ensuring that your goals and expectations are met.
  3. Advanced Surgical Techniques:
    • Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE): We offer FUE, where individual donor follicles are extracted using a precise, motorized surgical tool. This method avoids the need for stitches and leaves minimal visible scarring, allowing for shorter hairstyles.
    • Follicular Unit Strip Surgery (FUT): We also provide FUT, which involves removing a strip of skin with hair from the donor site. Using an advanced trichophytic closure technique, we allow surrounding hairs to grow through the scar, usually making it virtually undetectable.
    • Natural Results: Each hair follicle is carefully placed using advanced microscopic techniques to align with your natural hair growth, avoiding a pluggy appearance and ensuring the transplanted hair mimics your natural growth.
  4. Hands-On Approach Without Automation:
    • Unlike some clinics that use consultants, robots, or commercially available automated systems that are operated by technicians, our board-certified specialists take a hands-on approach at every stage of the procedure.
    • This ensures consistent, high-quality care and optimal outcomes for each patient.
  5. State-of-the-Art Facility and Experienced Team:
    • Our clinic is equipped with modern technology in a comfortable environment designed for patient privacy and comfort.
    • Our highly skilled nurses and staff bring years of expertise to support our surgeons, enhancing the overall patient experience.
  6. Comprehensive Services Including Facial Rejuvenation:
    • Through our partnership with Solomon Facial Plastics, we offer a full range of surgical and non-surgical facial rejuvenation procedures.
    • Services include face and neck lifting, liposuction, blepharoplasty, lip-lifting and laser treatments for skin enhancement and tightening.
  7. Commitment to Patient Satisfaction:
    • We strive to help all of our patients look and feel their very best.
    • Our focus is on delivering predictable and natural outcomes that restore not just hair but also confidence and quality of life.

Choosing Follicle Hair Transplant Clinic means opting for personalized care from board-certified specialists who are dedicated to achieving natural and lasting results. Our comprehensive approach, advanced techniques, and commitment to excellence set us apart as a leading hair transplant clinic in Toronto.

How long does it take to recover from a hair transplant in Toronto?

Recovery time after a hair transplant at Follicle Hair Transplant Clinic varies depending on the individual and the specific procedure used. Here’s a detailed overview:

  1. Immediate Post-Procedure (First Few Days):
    • Minimal Discomfort: Thanks to our advanced techniques and skilled surgeons, most patients experience minimal discomfort.
    • Redness and Swelling: Mild redness and swelling in the treated area are common.  Swelling usually peaks at around day 3 and typically subsides within a few days.
    • Activity Level: Rest is recommended, but you can usually resume non-strenuous activities within a day or two.
  2. First Week:
    • Healing Process: Minor scabbing will form around transplanted follicles and generally resolves within 7-10 days.
    • Hair Washing: You’ll receive specific instructions on how to gently wash your hair to promote healing without disturbing grafts.
    • Work: Many patients feel comfortable returning to work within a few days, especially if their job isn’t physically demanding.
  3. Weeks 2-4:
    • Shedding Phase: Transplanted hairs may be shed during this period, which is a normal part of the hair growth cycle.  The implanted follicles remain dormant under the skin until they re-enter the growth phase.
    • Physical Activities: You can gradually resume more vigorous exercises as advised by your surgeon.
  4. Months 1-3:
    • Dormant Phase: Hair follicles enter a resting phase; visible growth is minimal during this time.
    • Scalp Sensations: Some itching or tingling may occur as the scalp heals.
  5. Months 4-12:
    • New Hair Growth: New hairs begin to grow, initially fine and then thickening over time.
    • Continued Improvement: Hair density and coverage improve progressively.
  6. Full Recovery and Results:
    • 12-18 Months: You’ll see the full results of your hair transplant, with natural-looking and lasting hair growth.

Factors That Enhance Recovery:

  • Advanced Techniques: Our use of FUE with precise, advanced instrumentation minimizes tissue trauma and scarring, promoting faster healing.
  • Trichophytic Closure in FUT: This technique allows hair to grow through the scar, reducing its visibility and aiding recovery.
  • Personalized Care Instructions: We provide detailed post-operative guidelines tailored to your specific needs.

Recovery from a hair transplant at Follicle Hair Transplant Clinic is typically smooth, with most patients experiencing minimal downtime. Our advanced techniques and personalized care ensure that you can return to your normal activities quickly while achieving the best possible results.
