Frequently asked questions about hair transplantation in Switzerland

The costs depend on the number of grafts required, the size of the area to be treated and the technique chosen.

Yes, Swiss Hair Life offers the option of paying the cost of a hair transplant in interest-free installments.

Swiss Hair Life uses the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) techniques. 

With the FUE technique, hair follicles are extracted from the donor area and transplanted. The DHI technique is a further development in which hair follicles are implanted directly into the recipient area without the need to open channels beforehand. 

Both methods are minimally invasive and allow for a quick recovery time.

The Sapphire Method uses special sapphire blades to create precise channels in the scalp. This method reduces injury, allows for faster healing and provides greater hair density and more natural results.

FUE is faster and less invasive, while DHI allows for higher density and a more natural result, but is more expensive. The choice depends on the patient's individual needs.

The transplanted hair is permanent because the follicles taken come from an area that is genetically resistant to hair loss.

Aftercare is crucial for success. This includes cleansing the scalp, avoiding physical exertion and following the doctor's instructions.
