Hair transplant treatment offers a long-term option for restoring areas of hair thinning or pattern baldness. Using advanced surgical hair restoration techniques, healthy hair follicles are carefully relocated from a donor area to areas affected by hair loss.
Atlantis Medical provides a comprehensive range of hair transplant procedures, developed to address varying types of hair loss and hair restoration goals. Every treatment plan is designed individually, ensuring a considered and tailored approach to achieving natural-looking, durable results.
What is a Hair Transplant Treatment?
A hair transplant involves transferring healthy hair follicles from areas of the scalp where hair is more resistant to thinning (typically the back or sides) to areas experiencing reduced hair density. Hair transplant procedures are typically used to manage male and female pattern hair loss, restore receding hairlines and add density to thinning areas.
Surgical hair restoration is a well-established method that can offer permanent outcomes when performed appropriately and with careful planning. Different hair transplant techniques are available, with the choice of method influenced by factors such as hair type, extent of hair loss, donor hair availability and client preferences.
Our Hair Transplant Techniques
At Atlantis Medical, we offer several hair transplant techniques to provide flexible options for a wide range of needs. Each approach is selected based on the individual’s hair restoration goals, scalp characteristics and treatment plan.
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction)
FUE hair transplant treatment involves harvesting individual follicular units directly from the donor area using precise microsurgical tools. This method leaves minimal scarring, allows faster healing and is ideal for clients who prefer shorter hairstyles. FUE is often recommended when clients seek a less invasive method while achieving natural-looking results across the scalp.
Long Hair FUE
Long Hair FUE uses the same principles as traditional FUE but preserves the length of the harvested hairs. This technique allows for an immediate visualisation of placement and density without waiting for regrowth. Long Hair FUE may be considered for clients who wish to preview their hair transplant results more quickly or who prefer not to shave the donor area extensively.
FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation)
FUT hair transplant treatment, also known as strip surgery, involves removing a small strip of skin from the donor area to harvest follicular units. This method allows for the efficient collection of a larger number of grafts, making it a suitable option for clients seeking extensive coverage. By concentrating on the “safe donor zone,” FUT can maximise the strength and durability of transplanted hair follicles.
Beard Hair Transplant Procedures
In addition to scalp hair restoration, surgical hair restoration techniques can also be adapted for facial areas. Atlantis Medical offers specialist treatments for beard, moustache and eyebrow restoration.
Beard and Moustache Transplant
Beard and moustache transplantation involves using the FUE method to harvest and implant hair follicles into facial regions. Careful attention is given to the natural angle, density and direction of facial hair growth. Beard transplant procedures can assist in areas where hair growth is sparse or patchy, supporting more even and defined facial contours.
Eyebrow Transplant
An eyebrow transplant restores symmetry and density to thin or overplucked eyebrows. The procedure involves transplanting individual hair follicles into the brow area, carefully angling each graft to replicate natural eyebrow growth patterns. Eyebrow transplantation requires a meticulous approach to achieve balanced and realistic results, supporting the natural framing of facial features.
Planning Your Hair Transplant Treatment
Successful hair transplant treatment begins with a detailed consultation and planning process. At Atlantis Medical, each consultation involves a comprehensive assessment of the scalp, hair density, donor hair availability, hair loss pattern and restoration goals.
Key factors discussed during planning include:
- The most appropriate technique (FUE, Long Hair FUE, or FUT)
- The estimated number of grafts required
- The expected coverage area
- Hair characteristics such as thickness, texture and colour
Individualised treatment planning is essential to ensure that the transplant design aligns with the client’s natural hairline, existing hair growth and long-term maintenance goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a hair transplant treatment work?
Hair transplant treatment involves relocating healthy hair follicles from a donor area, usually at the back or sides of the scalp, to areas where hair is thinning or absent. Techniques such as FUE or FUT allow hair to be redistributed in a way that supports natural growth patterns and appearance.
What happens during a hair transplant procedure?
During a hair transplant procedure, hair follicles are harvested from the donor site and carefully implanted into the thinning or balding areas. The process typically takes several hours, depending on the number of grafts required and is performed under local anaesthesia to support client comfort.
Is hair transplant treatment permanent?
Hair transplant treatment is considered a long-term option for hair restoration. The transplanted hair follicles are typically resistant to the factors that cause pattern baldness, meaning that once implanted, they are expected to continue growing naturally over time with appropriate care.
What is the difference between FUE and FUT hair transplants?
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) removes individual follicles directly, resulting in minimal scarring and quicker healing. FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) involves removing a strip of scalp to harvest follicles, allowing for a larger graft yield. The choice depends on individual hair restoration goals and donor area characteristics.
What can I expect after hair transplant treatment?
After hair transplant treatment, it is normal to experience minor swelling and scabbing at graft sites. Initial hair shedding may occur before regrowth begins. Most clients start to notice early signs of new hair growth within three to four months, with full results typically visible by 12 months.
Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
