A hair transplant, or Hair Grafts, is a surgical procedure in which hair follicles (grafts) are moved from a donor area to zones affected by hair loss.
The goal: permanent, natural hair growth.
However, the technique used, the surgeon’s experience, and the aftercare make all the difference between success and disappointment.
The Three Most Common Techniques
Today, there are 3 popular techniques for hair transplantation, each with its own advantages and disadvantages:
- ✅ FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction): the most modern and popular technique. Individual hair follicles are removed one by one from the scalp and reimplanted. ➜ Minimal scarring, a short recovery period, natural results.
- ✅ FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation): also known as the strip method. A strip of skin is removed from the back of the head, after which the hair follicles are extracted. ➜ Faster for extensive baldness, but results in a visible scar.
- ✅ DHI (Direct Hair Implantation): an extension of FUE where grafts are immediately implanted using a Choi pen. ➜ More precise placement, but more expensive and time-consuming.
Is a hair transplant suitable for everyone?
Not everyone is a good candidate for a hair implant. The quality of your donor area (usually the back of the head), your age, the type of hair loss, and your expectations all play an important role.
That’s why an accurate diagnosis is so important. At Med-Clinic, we assist patients who are undecided between a transplant or alternative treatments such as PRP, microneedling, or hair fillers.
What does a hair transplant cost in Belgium?
The price of a hair transplant in Belgium depends on the number of grafts, the technique (FUE, DHI), and the surgeon's experience. On average, the cost ranges between €2500 and €7000. Beware of extremely cheap offers abroad – many failed hair transplants occur in chain clinics without proper medical oversight.
