Hair Transplant Technique Guides
Procedure names can be confusing. The harvesting method, graft handling, placement plan, donor supply and surgeon assessment all matter.
DHI Placement
DHI normally describes graft placement using an implanter device, commonly after FUE-style extraction.
Read about DHI →FUT Strip Harvesting
FUT removes a strip of donor scalp and leaves a permanent linear donor scar.
Read about FUT →Afro-Textured Hair
Curved follicles, curl characteristics and individual scarring history require careful assessment.

Using Hair Transplant Information Safely

Look for clear information about
- The likely cause of hair loss
- Who performs the surgical procedure
- The proposed donor-harvesting method
- Possible risks and visible scarring
- The full treatment price
- Aftercare and follow-up arrangements
Be cautious about

- Very low prices without a clear treatment plan
- Pressure to book immediately
- Unclear surgeon or clinic information
- Images presented without appropriate context
- Advice that ignores diagnosis and donor limitations

Blog and treatment questions
Hair Transplant Blog FAQs
Does the blog confirm whether I am suitable?
No. Blog content provides general information. Suitability requires individual assessment of hair loss, medical history and donor supply.
Which hair transplant technique is best?
There is no single best technique for everyone. The appropriate method depends on donor characteristics, graft requirements, scarring preferences and the treatment plan.
Can hair transplant results be guaranteed?
No. Graft survival, growth, density, healing, scarring and final appearance vary between patients.
How much does a hair transplant cost?
Cost depends on the treatment area, estimated graft requirement, donor suitability, selected technique and procedure complexity.
When does transplanted hair begin growing?
Early growth may begin after several months, but it can initially be fine, uneven and gradual. Maturation develops over a longer period.
Is shedding after a hair transplant normal?
Temporary shedding of transplanted hairs can occur during the early recovery period before later growth develops.
Can I book treatment from reading a blog article?
Treatment should not be selected from an article alone. Consultation, diagnosis and donor assessment should take place first.
How do I contact the Edinburgh clinic?
Complete the secure consultation form or call the clinic on 0131 639 0004.
