In the Wellness Kliniek we do recommend beginning treatment of significant hair loss as soon as the problem has been identified.
At that point, in most cases, is almost 50 % of the natural hair already gone.
Even if a patient decides to proceed with surgical hair restoration, a galeatomy procedure is recommended in most cases. A Galeatomy procedure will slow and prevent additional hair loss in the future.
Patients may have hair restoration surgery at any age after the early 20s, but the decision for any given patient may be different, depending on a number of factors. The vast majority of our patients had their first procedure while they were not yet completely bald.
That’s why we firmly advise to have a GALEATOMY – hair loss prevention surgery - at this stage off baldness.
Medical treatments such as finasteride and minoxidil are sometimes recommended for men with hair loss to help preserve or partially reverse thinning hair in the rear crown and in the area on top.
A Galeatomy can be combined with HAIR TRANSPLANT surgery.
Hair transplants can be used to fill in the front hairline and thicken the front half of the scalp. Scalp extension surgery gives the best results for hair loss of the crown and on the rear of the head. A Galeatomy and medical treatment can be used to maintain hair and to possibly enhance the long-term results of hair restoration surgery
How do I know if I am a good candidate for hair restoration surgery?
The elements that the hair restoration surgeon assesses to determine whether a candidate is a good subject for surgical hair restoration include such things as:
- The patient’s general state of health; the hair’s texture—fine or coarse;
- The contrast between the patient’s hair colour and skin colour;
- The density of the hairs;
- The number of hair follicles per square cm of the hair in the donor area;
- The size of the area to be covered;
- The size of the area of donor hair; whether or not previous grafting procedures have been done;
- The patient’s goals and expectations.

Making an accurate diagnosis and making treatment recommendations require an examination by an experienced hair restoration surgeon (not by a commercial employee). An open discussion between the patient and the doctor is of great importance.
The patient must understand that transplantation redistributes existing hair follicles and cannot create any new hair follicles.
At our clinic we will give you a realistic estimate of the total cost of the planned procedure or procedures and the result to be expected.
The Wellness Kliniek hair restoration surgeons will work with you to design an individualized plan to fulfil your specific needs, for the most beautiful and long lasting results.
