Recovery and results
How long is the recovery period?
Local anesthesia only: you can resume daily activities the next day. Visible signs persist for around 15 days. The donor zone heals in 7 days, and crusts on the implant area fall by day 15. Grafts remain fragile for 2 weeks.

Eligibility and alternatives
What is the best age for a hair transplant?
We prefer some stabilization of hair loss before surgery, typically from age 30 to 35. Multiple factors are considered: alopecia progression, Norwood/Ludwig stage, medical history and psychological impact.

Choosing Regenae
Why choose France for a hair transplant?
France enforces stricter hygiene and sterilization standards. Procedures are performed by board-certified physicians with medical safety protocols, and the full follow-up (consultations, monitoring, complications management) is included. Once travel and follow-up are factored in, the final cost is comparable to lower-priced foreign clinics, without the risk.
