Hair Transplant

Natural & scar-free methods of hair transplantation at Swiss Medical Aesthetics

There are various types of hair loss, each with its own causes and patterns.

Below are the most common types and their characteristics:

1. Androgenetic Alopecia (hereditary hair loss)

Characteristics:

  • Most common form of hair loss.
  • Known in men as "receding hairlines" or "baldness," while women often experience diffuse hair thinning in the crown area.

Cause:

  • Hypersensitivity of hair follicles to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone.
  • Genetic predisposition plays a major role.

Treatment:

  • Medications like Minoxidil or Finasteride.
  • Hair transplants.

2. Alopecia Areata (patchy hair loss)

Characteristics:

  • Sudden, round, or oval patches of hair loss on the scalp or body.
  • In severe cases, it can lead to total hair loss (Alopecia Totalis or Universalis).

Cause:

  • Autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks hair follicles.

Treatment:

  • Corticosteroid injections, topical immunotherapy, or other anti-inflammatory treatments.

3. Diffuse Hair Loss (Diffuse Alopecia)

Characteristics:

  • Even hair thinning across the entire scalp.
  • Hair becomes thinner but no bald spots develop.

Cause:

  • Stress, hormonal changes, malnutrition, medications, thyroid disorders, or infections.

Treatment:

  • Addressing the underlying cause, supplements, or general hair care.

4. Scarring Hair Loss (Cicatricial Alopecia)

Characteristics:

  • Permanent hair loss due to scarring that destroys hair follicles.
  • Often accompanied by redness, scaling, or pain.

Cause:

  • Inflammatory conditions like lupus, lichen planopilaris, or severe infections.

Treatment:

  • Anti-inflammatory medications or surgical options.

5. Traction Alopecia

Characteristics:

  • Hair loss due to mechanical tension on the hair follicles, e.g., tight hairstyles like braids, dreadlocks, or extensions.

Cause:

  • Prolonged tension or pulling on the hair.

Treatment:

  • Avoiding stressful hairstyles, regenerating hair with care products.

6. Telogen Effluvium

Characteristics:

  • Temporary hair loss where more hairs enter the resting phase (telogen).
  • Hair loss often occurs 2–3 months after a triggering event.

Cause:

  • Stress, childbirth, surgeries, severe illnesses, or malnutrition.

Treatment:

  • Usually self-resolving; addressing the cause is key.

7. Congenital Alopecia

Characteristics:

  • Malformation of hair follicles leading to partial or complete hairlessness.

Cause:

  • Genetically inherited condition.

Treatment:

  • No specific therapy; cosmetic solutions may be an option.

The most advanced FUE hair transplantation technique currently offers an effective solution for baldness, achieving long-lasting natural results. Over the last 20 years, micro-surgery and FUE hair transplants have made significant progress in this field.

Advantages of FUE & DHI Hair Transplantation Techniques

  • Efficient:
    Up to 3,500 grafts (approximately 7,000 hairs) can be implanted in one day with natural-looking results.
  • Minimally painful and scar-free:
    Local anesthesia is used, leaving only tiny white dots at the donor site.
  • Modern:
    Cutting-edge extraction systems ensure excellent graft quality.
  • Gentle and precise:
    Implantation is carried out meticulously to improve the quality and outcome of the transplant.
  • Safe:
    Fully medically and personally supervised in Zurich.

Techniques Overview:

  1. Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT): Strip method, suitable for high hair loss but leaves a linear scar.
  2. Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE): Graft-by-graft extraction; minimal scarring and shorter recovery time.
  3. Direct Hair Implantation (DHI): Advanced FUE technique with immediate implantation using a Choi Pen.
  4. Body-to-Scalp Transplantation: Using body hair as an alternative for insufficient scalp donor hair.


The choice of technique depends on individual needs, costs, and recovery time.
