Hair grows in naturally occurring groups of 1-4 hairs, called Follicular Units. Each follicular unit is a complete biological structure that includes nerves, blood vessels, sebaceous glands, collagen and the small muscle erector pili.
Each hair follicle has a genetic predisposition. Single hair follicles are distributed along the frontal hairline and as we move toward the back part of the scalp, hair follicles constitute groups of 2, 3 or even 4 hairs.

The donor area is the area on the back and sides of the scalp. The overwhelming majority of donor area hair follicles has a genetic resistance to androgens, thus the donor area cannot be affected by severe hair loss and maintains an adequate hair density. (Hair loss in the stable hair growth area is negligible for almost all men).

During hair transplantation procedures, doctors extract hair follicles from the donor area and reimplant them to the thinning areas of the scalp.

The transplanted hair follicles preserve their genetic resistance to androgens even in the thinning area, where they continue to grow normally throughout one΄s life time.

BERGMANN KORD doctors extract and reimplant hair follicles only from the scalp. Hair transplantation cannot provide natural and refined aesthetic results if performed with hair follicles from other parts of the body.

Hair transplantation is the only medical treatment for androgenetic alopecia restoration. It is a redistribution of hair from areas of adequate hair growth to areas of insufficient hair growth.
Hair transplantation at BERGMANN KORD can ensure a permanent, natural and flawless aesthetic result.

Hair transplantation responds effectively to the needs of a wide range of persons and covers many cases:

• Men and women experiencing Male or Female Pattern Hair Loss.
• Specific cases of hair loss due to diseases, therapies, traumas, etc
• Corrective procedures and restoration of eyebrows, eyelashes etc.

Hair transplantation can be effective for both genders and at almost all ages, thus being limited only by a specific health problem or a particular type of hair loss (e.g. Telogen Effluvium). For these reasons, a diagnosis and an assessment of your medical history record are absolutely necessary before you make any decision on hair loss treatment.
Limitations also exist in the case of inadequate hair supply or laxity of the donor area, although modern techniques can attain maximum exploitation of the donor area and more than 90% persons interested in hair transplantation are suitable candidates.

No. In some cases, a very slight hair loss can be observed at an advanced age, but this also goes for all hair. Donor area hair follicles are not much affected by androgens and preserve this trait in the recipient area as well.

New hair appears approximately 3 months after the procedure and gradually continues to grow. Noticeable improvement can be observed six months after the procedure and complete results can be attained in approximately one year thereafter. This gradual hair growth helps the patient get familiar with their new appearance, as transplanted hair follicles require a considerable period of time in order to produce new hair.

A hair transplant procedure lasts a few hours, but time goes by quickly and pleasantly. During the procedure, you can have a conversation with the medical team, watch TV or simply relax.

No. Hair transplantation is performed through local anaesthesia to the donor as well as to the recipient area. You can also be administered analgesic treatment in case there is a slight discomfort, like sense of numbing, pulling or itching. Hair transplantation is a mild surgical operation without any side effects or complications, provided you follow the post operative instructions.
In some cases there may appear small scabs at the recipient sites, but they heal within a few days.

The only special treatment for transplanted hair should be provided only during the first post operative days. Thereafter, no special treatment is needed beyond every day hair care. New hair can be washed, cut, combed and dressed.

During your personal consultation with the doctor, you can view pictures of the different stages of the post-operative course in order to have a clear and reliable insight into the post-operative period. The doctor will give you a more analytical description of the post operative course.

The way hair transplantation has been performed until now consists in the extraction of hair follicles from a person and their reimplantation to the same person (auto transplantation). Hair transplants from an incompatible host means that hair follicles are being transplanted from one person to another (person to person transplantation).

This way of hair transplantation is not at all effective, as new hair is perceived as a foreign body and is rejected. This happens even in the case that hair comes from relatives or people of the same blood group.

Hair transplantation is a redistribution of the existing hair follicles; they are transferred from the donor area of the scalp to the recipient area. That means that hair transplantation cannot bring back the initial degree of density. But even under these terms, hair transplantation can accomplish a sufficient degree of density, give the sense of fullness and achieve natural, refined results.
As a future prospect, hair cloning could be the solution to a limited donor area supply and enable many more candidates to be suitable for hair transplantation.

Diagnosis through Microscopic Hair & Scalp Analysis, as well as a personal examination by the doctor, can help us determine the appropriate period to undergo hair transplantation. If hair loss shows signs of stabilization quite early, then hair transplantation can be the appropriate solution. By this way of treatment, appearance of extended thinning can be avoided and hair loss progress can be monitored.

At BERGMANN KORD, hair transplantation is regarded above all as a medical procedure which demands a deep sense of responsibility and scientific excellence. BERGMANN KORD medical teams include head doctors, assistant doctors, an anaesthesiologist and specialized nursing staff. All hair transplantation procedures are performed at our modern, private-owned clinics where all medical and hygiene protocols are strictly observed.

Modern hair transplantation techniques, when performed by skilled and experienced doctors at acknowledged hair clinics, have the potential to ensure the best possible results. But no technique can really help if the doctor does not possess the required skills and experience to fully implement it. And there is no one-size-fits-all technique. The doctor should master all modern techniques and select the suitable one or the appropriate combination thereof.

Our advanced techniques can also apply hair follicles transplantation on eyebrows, eyelashes etc.

The frontal hairline is the key factor in determining the aesthetic result of hair transplantation. It is the first part of the scalp to be seen and should be binding naturally together forehead and hair. BERGMANN KORD doctors establish your personalized hair transplantation plan by taking into account both your desires and the rules of aesthetic medicine. Our policy consists in creating the most suitable profile for our clients. For that reason, our doctors have a specific policy regarding eccentric demands.

We ought to explain what really occurs during the skin΄s healing process, each time there is a trauma, scratch or incision: skin has its own specific healing mechanisms, which try to restore the wounded area as nearly as possible to its initial normal condition. But in no case can it heal 100% so as not to be left with any scar whatsoever. In hair transplantation as well, some small but undetectable scars will remain.

BERGMANN KORD doctors, with the implementation of the FUT technique, have managed to leave but invisible scars that could be detected only by an expert. With FUE, very small but quite visible white spots will remain at the donor area. The doctor's ability plays the most important role in straining as little as possible the donor and recipient area skin so as to leave the slightest possible scars.

BERGMANN KORD doctors implement the most advanced hair transplantation techniques, which have a minimum impact on skin strain, both at the donor and the recipient sites.

The average period is 7 - 10 days. It depends on the organism΄s healing ability, the type of the procedure and the nature of your activities. The doctor will inform you in detail according to your personal lifestyle.
As for returning to work, some people are back even the day right after the procedure, while others prefer having a hair transplant procedure at the beginning of their vacations.

At BERGMANN KORD, all of our planning aims at providing undetectable results. It is the most important parameter that renders hair transplantation successful: it must be completely unnoticeable.

The advanced hair transplantation techniques implemented by BERGMANN KORD doctors can ensure a satisfactory result in only one session for many of our patients. Our doctors strive to provide the optimum solution, which is the maximum utilization of your potential in order to attain the best possible result.

The number of sessions depends on the type and extent of thinning, the desirable degree of density and other factors as set out in your Personalized Hair Transplantation Plan. Our doctors will reliably inform you of the number of sessions needed.

Surely, you only have to inform us of your request and we will arrange an appointment for you.

You can view our doctors΄ CVs through our web site. And of course you can request to see the doctor΄s CV during your personal consultation.

Surely, provided you inform our doctors of the type of treatment and the period you have been following it.

Hair follicles are sensitive biological units and require careful treatment during their extraction, safekeeping and placement to the recipient sites. If the process protocol is strictly observed, hair follicles will grow normally.

The donor area can supply even 50% of its hair without an obvious sense of thinning. A donor area of very high density has 90-100 hair follicles/cm², which correspond to a supply of 10.000 hair follicles.

Hair loss at a young age is an evolving phenomenon and therefore should be treated with extra care and responsibility. More

Hair transplantation cannot prevent hair loss. Transplanted hair will keep growing throughout a lifetime but susceptible hair follicles won΄t cease being vulnerable to hair loss. This is why diagnosis through Microscopic Hair & Scalp Analysis is very important, as it provides useful information on future hair loss progress and also contributes in establishing the appropriate hair transplantation plan. The result of hair transplantation must be the best possible presently and as the patient grows older.

Hair transplantation should be individualized, undetectable and fitting ideally to the patient's profile as if they had never experienced severe hair loss. It should provide a natural and refined aesthetic result.

BERGMANN KORD is providing you with individualized post operative medical care.

The answer will be given to you once we have the results of the Microscopic Hair & Scalp Analysis and you have been personally examined by the doctor. You can also submit the Online Hair Transplant Diagnosis Form attaching your photos.

No. Hair transplantation is a micro procedure performed through local anaesthesia and after the end of the procedure you return home.

Undergoing hair transplantation is a significant decision, as any undesirable result will put you in an unpleasant position. BERGMANN KORD΄s doctors are qualified to undertake the demanding work of improving non satisfactory results.

Hair transplantation is the only medical way to restore thinning areas by using one΄s own existing hair. Even the world΄s most famous pharmaceutical treatments (Finasteride, Minoxidil), do not have any effects on bald areas and for this reason they are usually received from young persons at the early stages of hair loss. Moreover, they should be received throughout one΄s life; otherwise all effects are lost when you quit them.

The only impact on existing hair is absolutely temporary: the reimplantation of hair follicles to the thinning area can cause a kind of shock to adjacent hair follicles. As a result, some of them -and some of the transplanted hair as well- may fall out 2 weeks after the procedure. This is an anticipated and absolutely normal phenomenon. Temporary hair loss is not a matter of concern, as new hair will start regrowing. In some cases, a very small percentage of these hairs does not regrow, because they had already been in the Telogen Phase.

For those patients who wish to have their hair restored within a shorter period of time, BERGMANN KORD doctors have achieved a waiting period of 4 months between 2 subsequent FUT sessions, ensuring the best possible healing process for the donor area.
FUE requires a 5-month interval between 2 subsequent sessions.
