Pink Apple Aesthetics offers Follicular Unit Strip Surgery (FUSS) and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) to tackle Hair loss caused by ageing or by environmental causes. If thinning hair affects your confidence, various options can help you regain the locks, straight hair, or curls you desire.
A hair transplant is a surgical procedure that moves hair follicles from a donor site to a balding area. Two primary methods are FUSS and FUE. FUSS involves removing a strip of skin from the donor area and dissecting it into follicular units for transplantation, while FUE directly extracts individual follicular units using a punch tool. Using modern techniques, our skilled plastic surgeon restores your confidence along with your hair.
FUSS involves transferring hair from the back of the scalp to areas with thinning or balding hair. During the procedure, recipient sites are created in the patient’s scalp, and the follicular units are inserted to encourage new hair growth. In contrast, FUE extracts individual follicular units one by one from the donor area and transplants them into the balding regions. FUE leaves minimal scars and is suitable for those who prefer short hair.
After the procedure, patients may experience redness, swelling, and tenderness in both donor and recipient sites for a few weeks. Transplanted hair falls out initially but regrows within months. Full results take about a year. To ensure a smooth recovery, follow your doctor’s instructions, keep sites clean and dry, protect sites from direct sun exposure for six weeks, and take prescribed pain medication if needed

We highly value our patients’ feedback. Discover the heartfelt experiences of those who have entrusted us with their care.
You will be pleasantly surprised!
We will apply local anaesthetic prior to your procedure, so while there may be a tiny amount of pain from those initial injections, it is unlikely you will feel anything other than mild discomfort from that point onwards.
Similarly, there may be some mild irritation after the surgery but this will clear up very quickly thanks to the saline spray we provide and our aftercare pack.
Every case of hair-loss is different and this answer often depends on you.
If you are unhappy with your hair-loss and believe it is having a negative impact on your confidence or self-esteem, we highly recommend contacting us to book to consultation so we can discuss your options and what our surgeons can achieve for you.
Absolutely not!
You can request facial hair transplants to combat hair loss of the beard, sideburns, moustache, eyebrows and more.
We do need to assess this on a case by case basis which is why you should book a consultation if you wish to discuss it.
At the back of your neck where the donor follicles are harvested, there will be some tiny scratches that may leave minimal scarring.
These scratches are less than 1mm in diameter and it is very unlikely this scarring will be noticeable.
There are no other side effects and hair transplants are very non-invasive.
Most of our procedures take place over a single day, meaning you can get back to your daily life as soon as possible.
Larger cases may require two days.
Every patient is unique and the most suitable hair transplant proceedure for you will be determined at initial consultation and discussed in detail with you.
We will always discuss all options with you and give our expert recommendation. In some larger cases of hair loss a combined proceedure may be applicable.
This is a normal occurrence and an important part of the procedure.
The transplants hair moult because they have been disturbed. The follicle and stem cells remain under the skin and will regrow health new hair in due course.
At around 2-4 months post-op your the transplanted hair will begin to push through the skin, quite fine at first.
This will happen at different times and at different speeds causing a patchy start. In 12 months you can expect a full regrowth of your transplanted hair.
We advise avoiding swimming for 14 days after your procedure.
Most swimming pools contain chlorine which should not come into contact with broken skin or healing wounds.
Even pools without chlorine can pose an infection risk to your healing scalp.
Once 2 weeks have passed and your scalp has fully healed, this is no longer an issue.
There is not one answer to this as the cost of a hair transplant procedure varies based on the patient, their current hair the strength of their donor site, their ideal end goal etc.
For more information on how much it may cost you personally, we recommend booking a consultation so we can investigate your specific requirements.
