What is Crown Hair Transplant?
Crown Hair Transplant is a minimally invasive surgical procedure in which the surgeon harvests grafts from the patient’s head and implants them back into the crown area. The hairs then grow and behave like normal hair (characteristics might slightly differ from the original hair in terms of texture or growth rate).
In crown hair transplant in Dubai, the surgeon performs this procedure using the FUE Hair Transplant Treatment technique.
Good Candidate for Crown Hair Transplant
Anyone who is experiencing the following situations is considered a good candidate for a crown hair transplant.
- Gradual hair thinning due to any reason
- Hair loss due to genetics, stress, or childbirth.
- Baldness after chemotherapy (if permanent).
- Anyone with a realistic approach and expectation from the treatment.
- Apart from that, a patient will also need to undergo basic blood tests to ensure he has no chronic illness.
Diagnosis
During the consultation, your surgeon will check your medical history. Moreover, he will also carry out the standard blood test to diagnose your health condition. Upon his consent, you will be given the surgery date.
Procedure
Crown hair transplant procedure is usually symbolized with FUE hair transplant. This treatment may take around 4-8 hours, depending on the number of grafts required for the procedure. The graft implantation requires special expertise due to the angular position and the unique hair growth pattern in the crown area. Upon your arrival at the clinic, you can experience the following steps.
Cleaning the donor area
The surgeon or assistant will clean the area from where the grafts will be collected. After that, he will shave it.
Applying anesthesia
After that, the surgeon will apply local anesthesia so that you feel comfortable during the procedure.
Grafts extraction
Grafts will be extracted from the donor area by using a micro-punching tool.
Preparation of grafts
The collected grafts will be then prepared for insertion in the desired area.
Making tiny holes
In the crown area, the surgeon will make tiny holes by using a surgical needle.
Grafts implantation
Now, the prepared grafts will be implanted one by one into the tiny holes in the crown.
When to expect hair transplant results?
In the first 2-8 weeks, the hair transplanted into the crown area will fall out (not all), which is normal. In the next 6-9 months, some patients can see newly grown hair in the crown area. While for others, it can take up to 12 months to see the final results.
Post-procedure care
As crown hair transplant is a less-invasive procedure, still it requires proper care. For the best possible results, you need to consider the following guidelines:
- Consult with your doctor about when to resume blood-thinning medications post-surgery.
- It’s advisable to avoid direct water pressure on the transplanted area for 48 hours after the treatment, but gentle washing under guidance may be permitted.
- After 24 hours of the surgery, the bandage needs to be removed.
- Itching is normal, so avoid rubbing the treated area.
- Smoking and drinking alcohol can deteriorate the recovery process, so avoid them.
- Keep the treated area clean.
- Following the medications as prescribed by your doctor.

Common Complications
