Transgender Hair Transplant in Washington, D.C.

Transgender Hair Transplant at the Scandinavian Hair Institute

For patients seeking gender-affirming care during a male-to-female or female-to-male transition, hair can be an important consideration.

What are the benefits of Transgender Hair Transplant?

A hair transplant can help to boost your confidence and self-esteem. Many people feel more comfortable and confident with a full head of hair or with facial hair. For those in transition, it can also help to alleviate feelings of dysphoria and make the process smoother overall. The procedure is minimally invasive. And unlike other methods of hair restoration, hair transplant lets you choose your own hairline and shape your results around your aesthetic vision. For our patients in Washington, D.C. Transgender Hair Transplant can be a powerful tool in achieving your desired appearance, feeling more comfortable in your own skin, and improving your overall quality of life.

Your Transgender Hair Transplant Procedure

During the Transgender Hair Transplant procedure, hair grafts are taken from the donor area, typically the back of the head, and transplanted to the recipient area. Your hairline, crown, or facial hair can be adjusted to match your desired aesthetic and gender expression. We may use one of two methods: Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) or Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT). In FUE, donor hairs are extracted individually—this procedure takes longer but results in less scarring. In FUT, the donor follicles are taken in a strip and then separated prior to transplantation. FUT can leave a small scar at the donor site, but this is generally not a deterring factor for patients with longer hairstyles.

The details of your individual procedure will be planned at your pre-operative consultation to ensure we can provide results you are highly satisfied with.

Transgender Hair Transplant Results

In the weeks and months following the Transgender Hair Transplant procedure, you can expect to see gradual and natural-looking hair growth in the treated areas. It's important to note that the final results of the procedure may take several months to become fully apparent and that following the post-operative instructions provided by your surgeon can help ensure optimal results.

Transgender Hair Transplant Recovery and Aftercare

We will continue to support your recovery after you return home to the United States. You will be able to resume light to moderate activity levels within a week or so and can resume more strenuous activities in about three weeks. It will take several months for your newly transplanted follicles to establish themselves and begin growing. Our patients typically see full, natural hair growth in nine to fourteen months. This hair is yours to keep. Although all of the hair on your body is subject to changes like thinning due to the aging process, the results of a hair transplant are considered permanent because they can last a lifetime.
