Opening promotion – all hair transplants at CHF 3999.
What does the procedure look like?
1. Consultation
Before the procedure, we will help you choose the optimal hairline and determine the safe amount of follicles to be transplanted.
The consultation includes:
- preoperative interview,
- videodermatoscopic examination,
- determination of the safe donor area,
- drawing your new hairline.
2. Anesthesia
The procedure begins with the administration of anesthesia to the donor and recipient area.
FUE hair transplantation is:
- performed entirely under local anesthesia,
- virtually painless.
3. Harvesting of the grafts
The next stage is the collection of follicles:
- They are taken using small-diameter, trumpet-shaped punches (0.7-0.9 mm).
- This makes the donor sites almost invisible about a week after the procedure,
are taken only from a pre-marked safe donor area.
The rest of the team prepares the follicles for implantation:
- assesses and sorts them based on thickness and hair count,
- transfers them to a holding solution and cools them.
4. Recipient site creation
Using a sapphire blade, we prepare incisions for each harvested follicle.
This stage is particularly important for us in order to create a natural, aesthetically pleasing look.
5. Implantation of the grafts
In the final step, the follicles are implanted one by one into the previously prepared recipient sites (or directly in the case of the DHI method):
the follicles go into the appropriate areas depending on how many hairs they contain – the goal is to achieve the most natural look.
Success!
From now on you can enjoy your new hair – permanently!

A hair transplant is a medical procedure in which so-called follicular units, i.e. naturally occurring groups of 1 to 4 hairs, are taken from genetically strong areas (the back and sides of the head – the donor area) and transferred to bald or balding areas: the front, top and top of the head (the recipient areas), where they grow permanently.

FUE hair transplantation is an almost painless procedure – it is performed under local anesthesia from start to finish.
Some patients may experience minor pain after the anesthesia has worn off – but it is easily controlled with over-the-counter pain medications.
FUE hair transplantation leaves no linear scars.
The areas from which the follicles were taken are very small in diameter (0.7-0.9 mm) and become almost invisible after only about a week after the procedure.
Yes. The effects of FUE hair transplantation are permanent – the transplanted hair will not fall out.
If you are at least 25 years old and do not suffer from serious chronic diseases, you are most likely a good candidate for a hair transplant.
However, only a consultation with a doctor will give you complete certainty.
ZüriHair offers a free, no-obligation online consultation – we will respond within 24 hours.
The two main methods of hair transplantation, which differ in how the follicles are harvested, are:
- FUE – Follicular Unit Extraction – a newer, minimally invasive method in which hair follicles are extracted one by one directly from the scalp (back and sides of the head). Using punches with a diameter of 0.7-0.9 mm, the surgeon makes incisions around the hair follicles, allowing them to be extracted. In their place, small holes are left, which heal a few days after the procedure, leaving almost no trace.
- FUT (STRIP) – Follicular Unit Transplantation – an older method in which the surgeon cuts an elongated flap of skin along with subcutaneous tissue at the back of the head with a scalpel. The flap is then precisely sectioned under a microscope into individual follicular units.
The follicular units, regardless of how they are harvested (FUE/FUT), are then implanted in the balding areas in the same manner.
Advantages of FUE hair transplantation:
- The procedure does not leave linear scars
- It is near-painless
- Short recovery period
- It is possible to take grafts from areas such as beard, chest
Disadvantages of FUE hair transplantation:
- The procedure takes longer than a FUT (STRIP) transplant.
- It is more expensive than FUT (STRIP) transplantation
Depending on the extent of the procedure – FUE hair transplantation takes from 4 to 12 hours.
You can check the exact course of the entire procedure here.
The holes in the back of the head heal after 3-5 days after the procedure, the transplanted hair takes a little bit longer (up to 10 days).
Depending on the type of work you do, you may even be able to return to work the next day. However, most patients allocate 8-12 days for recovery.
A week after the procedure, you can return to moderate physical activity.
