❓ FAQ:
Which techniques does ProHAIR offer?
The clinic performs FUE, FUT and NLHT, a variant of FUE that it presents as its own technique. It does not publish package prices: the quote (care, follow-up, accommodation) must be confirmed with the clinic.
Is the transplant painful?
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia. The clinic claims no pain during or after treatment and a return to work the next day. After-effects vary from patient to patient.
When will I see the result?
The clinic does not publish regrowth rates. After a transplant, transplanted hair generally regrows over several months and the result is assessed at around 12 months.
Do I need to shave my head?
For FUE, the clinic shaves the donor area to about 2 mm. NLHT is presented as a more discreet technique: ask the doctor if it suits your case.
How to organise the trip from the UK?
Budapest is served by direct flights from several UK cities. UK citizens need a valid passport and possibly a visa or ETIAS authorisation. The clinic does not advertise transfers or included accommodation: to be confirmed when requesting a quote.
