Musk hair transplant: what to know

A consultation assesses the scalp, pattern of loss, hair shaft characteristics, medical history, and donor hair. Follicular units are collected and placed into planned sites to create a natural direction and hairline. It can be considered for [Male Pattern Hair Loss](/conditions/androgenetic-alopecia/), [Female Pattern Hair Loss](/conditions/female-pattern-hair-loss/), and selected cases of [Traction Alopecia](/conditions/traction-alopecia/). Active scalp disease or rapidly changing loss may need attention before surgery.

Bring a list of medicines, supplements, previous procedures, and family hair-loss history. Ask how the donor area will be protected, how grafts will be distributed, and what short-term shedding or scalp sensitivity may occur. Follow instructions about washing, smoking, exercise, sun exposure, and medicines. Results develop gradually as transplanted follicles settle and grow. Non-surgical options such as [PRP For Hair Loss](/treatments/hair-restoration/prp-hair-treatment/) or [Scalp Micropigmentation](/treatments/hair-restoration/scalp-micropigmentation/) may suit different goals.

After a procedure, contact the clinic promptly for increasing pain, spreading redness, pus, fever, heavy bleeding, or a worsening wound. Urgent help is needed for breathing difficulty, facial swelling, or a severe medication reaction. Before treatment, seek assessment if hair loss is sudden, patchy, painful, inflamed, or accompanied by scalp scaling, because the cause may require a different approach.

Ask which diagnosis explains the loss, whether the donor area is adequate, what technique and hairline design are proposed, how many sessions may be considered, and which non-surgical options can protect existing hair.
