Hair loss affects millions of people worldwide—including here in Kenya. For many, it starts as thinning or receding at the hairline.
For others, it progresses to bald patches that change how they see themselves in the mirror.
At AJ Plastic Surgery Centre, we understand the emotional impact of hair loss, which is why we offer advanced hair transplant in Kenya to restore not just hair, but confidence.
Whether you’re experiencing male pattern baldness, thinning edges, or patchy spots from traction alopecia, a personalised transplant solution may be exactly what you need.
What is a hair transplant?
A hair transplant is a minor surgical procedure that moves healthy hair follicles from a donor area—usually the back or sides of your scalp—to a thinning or balding area.
Once implanted, these follicles continue to grow naturally for a lifetime.
At AJ Plastic Surgery Centre, we perform both major techniques:
- FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) – A thin strip of scalp is removed and individual hair follicles are harvested for transplant.
- FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) – Hair follicles are individually removed and transplanted without removing a strip of scalp. This technique leaves minimal scarring and has a faster recovery.
During your consultation, we’ll recommend the best method based on your goals, hair type, and available donor area.
Who is a good candidate?
You may be a strong candidate for a hair transplant if you:
- Have male or female pattern baldness
- Experience traction alopecia from tight hairstyles or weaves
- Have hair loss due to injury or scarring
- Want to restore beard, eyebrow, or scalp density
- Are in good health with realistic expectations
- Have adequate donor hair to work with
Both men and women can benefit. The key is understanding your hair loss pattern, donor area strength, and long-term goals.
We also offer options for combining a transplant with non-surgical treatments to boost results over time.
How the procedure works
A hair transplant is performed under local anaesthesia, so you’ll be awake but completely comfortable.
Here’s what to expect:
- Consultation and design: We map your hairline or thinning area, based on natural flow and your facial features.
- Donor hair harvest: Depending on the method (FUE or FUT), we remove follicles from a dense area of your scalp.
- Graft preparation: Hair follicles are trimmed and sorted under magnification to ensure quality and survival.
- Implantation: Each follicle is carefully placed in the thinning or bald area using specialised tools for a natural look and growth direction.
The process can take between 4 and 8 hours depending on the number of grafts. You’ll be able to go home the same day.
Recovery and results
Recovery is typically mild. There may be slight swelling or scabbing for the first few days, but most patients return to work within 3–5 days.
New hair begins to grow within 3–4 months, and full results can be seen by 9–12 months.
The transplanted hair grows, trims, and styles just like your natural hair—because it is your natural hair.
We provide full post-procedure care instructions and follow-up to ensure you’re healing well and seeing expected progress.
Is it permanent?
Yes. The transplanted hair is genetically resistant to balding, which means the results are permanent and long-lasting.
You can cut, shave, dye, or style the new hair as you would your existing strands.
However, hair loss in other areas may continue, which is why we also offer supportive treatments and personalised advice to help maintain overall scalp health.
