What is Hair transplant and what is it used for?

Hair transplant is a treatment related to hair growth. Hi-Doctor does not prescribe it today, but our licensed doctors can review your case and propose hair growth alternatives with robust clinical evidence and EU regulatory approval.

Why does Hi-Doctor not prescribe Hair transplant?

Our doctors only prescribe treatments with robust clinical evidence, an EU-approved indication and a reviewed safety profile. Hair transplant is not on that list today — it may be investigational, not approved, or outside the scope of what we handle via telemedicine.

What alternatives can I consider within hair growth?

Our doctors review your history and propose the most appropriate treatment among those authorised in the EU for hair growth. The plan is €25/month for weight loss or €15/month (billed €45 every 90 days) for hair growth; sexual health remains a €35 one-off consultation. If your case is not eligible, the applicable fee is refunded.

How would my hair growth consultation work?

You fill in an online medical questionnaire (~4 min). An EU-licensed doctor reviews it and replies in less than 4 hours on average via the private chat in your account. If eligible, they issue a prescription electronic prescription valid in any EU pharmacy.

Can I get a consultation for Hair transplant from Vantaa?

Yes. Hi-Doctor runs 100 % online across the EU, so if you live in Vantaa you can fill in the questionnaire and receive the medical review without travelling. The electronic prescription issued by the licensed doctor is valid in any EU pharmacy under Directive 2011/24/EU; outside Spain, the pharmacist dispenses the locally marketed equivalent of the same active ingredient.

How does a doctor evaluate a hair-loss case in an online consultation?

Through the pattern of loss, how long it has been progressing, family history and current medication. In some cases we ask for scalp photos. The doctor proposes a tailored treatment plan and adjusts it to your tolerance.

What is the private electronic prescription and why is it valid across the EU?

The private electronic prescription (Receta Médica Privada Electrónica) is issued by a licensed doctor in Spain. It is a PDF carrying every field required by EU Directive 2011/24/EU (patient, prescriber with country of registration, active ingredient, dose), which makes it legally recognised across all 27 EU member states. In Spanish pharmacies it is dispensed from the QR; outside Spain, the pharmacist dispenses the locally marketed equivalent of the same active ingredient.

How does Hi-Doctor work step by step?

1) Fill in an online medical questionnaire in about 4 minutes. 2) The plan is €25/month for weight loss or €15/month (billed €45 every 90 days) for hair growth; sexual health is €35 per consultation and a skin consultation is €40. 3) An EU-licensed doctor reviews your case and, if appropriate, issues an electronic prescription. 4) Collect it at any EU pharmacy. If the review is not approved, the applicable fee is refunded in full.

How much does it cost and what does the price include?

The plan is €25/month for weight loss or €15/month (billed €45 every 90 days) for hair growth; a one-off sexual-health consultation is €35 and a skin consultation — acne, rosacea, melasma, ageing skin — is €40. Each includes a licensed doctor's review and an electronic prescription if approved. If the review is not approved, the applicable fee is refunded in full. Medication is paid for separately at the pharmacy at the price it sets.

IN PLAIN TERMS

What Hair transplant is, and how to get treatment

A hair transplant is surgery, not a medicine. It is done in a clinic, usually under local anaesthetic and over several hours, and a surgeon moves individual hair follicles from the back or sides of your head into the thinning areas. Because it is an operation, no doctor can prescribe it and it cannot be arranged through an online consultation - you would need an in-person assessment with a surgeon. It also does not stop the underlying pattern hair loss, so hair in the untreated areas can keep thinning and doctors often advise continuing medical treatment alongside it. Hi-Doctor does not perform or arrange hair transplants.

Hair transplant has no EU marketing authorisation for this use. It may be an approved medicine for something else, or approved in another country — but not something a doctor here can prescribe for this.

Can I get it?

Not for this use. Hair transplant has no EU authorisation for it, so it cannot be prescribed or dispensed here for that purpose.

Why buying it online is risky

What can I take instead?

Finasteride is approved in the EU, has published peer-reviewed trial results, and can be prescribed today if a doctor decides it suits you.

VERIFIED EVIDENCE

WHAT IT IS

How it works

A surgeon takes hair follicles from the back or sides of the head, where hair tends to be less affected by pattern hair loss, and places them one by one into the thinning areas, where they keep the characteristics of the area they came from.

NAMED SAFETY SIGNALS

What has been reported with Hair transplant.

Overall complication rate

A 2025 scoping review of 43 publications on modern hair transplantation reported overall complication rates of 1.2% and 4.7% in two large case series (Liu et al., Aesthetic Plast Surg 2025).

Swelling and crusting after surgery

In the same review, frontal swelling was reported in up to 50% of patients, crusting in up to 54.8% and sterile folliculitis in up to 53.3%.

Scarring at the donor site

Hypertrophic scarring or keloid formation after strip harvesting (FUT) was reported in up to 15.1% of patients in the same review.

Numbness

Persistent numbness was reported in up to 11% of patients in the same review; a 2026 review of follicular unit excision puts long-term sensory disturbance at around 2%.

Infection

Infection was reported in up to 11% of patients across the publications in the 2025 review, including rare severe infections; the 2026 follicular unit excision review reports an incidence under 1%.

Bleeding

Bleeding requiring intervention was reported in up to 8% of patients in the 2025 review.

Hair loss carries on afterwards

Surgery moves existing follicles but does not stop the underlying process; a 2026 review notes that alopecia may continue to evolve and that further procedures or ongoing medical treatment may be needed.

UNAPPROVED PRODUCTS ONLINE

Why buying Hair transplant online is not a shortcut.

No doctor in the EU can prescribe it for this use — including ours. It may be authorised in another country, or for a different condition.

Check the EU common logo

A legitimate online pharmacy in the EU must display the common logo linked to its national register. The logo is a verification check; it cannot make an unapproved medicine legal.
