Oxidised Zirconium is a metal alloy consisting of 97.5% Zirconium and 2.5% Niobium,
two of the most biocompatible metals known to man. The implant is put through a
process involving extreme heat and oxygenation that allows oxygen to absorb into
the zirconium metal. When the surface of the metal is saturated with oxygen, it
transforms from a metal to a ceramic. The ceramic is an enhanced surface that is
part of the metal substrate rather than an external coating, making it very durable
With today’s very refined micro hair transplantation procedure the incisions are very
small and less invasive than past procedures. This results in more rapid healing. Most
patients feel fine within a day or two following surgery, although some numbness and
mild soreness can be expected for a few days post surgery.
8 What is the recovery/healing time?
Normally it takes between three to five months before the transplanted hair follicles
begin to grow new hair. The transplanted hair grows in very thin initially and gradually
grows thicker and fuller over time. After one year a patient’s transplanted hair will be
fully mature and will continue to grow for a life time.
When will my newly transplanted hairstart to grow?

Since the hair follicles that are transplanted to the balding areas are genetically
resistant to going bald, they will continue to grow for a life time – just as if they had
been left in the bald resistant donor area.
10 Are the results permanent?
The most important decision in restoring your hair is the physician you choose. The
credentials, qualification, talent, and experience of hair restoration physicians vary
widely, and so do the end results. Who you choose will determine how natural and full
your new hair will be for the rest of your life.
