We stand behind our work. Zeeva Clinic offers a satisfaction guarantee. If grafts do not grow as expected (extremely rare with our technique), we provide a complimentary touch-up session. Realistic expectations are discussed thoroughly during your consultation.

Transplanted hair initially sheds (this is normal) at weeks 2-4. New growth begins around month 3-4. Significant improvement is visible by month 6-8. Full, final results are seen at 12-14 months post-procedure.
You receive a complete aftercare kit including: prescribed medications (antibiotics, anti-inflammatory, minoxidil), a specialised shampoo, a neck pillow for sleeping, a protective cap, and detailed written and video instructions.
Of course. We can provide a detailed report for your local dermatologist or GP if you prefer in-person follow-ups. However, our video follow-ups are designed to be comprehensive and convenient for international patients.
