General

How much does a hair transplant cost?

The price depends on the number of grafts you need and the treatment. After reviewing your photos, Dr. Nurul sends you a personal price range within 24 hours. FUE packages start at IDR 27 million for 2,000 grafts.

Does it hurt?

The treatment is done under local anaesthesia. Many patients watch a film or sleep during the procedure.

When will I see the result?

Transplanted hair first falls out in month 1, which is normal. New growth starts around month 3 to 4, density builds up around month 8, and the final result is assessed after about 12 to 15 months. Results vary from person to person.

Do I have to travel to Jakarta or abroad?

No. Dr. Nurul treats you in Bali. The first assessment and the video call happen online, so you only travel for your treatment day.

Am I a suitable candidate?

That depends on your donor hair, age and type of hair loss. Send your photos for a free assessment. If a transplant is not the right step yet, Dr. Nurul will tell you honestly.

FUE hair transplant

What is a graft?

A graft is a natural group of one to four hairs taken with its root. The number of grafts you need depends on the area to be covered and the density you want.

How many grafts will I get?

Not the number but the survival of the grafts decides the result. Dr. Nurul plans a hairline that still looks natural in 20 years and protects your donor area for the future. Your graft estimate is part of your free assessment.

How long does the treatment take?

A FUE treatment takes about 6 to 8 hours in one day, from the final consultation in the morning to the aftercare briefing in the afternoon. You go back to your accommodation the same day.

When can I go back to work?

Most patients can go back to work after a few days. The treated area heals within about 2 to 4 weeks. For one month avoid direct sun, heavy sweating, swimming, sauna and sport.

Who performs the treatment?

Dr. Nurul plans your hairline with you and leads your treatment. You have a direct WhatsApp line to her for questions afterwards.

Hair loss in women

Why am I losing hair?

Common causes are hormones, iron deficiency, thyroid problems and genetics. That is why diagnosis comes before any treatment.

Do I need a hair transplant?

Not necessarily. In early stages, PRP and other treatments can help. A transplant only makes sense if the cause is clear and your donor hair is suitable.

Do I have to shave my head?

If a transplant makes sense for you, it can often be done without shaving the whole head.

Can I talk to a female doctor?

Yes. Dr. Nurul is a female doctor for hair transplant surgery and talks to you personally, from the first video call to aftercare.

When will I see results?

This depends on the treatment. After a transplant, new growth starts around month 3 to 4 and the final result is assessed after about 12 to 15 months. Results vary from person to person.

Beard & eyebrow transplant

Where do the hairs come from?

Usually from the back of the head. Dr. Nurul selects single hairs that match your beard or eyebrows as closely as possible.

Will it look natural?

That depends on careful planning of the shape and on the angle of every single hair. Dr. Nurul draws the shape with you before the treatment.

Do I have to trim transplanted eyebrows?

Yes. Hair taken from the scalp keeps growing longer than normal eyebrow hair, so it needs regular trimming.

When can I shave again?

You can trim or shave a transplanted beard again after one month. Light make-up on the eyebrows is usually possible after about one month as well.

PRP & exosome therapy

Does PRP work for everyone?

No. PRP works best in early stages of hair loss. Dr. Nurul tells you honestly whether you are likely to benefit.

Is PRP painful?

A local anaesthetic cream is applied before the injections. A session takes about 45 minutes.

How many sessions do I need?

PRP is usually done as a series of sessions. The exact number depends on your hair loss. After a hair transplant, Dr. Nurul usually recommends 6 sessions, once a month during the first 6 months.

Can PRP be combined with a hair transplant?

Yes, if Dr. Nurul recommends it for your situation.

What is the evidence for exosome therapy?

Exosome therapy is a newer treatment and the scientific evidence is still developing. Dr. Nurul explains what is known and whether it is an option for you.

International patients

How long should I stay in Bali?

Plan three days with Dr. Nurul: consultation, treatment day and hair wash day. Ideally stay in Bali for at least 3 to 4 days after the treatment.

Can I combine treatment with a holiday?

Yes, many patients do. During healing you should avoid some activities, for example swimming and strong sun. Dr. Nurul tells you exactly what to avoid and for how long.

How does aftercare work when I am home?

You stay in touch with Dr. Nurul by video call and WhatsApp and send her photos of your progress.

Do I need a visa?

This depends on your nationality. Please check the current visa and entry rules for your country before you book.

How do I pay?

By bank transfer, cash, card or cryptocurrency. Prices are in Indonesian rupiah (IDR).
