Hair transplantation planned for natural, long-term results
Personalised hair restoration at St Mary's Hair Clinic in Mosta, combining FUE graft extraction, DHI implantation and careful donor-area and hairline planning.
Each stage is planned around donor capacity, hair characteristics and the recipient area.
Redistributing donor hair with a long-term plan
Hair transplantation moves suitable follicular units from a donor region—most commonly the back and sides of the scalp—to areas affected by thinning or hair loss.
The aim is not simply to move the highest possible number of grafts. The donor area is a limited resource, so the treatment should balance coverage today with how your hair loss may progress in future.
A transplant should fit your long-term hair-loss pattern
Suitability depends on the cause and stability of hair loss, donor supply, expectations and whether surgery can produce a sensible long-term result.
Pattern hair loss
Many patients seek transplantation for androgenetic hair loss affecting the hairline, frontal scalp, mid-scalp or crown.
Adequate donor area
The donor region must contain enough suitable hair to support the proposed treatment while preserving a natural appearance.
Realistic expectations
Density is limited by donor availability, scalp characteristics and the size of the area being treated.
Appropriate timing
In some cases it is more responsible to stabilise or monitor hair loss before considering surgery.
The plan starts before the procedure
A consultation should answer more than “how many grafts?”. It should establish why you are losing hair, what can realistically be achieved and how to use your donor area responsibly.
Progression, family history, treatment, medications and relevant health information.
Hairline, frontal scalp, mid-scalp and crown are assessed according to your pattern and goals.
Density, calibre and donor limitations influence what can be harvested responsibly.
If surgery is appropriate, technique, likely graft range, recovery and price can be discussed.
The result depends on much more than graft count
A natural transplant balances where grafts come from, where they are placed and how the design will age with you.
Preserve the donor area
Extraction is distributed carefully so the donor region continues to look natural after healing.
Design for your face
Hairline height and shape are considered alongside facial proportions and age.
Angle and direction
Grafts should follow the orientation of surrounding hair so the transplant blends naturally.
Prioritise coverage
When donor supply is limited, visually important areas may be prioritised rather than spreading grafts too thinly.
Plan for future loss
Existing non-transplanted hair may continue to thin, so today's design should remain sensible if your pattern progresses.
Use grafts strategically
Follicular units are distributed according to the area being reconstructed and desired visual effect.
FUE extraction + DHI implantation
FUE and DHI describe different stages of the same procedure. FUE is the extraction method; DHI is the implantation approach.
FUE
Follicular units are harvested individually from the donor region without a linear strip incision.

Selected grafts are implanted directly with attention to depth, angle, direction and distribution.

Exact timings depend on the graft requirement and treatment plan. Your individual schedule is provided beforehand.
Arrival
Check in and complete final preparation.
Final review
Confirm the treatment plan and final checks.
Hairline design
Review and agree the recipient area.
FUE extraction
Follicular units are harvested from the donor area.
DHI implantation
Selected grafts are placed according to the plan.
Aftercare
Leave with washing, medication and follow-up instructions.
See how planning translates into real outcomes
Every case differs in donor capacity, hair characteristics, graft number and treatment area.
Healing happens first. Growth develops gradually.
Your own aftercare plan should always take priority over general timelines.
Protect the grafts
Follow sleeping, washing, medication and graft-protection instructions carefully.
Early settling
Crusting and redness usually settle; transplanted hairs may shed.
Resting phase
Visible change may be limited while follicles transition through their cycle.
Early growth
New growth often becomes increasingly noticeable although still immature.
Maturation
Density, texture and appearance continue developing toward the longer-term result.
Why there is no single graft number or one-size-fits-all price
The number of grafts required depends on the treatment area, desired coverage, donor capacity, hair characteristics and your longer-term plan.
A small frontal correction requires a different plan from frontal, mid-scalp and crown restoration.
The donor region determines how many suitable follicular units can be harvested responsibly.
Calibre, curl and colour contrast affect the visual coverage achieved.
Preserving donor hair for possible future progression may matter more than maximising one session.
Choose the pathway that matches where you live
Consultation, travel and follow-up are organised differently for local and international patients.
Local Patients
Start with an in-clinic assessment in Mosta and benefit from easy access to the clinic throughout consultation, treatment and follow-up.
Explore the Local Patient Journey →International Patients
Begin with an online consultation, receive travel guidance and continue follow-up remotely after returning home.
Explore the International Patient Journey →Personal planning—not a standard package
Hair transplantation is most effective when the procedure is designed around the individual rather than a template. Our team considers donor limitations, the current pattern of hair loss and how the result should continue to look over time.
