Sarah Herløv feared she would have to be shaved completely bald for her hair transplant. But the donor area could be covered by her long hair — and eight months on, the new hair is on its way out.

My hair loss

"I chose to have a hair transplant because I was very tired of my high temples, which I had unfortunately been born with naturally."

The treatment at Pilorum

"As a woman, you might fear that you have to be shaved in order to have the hair transplant done. That has not been a problem for me in any way." Sarah had a hair transplant with 1277 grafts (3831 hairs). "The operation itself was actually really pleasant. There was music throughout, and the people operating on me sat and sang a little, and they talked with me the whole way through, so I felt I was in safe hands."

The result

"So far things are going well in my transplanted area. I can see that the hair has started to grow out, and it's picking up pace."

My recommendation

"You shouldn't be afraid that it will hurt. Pilorum makes sure you're well managed for pain."
