Month 0 – starting point
The parting has widened noticeably and the scalp shows through. Consultation, planning and the procedure – for women using DHI without shaving.
Before – After
What you can expect, and when. Shown honestly.
Whether it's the parting, the crown, beard or eyebrows: a transplant isn't a before-and-after snapshot – it's months of development. Here you can see how that time typically unfolds, shown as schematic illustrations and labelled honestly. We'll show you real, documented patient progressions at your personal consultation: our patients' privacy and German medical advertising law matter more to us than glossy promotional photos.
Women · Parting density without shaving
The progression for women: from a thinning parting to full density.

Months 2–4 – the patience phase
The first fine hairs begin to grow along the parting. Your hairstyle stays perfectly presentable for everyday life throughout.

Months 5–8 – visible progress
The parting closes up steadily, and the hair gains noticeable fullness and body.

Month 12 – the result
A dense parting with no scalp showing through – the result is documented in full at this point.

The progression for men: month 0 to 12.

Month 0 – starting point
Thinning on top, with the bald spot at the crown clearly visible. This is when consultation, planning and the procedure take place.

Months 2–4 – the patience phase
After the normal shock loss, the first fine hairs begin to grow – this is when follow-up checks are worth their weight in gold.

Months 5–8 – visible progress
The transplanted hairs gain density and length, and the top of the head fills in steadily.

Month 12 – the result
Full density, a natural whorl, a seamless transition – the result is now documented in full.
Beard transplant
From patchy beard growth to an even beard.
Schematic illustration – not a real patient photo
Starting point
Patchy, uneven beard growth on the cheeks and chin – the most common starting situation before a beard transplant.

After 6–9 months
An evenly dense beard with a natural growth direction. Beard results show sooner than results on the scalp.
Eyebrow transplant
New eyebrows: finely planned, naturally grown.
Schematic illustration – not a real patient photo
Starting point
Thin, patchy eyebrows – often after years of plucking, or simply by nature. Individually placed follicles rebuild the shape.

After 4–6 months
A full, naturally shaped brow with a fine growth direction – planned individually to suit your face.
Every progression is individual – the donor area, hair structure and aftercare all play a part. That's why we document every patient with photos taken in exactly the same light and from the same angle.
Real progressions? We'll show you in person.
At your free consultation you'll see documented results from patients whose starting point was similar to yours – unretouched, with timestamps. And what others say about us is public on Google: 5.0 stars at our Cologne location.
Good to know
Questions about results and images.
Why don't you show real before-and-after photos of patients online?
For two reasons. First, it protects our patients' privacy – nobody wants their hair loss to be findable on the internet. Second, German law on the advertising of medical treatments (Heilmittelwerbegesetz) places strict limits on promotional before-and-after imagery for surgical procedures. Reputable practices respect that. Instead, at your personal consultation we show you real, fully documented patient progressions.
Are the images on this page real patients?
No – and every image says so. They are schematic illustrations showing the typical progression: along the parting for women, at the crown for men, plus beard and eyebrows. You can see real, unedited progress documentation at our clinic in person.
How does the progression differ between women and men?
The timeline is similar – shock loss, growth starting from month 3–4, final result after around 12 months. The difference lies in the pattern: for women it is usually about adding density along the parting (using DHI without shaving), for men it is typically the crown and receding hairline.
How long does it take for beard and eyebrows?
Somewhat less time than on the scalp: with a beard the result usually shows after 6 to 9 months, with eyebrows often after just 4 to 6 months. Good to know: transplanted eyebrow hairs keep growing like scalp hair and need regular trimming at first.
How can I see real results of yours?
At your free initial consultation in Cologne or Aachen – there we show you documented progressions of patients whose starting point was similar to yours. And in our Google reviews, patients describe their experiences independently of us.
How can I spot trustworthy before-and-after photos from other providers?
Same lighting, same angle, same distance, hair consistently wet or dry in both shots – and realistic timeframes (a final result on the scalp is simply not possible in under nine months). Be sceptical of studio lighting only in the after photo and of results supposedly achieved after eight weeks.
