Oxidised Zirconium is a metal alloy consisting of 97.5% Zirconium and 2.5% Niobium,

two of the most biocompatible metals known to man. The implant is put through a

process involving extreme heat and oxygenation that allows oxygen to absorb into

the zirconium metal. When the surface of the metal is saturated with oxygen, it

transforms from a metal to a ceramic. The ceramic is an enhanced surface that is

small and less invasive than past procedures. This results in more rapid healing. Most

patients feel fine within a day or two following surgery, although some numbness and

Normally it takes between three to five months before the transplanted hair follicles

begin to grow new hair. The transplanted hair grows in very thin initially and gradually

grows thicker and fuller over time. After one year a patient’s transplanted hair will be

fully mature and will continue to grow for a life time.

Since the hair follicles that are transplanted to the balding areas are genetically

resistant to going bald, they will continue to grow for a life time – just as if they had

your new hair will be for the rest of your life.
