Hair Transplant Simulator
See hairline density and shape rendered on your own face. One photo, one render — before you sit in a consultation room deciding from a verbal description.
Hair Transplant before and after — a simulated example
This is the same model that will run on your photo, applied to someone else's. It is here so you can see what the output looks like before spending anything — the framing, the level of change, and how much of the rest of the face it leaves alone.
Before
After — simulatedWhat a hair transplant actually does
Follicles are moved from the back and sides of the scalp — where hair is not affected by the hormonal process behind pattern loss — to the thinning area. FUE takes individual follicular units; FUT takes a strip and closes it.
Which measurement points to a hair transplant
Hairline position is what the facial thirds calculator upper band depends on, which is why that page tells you not to trust it. A recession that has changed your thirds is the same fact seen from the measurement side.
How long a hair transplant lasts, and what it costs
How long it lasts
Transplanted follicles are permanent, but the surrounding native hair keeps thinning, which is why medical treatment usually continues alongside.
Typical cost
Roughly $4,000–$15,000 in the United States depending on graft count; substantially less where medical tourism concentrates.
These are ranges commonly quoted in the United States, collected for orientation. They are not a quote and not a recommendation — price varies with surgeon, city, technique and what else is done at the same time, and the cheapest option in a medical procedure is rarely the relevant number.
What people get wrong about a hair transplant
That one procedure finishes the job. Transplanted follicles are permanent, but the native hair around them keeps thinning, so a result that looks complete at a year can look patchy later without medical treatment alongside.
How to read hair transplant before and after photos
Lighting and hair length do most of the work in transplant comparisons. Ask for the same lighting, the same length, and photographs at twelve months rather than at six.
Hair Transplant recovery — what is typically reported
Crusting for about a week, transplanted hairs shed at two to four weeks, and regrowth begins around three to four months with density at a year.
Recovery varies with technique, extent and the individual. This is a summary of what is commonly reported, not what will happen to you, and your surgeon's figures are the ones that apply.
Three questions to ask before a hair transplant
A render is most useful as something to take into a consultation. These are the questions specific to this procedure that are worth asking while you are there.
- 1What is my likely long-term loss pattern, and does this plan account for it?
- 2How many grafts, and what is my total donor capacity?
- 3Should I be on medical treatment alongside, and what happens if I stop?
What this hair transplant simulation cannot show
The render adds density in a photograph. It cannot model graft survival, donor supply, or — most importantly — what your loss will do next, which is the factor that decides whether one procedure is enough.
Alternatives to a hair transplant
How the hair transplant simulation works
Your photo is analysed for the landmarks that matter to this procedure, and the render changes hairline density and shape while leaving the rest of your face alone. That constraint is the hard part — a generic image model will happily redraw your whole face and hand you a stranger who looks better.
What a simulation is, and what it is not
It is an illustration of a plausible direction. It is not a prediction of your result, not a medical opinion, and not a substitute for a consultation. Your anatomy, your surgeon's technique and how you heal decide the actual outcome, and none of those are visible in a photograph.
What it is genuinely good for: finding out whether you even want the change. A large share of people who render one discover the difference is smaller than they had been imagining, and stop there. That is a useful outcome.
Start from a measurement, not a guess
The free analysis tools measure symmetry, facial proportion and face shape, and tell you which measurements sit outside the reference range. Choosing a procedure from that is a much better starting point than choosing one from a photo you saved.
Hair Transplant simulator — frequently asked questions
Will one transplant be enough?
Often not on its own, because native hair keeps thinning around the grafts. Surgeons plan for progression, and this is the main reason for a second procedure later.
FUE or FUT?
FUE avoids a linear scar and allows shorter haircuts; FUT can yield more grafts in a session and leaves a strip scar. Donor density and the size of the area drive the choice.
When do results show?
Transplanted hairs shed first and regrow — visible density usually starts around three to four months with the result at a year or more.
Is the hair transplant simulator free?
The face analysis is free and needs no account. A rendered simulation costs credits because it runs on a GPU — $4.99 buys five and does not require a subscription.
How accurate is an AI hair transplant simulation?
It is an illustration of a plausible outcome, not a prediction of your result. Real outcomes depend on your anatomy, the surgeon and healing. Treat it as a conversation starter for a consultation, not a promise.
Do you keep my photo?
The free measurements never leave your browser. A simulation does send the photo to a rendering service, which is why it asks for explicit consent first, and you can delete the result from your dashboard at any time.
Can I show this to a surgeon?
Yes, and that is the most useful thing to do with it. Bringing a picture of the direction you want is far more precise than describing it in words.
This page is not medical advice and we are not clinicians. A simulation cannot tell you whether a procedure is appropriate for you, what it costs, or what the risks are. Those questions belong with a qualified surgeon.
