Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the Meva Clinic experience.
Sapphire FUE utilizes ultra-sharp V-shaped sapphire gemstone blades instead of rectangular steel slits. This geometry allows for smaller micro-incisions (0.8 mm to 1.4 mm), minimizing tissue trauma, reducing scabbing, and enabling denser, more natural hairline placement. Learn more about Sapphire FUE.
Transplanted follicles shed around weeks 3 to 6 in a natural phase called shock loss. Regrowth begins around month 3 to 4, with substantial density visible by month 6 to 9, and final maturation reached between months 12 and 18. Compare DHI and FUE techniques.
Meva Clinic provides a Lifetime Graft Growth Assurance on successfully transplanted and retained grafts, provided post-operative care instructions and medical aftercare guidelines are adhered to during the recovery period. Explore our hair treatments.
Gastric Sleeve (Sleeve Gastrectomy) is a restrictive procedure removing approximately 75-80% of the stomach, significantly reducing the hunger hormone ghrelin. Gastric Bypass (Roux-en-Y) combines restriction with malabsorption by creating a small stomach pouch and rerouting a section of the small intestine. Learn more about Gastric Bypass.
