Hair transplant without shaving your head!
Finally! Have you thought about whether hair transplant is something for you but you've been tempted to shave your head? We now do most hair transplants without having to shave everything off, on the contrary, we want the hair to remain! But Neograft We gently remove hair follicles from the back of the head one by one and then place them where you want them, one by one. Sure, it takes a little time, but we know that it is more appreciated by our patients.
In the back of the head where we pick out the hair follicles to be moved, we often want mm-short hair in an area whose size varies based on the amount of hair follicles to be moved. Sometimes we recommend that you cut yourself in a “fade” hairstyle to make it as discreet as possible. Where the hair follicles are to be inserted, usually in the front of the hairline or temples/folds, the hair can remain.
How can it be so different? Many people travel to Turkey to make the procedure cheaper and in many places they have "conveyor belt technology". Sometimes even several patients lie on beds in the same room and the hair follicles are removed as quickly as possible. This often means that unnecessarily many hair follicles are removed because many are damaged and become unusable. Since many patients later in life have a "filling", it is of course completely insane to destroy hair follicles for no good. Maybe you need them later!
As the first clinic in Sweden, we use Neograft to gently pick out the hair follicles we are going to move, we don't take more than we need! There is a limited number of hair follicles and we are careful about them!
Welcome to dermatologist Malin Claudelin to hear more about whether hair transplantation is something for you!

Hair transplant in Gothenburg or abroad?
Hair transplants is a rapidly growing field and the method has improved considerably in recent years. With the technological advances that have been made, the results are now really good. The long scars at the back of the head or small tufts of hair that looked like a doll's are a thing of the past!
Hair transplantation has been done for a long time, but the technique has been improved and refined. The modern FUE technique (Follicular Unit Extraction) involves moving individual hair follicles from the back of the head to the empty areas at the crown and hairline. The first transplant for so-called "male pattern baldness" was performed in New York in the 50s.
The pattern of typical male pattern baldness is that the forehead becomes higher, the folds at the temples become deeper and at the same time or later the hair on the top of the head falls out.
What is very exciting is that the hair follicles on the back of the head usually last a lifetime, even if we move them! This is the basic requirement for hair transplant.
Hair transplants are time-consuming and many are attracted by cheap prices in places like Turkey. Within the industry, it is noticeable that more and more people are coming with substandard results and sad experiences after having their treatment there. Of course, there are also good clinics with doctors who are skilled, but unfortunately that does not always seem to be the case. We have heard some really sad stories and would like to raise a warning finger for all types of medical tourism. Not least for the high percentage of resistant bacteria that are found in large parts of southern Europe and that we here at home are relatively spared from. Being able to see your doctor both before and after a procedure should also be a given.
With us you always meet a dermatologist at least once, often twice before a transplant, then you go through the conditions and expectations. For a transplant to be successful in the long term, you must choose the right time. There may also be alternative treatments such as prescription medications that can be a first step in treating hair loss or complement a transplant.
A leading country when it comes to hair transplants is the USA, where the procedure is usually performed by a dermatologist or plastic surgeon who has both medical knowledge of skin and hair and is used to working with aesthetics. In recent years, Neograft has become an immensely popular tool in the United States. Neograft is used to extract hair follicles gently and with high precision, which results in high quality hair follicles that are to be moved. This in turn increases the percentage of hair follicles that attach and heal in the new location.
Now we are going to Elite Clinic introduce Neograft in Sweden and is therefore looking for suitable candidates to undergo treatment at a reduced price. Are you interested? If so, please email to malin.claudelin@eliteclinic.se and please attach a photo from the front and top and how long you have had hair loss.
If you would rather come for a consultation and hear more about hair transplantation, you are most welcome to see dermatologist Dr. Malin Claudelin.

Seborrheic keratosis – age spots
Dear child has many names! 🙂
It is very exciting that we can now also offer dermatologist with us at Elite Clinic. In our everyday lives as plastic surgeons we see patients with many different issues but what is common to basically all of them is that we look at the body or face and of course also at the skin. It is not too rare that we have to recommend that you look a little extra at certain pigment changes. You could almost go so far as to say that everyone needs to see a dermatologist at some point in their life! If not for congenital skin spots then for those that come with time. Unfortunately, it is not always so easy to get to a dermatologist in public healthcare and to get a referral you first need to go to your health center (not always so easy either)…
You can now come to us as a private patient and get help with most skin problems. Both women and men experience skin changes with age, both benign changes that are more of a cosmetic concern but also sun damage and skin tumors that should be treated.
Do you need help with acne, rocasea, warts, fibromas, small vessels, pigment changes or those slightly rough brown spots that tend to come with age? They are the ones with the charming names in the title!
We offer both aesthetic and medical treatments and our dermatologists work closely with skin therapists and plastic surgeons. Our dermatologists are experienced and can assess spots, blemishes, eczema, rashes, vessels, redness, pigment changes and much more. Treatment with laser, freezing and surgery or write prescriptions for medications that may be needed.
Welcome to Malin Claudelin and MariHelen Sandström Falk!

November may not be the most fun month of the year, it's a bit between autumn and winter. It's starting to get dark but Christmas lights and winter fun haven't really started yet. Plus, it's easy to get discouraged when you read the news too, concerns about war, climate and electricity bills. But there are certainly bright spots!
We who work with health and beauty know that in slightly worse times, most people care even more about themselves. It is perhaps not so strange that in more difficult times, people shrink their circles a little and look after themselves and those closest to them. You concentrate on your self, perhaps because it feels safe and your body and well-being are something we carry with us every day regardless of what is happening around us.
Many people find that the dark months of the year that are coming up are perfect for getting that surgery you've been thinking about for so long! It's a little easier to sneak in with a girdle after abdominoplasty or other compression garment under your winter wardrobe. Even though summer is a long way off, we know it will come again, and then you want to feel comfortable in dresses, shorts and bikinis!
The dark months are also the absolute best when it comes to making a stronger skin treatment, as well as skin peelings that laser treatments. If you are interested in taking care of yourself a little, come visit us!
