Did Marian Vojtko have a hair transplant? Yes, and he talked about it openly

What did Marian Vojtko say about his hair transplant?

The singer, known to Czech audiences from musicals such as The Phantom of the Opera, first spoke about it in 2014. inStory.cz quoted his reasoning: he had worn long hair since childhood, it stayed at the back but thinned at the front, and he did not want to cut it short. “I told myself that if it can be helped, why not go for a transplant.” He added: “It is quite a big procedure and above all it takes time. It is better to add density gradually.”

In June 2016 he went back for another session and talked about it openly to Super.cz: “I have a complex about my hair, I admit it. … So I fulfilled a dream and had my hair transplanted. It costs money, but I am satisfied.” He also said: “Women have their breasts done, it’s a normal thing, and this is normal too.” By then, he said, he had about 2,000 grafts, and that day around 1,000 more were being added; it was his third visit.

That is all we rely on here. Vojtko did not describe the technique in these interviews, and we do not name the clinic or guess at other details of his treatment. Where the text below explains methods and timelines, it describes hair transplantation in general.

Why his openness matters

Vojtko put it simply: thinning hair bothered him, he did something about it, and he sees it as no more unusual than the cosmetic procedures women talk about. For many men that is the most helpful message. Hair loss is extremely common, and a transplant is an ordinary medical decision that can be discussed calmly with a doctor.

His remark that it is “better to add density gradually” is also worth noting. Hair loss often continues over the years, and some patients return for a second or third session to strengthen an area or keep up with further thinning. Planning with that in mind, instead of expecting one operation to settle everything for life, leads to more realistic expectations.

How a hair transplant works today

A modern hair transplant is an outpatient operation under local anaesthesia. Follicles are taken one by one from the donor area, usually the back of the head and the temples, and implanted where hair is missing. The two main techniques are:

• FUE — grafts are extracted individually through tiny punctures and placed into channels made by the surgeon. No linear scar and no stitches.
• DHI — grafts are implanted with a special pen (Choi implanter) without pre-made channels, giving fine control over angle and direction.

A combined approach (FUE extraction with DHI implantation) is also used. Which option fits, and whether one or several sessions make sense, depends on the extent of hair loss and the donor area. That is decided at a consultation, not from a celebrity story.

Who is a good candidate

A transplant works best when the donor area at the back of the head is dense enough and the hair loss has a clear pattern. Typical reasons people consider it:

• a receding hairline or thinning temples, as Vojtko described;
• thinning at the crown or overall low density;
• patchy (focal) hair loss or hair loss after trauma or burns.

There are also contraindications, including age under 18, trichotillomania, body dysmorphic disorder, severe heart disease, diabetes mellitus, epilepsy and intolerance to anaesthetics. The surgeon checks these before any date is booked.

What results look like over time

The final picture takes time. Transplanted hairs usually shed in the first weeks — that is normal, the follicles stay in place — and new growth starts after a few months. The final result is judged at 12–18 months, and only then does it make sense to decide whether a further session is needed. The timeline below shows the usual stages.

1. Day of surgeryLocal anaesthesia, grafts are taken and implanted; you go home the same day.
2. Days 1–10The scalp heals and small crusts fall off; you follow the washing and sleeping instructions.
3. Weeks 2–4Transplanted hairs shed. This is expected: the follicles remain under the skin.
4. Months 3–4New hair begins to grow, often fine at first.
5. Months 6–9Density becomes clearly visible.
6. Months 12–18The final result can be assessed, and a further session planned if needed.

Frequently asked questions

When did Marian Vojtko have a hair transplant?

He spoke about it publicly in 2014, and in June 2016 he told Super.cz that he was back for his third session.

How many grafts did Marian Vojtko have?

In 2016 he said he had about 2,000 grafts transplanted and that roughly 1,000 more were being added that day. He did not name the technique, so we do not speculate.

Why can a hair transplant need more than one session?

Hair loss can continue over the years, and a large area cannot always be covered densely at once. Some patients return to add density, as Vojtko described. The surgeon plans this from the donor area and the pattern of hair loss.

How much does a hair transplant cost at City Medical Centre?

Prices start at $2,200 for FUE, $2,500 for DHI and $2,700 for the combined method. The final price is given after the free consultation and fixed in the contract.

Does a hair transplant hurt?

The operation is done under local anaesthesia. The injections of the anaesthetic are the most noticeable part; afterwards patients usually describe tightness and mild discomfort for a few days.
