Hair Transplant Surgery

Hair Transplantation is the harvesting of healthy hair from the lower back or sides of the head and moving or "replanting" that hair to the front and/or crown of the head. THIS IS A PERMANENT PROCEDURE using your own hair and it will last a lifetime. No special maintenance is required. You can cut, comb, color, or whatever you normally do.

We use what has become the "gold standard" in surgical hair replacement ... Follicular Unit Transplantation. This new procedure produces an undetectable natural appearance.

What Are Follicular Transplant Units

The easiest way to explain Follicular Transplant Units is to see the actual Follicular Unit "groupings" of your natural hair on our new Video Grafting Microscope. This will demonstrate how your hair naturally grows in one, two, and three hair groupings, now known as Follicular Transplant Units (FTUs).

Natural Appearance: By moving hair in these Follicular Transplant Units, a natural appearance can be assured. The recreated hair line is irregular, the FTUs will vary in size (1 to 3 hairs) and then placed randomly. No straight lines and no "plug" row effects!

Permanent Hair: The hair on the sides and back of the head have been programmed to grow forever. This is a fact of nature and genetics.

Hair Density: Hair density is achieved by the number of units used, the number of hairs in a unit and the artistic placement of the Follicular Transplant Unit.

Realistic Expectations

The appearance of a natural fuller head of hair that will last a lifetime is indeed possible. Coverage and density depend on the individual number of FTUs and the amount of donor hair available.

You will be evaluated as to the donor area available, expectations, costs and personal desires. The benefits, options, limitations and procedures will also be discussed in detail.

Transplantation Procedure - Step By Step

  1. Consult with the doctor prior to the procedure to answer any additional questions. The doctor will go over all procedures prior to and after transplantation.
  2. The doctor will mark the area to receive Follicular Transplant Units for client approval.
  3. A sedative will be offered to relax the client. The client is awake and can watch television or a video during the procedure.
  4. A nurse will administer anesthesia for the donor and recipient areas.
  5. The donor will be removed and sutured. The donor will be divided into Follicular Transplant Units as directed by the physician.
  6. The doctor will make small recipient openings in the transplant area.
  7. Follicular Transplant Units will be inserted by the medical team.
  8. Upon completion of the procedure, the client will be shampooed and prepared to leave.
  9. The client will review the postoperative instructions with the medical staff to assure proper care of the FTUs and receive a 24 hour telephone number so the client may call if questions should arise.
  10. The client will receive all necessary products, medications necessary for comfort,healing and shampooing.

Transplantation Follow Up

  1. The client will have sutures removed within 10-12 days.
  2. Clients are invited to be examined after 4-6 weeks in order to monitor progress.
  3. The client will begin to see significant results in 3-6 months. This time will vary depending on how fast ones hair grows.
