Hair restoration surgery can have a dramatic impact on one’s self-esteem and appearance. With today’s meticulous techniques, hair restoration surgery looks entirely natural. This is due to transplanting small units of follicles from a donor site to the area of hair loss. This requires time, experience, skill and an aesthetic eye on behalf of the surgeon. Patients suffering from hair loss have the opportunity to change this creating a more youthful and healthy appearance.

HAIR LOSS IN MEN

There are many causes of male pattern baldness. The most common cause of male pattern baldness is androgenetic alopecia, which is genetic. Surgical restoration can be an excellent option for men with this type of hair loss.

HAIR LOSS IN WOMEN

Generally, women experience hair loss differently than men. They often retain their hairline but have diffuse thinning across the top and back of the scalp. Treatment approaches also vary; if thinning is just beginning, we prefer conservative methods like PRP before considering surgery.

Solutions

• Hair Transplant Surgery: NeoGraft (FUE)/Traditional Strip Technique (FUT)
• Topical Therapies
• PRP Hair Restoration: A Non-Surgical Solution

NeoGraft (FUE)

NeoGraft is an advanced, minimally invasive hair restoration technique that utilizes Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). This method involves individually extracting hair follicles from the donor area (typically the back of the head) and transplanting them to thinning or balding areas. NeoGraft offers several benefits:

• Minimally Invasive: No scalpel, stitches, or linear scars.
• Quick Recovery: Patients typically experience a faster and more comfortable recovery compared to traditional methods.
• Natural Results: The precision of FUE allows for natural-looking hair growth patterns.
• Reduced Downtime: Most patients can resume normal activities within a few days.

NeoGraft is ideal for individuals looking for a less invasive solution with natural and lasting results.

Traditional Strip Technique (FUT)

The Traditional Strip Technique, also known as Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT), is a well-established hair restoration method. This technique involves removing a strip of scalp from the donor area, dissecting it into individual follicular units, and then transplanting these units to the thinning or balding areas. Key features of FUT include:

• High Graft Yield: FUT can often provide a higher number of grafts in a single session, which is beneficial for extensive hair loss.
• Established Technique: With a long history of success, FUT is a trusted method for achieving significant hair restoration.

However, FUT does result in a linear scar at the donor site, which may be visible with shorter hairstyles. The recovery period may also be longer compared to FUE. Despite these factors, FUT remains a popular choice for those requiring a substantial number of grafts and looking for a proven method.

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) hair restoration is a cutting-edge treatment that uses your body’s own platelets to stimulate hair growth. The procedure involves drawing a small amount of your blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and then injecting the PRP into the scalp. This promotes natural hair growth and increases the thickness of existing hair. PRP is a minimally invasive option with little downtime, making it an excellent choice for those experiencing early stages of hair thinning.
