Hair Transplant Procedures

• Donor Area Preparation : The patient’s hair in the donor area is trimmed short so the physician is able to optimally visualize and work on the patient’s scalp, as well as each donor follicle.
• Once the hair in the donor area are trimmed it is given local anesthesia.
• The tissue in the donor area that contains the bald resistant hair follicles is then removed surgically.
• Follicular Unit Grafts are placed in the tiny incisions by device that are made in the recipient area.
• The smallest grafts (one and two) are placed in front of the hairline and three and four (denser than one and two) are placed behind.
• Donor Area Healing:The tiny incisions left behind after the follicular units are extracted heal completely in a few days. The tiny apertures contract as they heal, making the resulting round incision marks barely detectable. No stitches or other closures are necessary.
• Hair Growth: Restored hair will grow in the same fashion as one’s native hair. Approximately three months after the procedure new hair begins to grow. Around six months, a patient should notice significant regrowth. The patient’s hair (native and transplanted) will continue to grow naturally.
