To begin, healthy, bald-resistive follicles are harvested from the back or sides of the head (called the donor site). Next, very small micro-incisions are made in the thinning areas where more hair is desired (called the recipient site). The harvested follicles (called grafts) are then carefully embedded into the incisions. Typically, more than 95% of the transplanted hair follicles will take root, acting as a permanent and completely natural replacement for lost hair.[/fusion_toggle][fusion_toggle title=”Is hair transplantation surgery the most effective treatment for hair loss?” open=”no”]

Yes. Hair transplantation surgery is the only permanent method of treating hair loss. We always recommend that patients seeking treatment for hair loss try other proven methods of non-surgical treatment before considering surgery. Similarly, for those experiencing early thinning, we highly recommend prevention strategies ahead of transplant surgery, but for those who have reached irreversible stages of hair loss or who simply want a complete and permanent solution, hair restoration surgery is the best treatment possible.

[/fusion_toggle][fusion_toggle title=”Is it possible to get results that are completely natural looking?” open=”no”]

Yes. With modern hair transplantation technique it is possible to obtain results that look convincingly natural. The key is in the transplantation’s technique, their attention to detail and their understanding of how to create a hairline that is natural to your face.

[/fusion_toggle][fusion_toggle title=”What makes a good candidate for hair transplantation surgery?” open=”no”]

Not everyone is a good candidate for hair transplantation surgery.
The procedure is typically best suited for the following types of patients:
• Men who have experienced hair loss as a result of Male Pattern Baldness for a period of five years or more.
• Men who have progressed to a Class 3 or above on the Norwood Scale of Male Pattern Baldness.
• Men experiencing hair loss that is progressing despite the use of prescription drugs.

[/fusion_toggle][fusion_toggle title=”What is FUE hair transplant surgery?” open=”no”]FUE (which stands for Follicular Unit Extraction) is a popular and proven hair restoration technique. It varies from the standard strip method of hair restoration (also known as FUT or Follicular Unit Transplantation) in the method used to harvest healthy hair follicles.[/fusion_toggle][fusion_toggle title=”What is the difference between FUE and FUT hair transplant surgery?” open=”no”]

The primary different between FUE and FUT lies in the method of extraction. In FUE, grafts are removed one at a time without the use of a scalpel. Conversely FUT requires an incision to remove a strip of hair-bearing scalp, which is dissected to harvest healthy follicles.

[/fusion_toggle][fusion_toggle title=”Which technique is the best?” open=”no”]

We typically recommend FUE as the best technique for hair transplantation however, each patient is different and there are sometimes reasons that a patient may be better suited for FUT hair transplant.

[/fusion_toggle][fusion_toggle title=”What are the major advantages of FUE hair transplantation?” open=”no”]

FUE has a number of significant advantages as compared to FUT.
These include:
• No larges incision, stitches or scars,
• Faster recovery and little or no down time,
• No restriction of movement after surgery (typically with FUT, the healing process requires patients to refrain from heavy athletic activity),
• Allows to patients the option of wearing their hair short on the sides and back (no scar to hide).

[/fusion_toggle][fusion_toggle title=”Are there any disadvantages to FUE hair transplantation?” open=”no”]

FUE is a time-consuming and tedious process. Because of this, patients have to consider the following potential disadvantages:
• Longer procedure time is required for the same number of grafts as compared to the FUT/strip technique.
• Higher cost of procedure as compared to FUT/strip technique.

[/fusion_toggle][fusion_toggle title=”Can FUE hair transplantation be used to cover a scar from a previous hair transplant?” open=”no”]

Yes. When sutured properly, a FUT hair transplant will leave only a hairline scar that is difficult to see once the surrounding hair grows longer, however there are cases where the surgeon fails to accomplish this. In these cases FUE is often used to hide or camouflage the visible scar.

[/fusion_toggle][fusion_toggle title=”How long does the hair transplantation surgery take?” open=”no”]

Each patient’s surgery is different. Procedure time varies significantly depending upon the individual needs of the patient. Some patients are only seeking to address a small area of receding hair, whereas others may be require a full fill in. Depending upon the amount of grafts to be transplanted, the surgery can be over in as few as three hours or last as many as to eight or nine hours.
