Our Methods

There are two hair replacement methods surgeons use depending
on a patient's goals.

FUT (Traditional Follicular Unit Transplant) (Read More)
Can wear hair short. Leaves faint linear scar

Step 1:

Hair on back of head is trimmed and a narrow strip is surgically removed so that hair can grow through and camouflage the scar.

Step 2:

Hair next to the excision is gently sutured together using advanced techniques so hair grows through the scar and camouflages it.

Step 3:

When the wound is healed, a fine scar line is almost completely concealed by the surrounding hair.

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) (Read More)
Can wear hair buzzed. Leaves diffuse pinpoint scarring

Step 1:

Donor area on back of head is shaved to allow hair to be extracted with a tiny punch device.

Step 2:

Hair follicles are individually selected with proper spacing to avoid any visible thinning or scarring. Then each follicle is gently removed.

Step 3:

By using tiny 0.7-1.0mm punches, the minuscule dots that remain are nearly invisible without magnification, thus allowing the patient to cut the hair short.

Our Recommendation
If you keep your hair very short (aka, buzz cut), then FUE procedure is best. For those who keep the hair in the back of their head at least 1 inch or longer, FUT is likely the best procedure for you.
