Hair transplant overview

Hair loss is a concern experienced by individuals of all genders. Whether baldness or thinning hair, it shapes how others perceive you and significantly impacts your self-esteem and confidence. Fortunately, today’s patients have numerous proven and effective options.

The evolution in hair restoration over the past 25 years is remarkable. With proven and safe medical treatments available, many patients can now stop or even reverse hair loss. Additionally, when expertly executed by the experienced team at the Follicle HT Clinic, modern hair transplantation techniques can yield impressive and invisible results.

Every patient that comes to Follicle HT has a comprehensive consultation with one of our board-certified surgeons. We assess factors including the current and anticipated hair loss patterns, the availability of donor hair, scalp laxity, and the characteristics and color of the hair and skin. Taking all of this as well as the patient’s wishes into account, can then provide a recommendation that makes sense for each individual.

Although we’ve witnessed the outcomes of older hair transplant methods characterized by rows of thick “hair plugs,” patients at Follicle HT can be reassured that the outdated, embarrassing results associated with these techniques are now obsolete. For those undergoing hair restoration with us, modern follicular unit hair transplantation with microscopic graft preparation represents the pinnacle of refinement in hair restoration techniques. Contemporary approaches consistently deliver predictable and nearly undetectable results. Hair stylists often cannot discern that a transplant has been performed.

At Follicle HT, we achieve natural-looking results that are generally permanent by exclusively using single follicular unit grafts. Follicular units are obtained from the back and sides of the scalp using one of two techniques: FUE or FUT.

At Follicle HT, we provide a comprehensive range of hair restoration solutions. Currently, around 80% of our male patients opt for FUE surgery, although FUT may be preferred by specific individuals, particularly females and men with longer hair. This preference stems from the fact that with FUT surgery, only the donor area for transplantation is trimmed. In contrast, FUE surgery necessitates shaving a more significant portion of the back and sides of the scalp, which may not be deemed acceptable by many women. Additionally, individuals who wear their hair long in the back are less concerned about the visibility of donor scars, as the surrounding hair consistently conceals them.

At Follicle HT, both FUE and FUT have pros and cons. We offer both techniques because we believe in providing personalized care tailored to each patient’s needs, ensuring a comprehensive approach to hair transplantation services.

Dr. Korman and Dr. Solomon are dedicated to attaining exceptional patient outcomes. They will assist you in determining which particular techniques will achieve the optimal combination of coverage, density, and natural appearance for your hair transplant.

Hair transplantation is a day surgery procedure in our fully accredited outpatient clinic, which offers a relaxed and state-of-the-art environment. Most patients do not need an intravenous line, and with light sedation, local anesthesia, and careful techniques, most report minimal to no discomfort. Patients enjoy a tranquil day listening to music or watching a movie as the procedure unfolds.

The potential side effects of hair transplantation surgery are generally minor, and serious complications are rare. Modern hair transplantation surgery is comfortable, reliable, and yields outstanding results.

Hair transplant recovery & hair growth

The hair utilized in a follicular unit transplant originates from your scalp, not artificial sources or donated from another person. Contemporary hair transplantation entails extracting hair from areas with lots to supply, typically at the back of the scalp, and relocating it to areas experiencing thinning. Your hair will continue to grow naturally and can be treated like any other hair—washed, brushed, cut, coloured, and styled. Advanced techniques and tools ensure natural-looking outcomes tailored to each patient’s hairline, density, and coverage needs. Moreover, hair can be transplanted to various areas such as the moustache, beard, eyebrows, and body.
