What are Hair Transplants?

During hair transplant surgery, individual groups of hair follicles are removed from a donor site (typically the back or the sides of the head) where hair is more resistant to DHT and balding, and is transplanted areas of thinning and baldness. Once transplanted, the follicles will continue to grow naturally. If you are considering hair transplant surgery, there are a wide range of options available to you.

Modern hair transplant surgery four basic steps:

  • Removal of a donor hair section from the back and/or sides of the head
  • Removing/dissecting the section into smaller units
  • Creating recipient sites (incisions) across the thinning area
  • Transplanting or placing the units in the recipient sites
  • Microscopic Follicular Unit Hair Transplant

    The physicians at the Hair Club Medical Group specialize in the Microscopic Follicular Unit Hair Transplant method, the industry gold standard considered to be the most effective method of hair transplantation. This process uses the most up-to-date technology and results in natural look that is simply not possible with older methods.

    People choose the Microscopic Follicular Unit Transplant procedure because it offers:

  • More natural-looking results. Hair Club Medical Group uses the newest technology to help patients achieve much more natural looking results than with other out-dated procedures.
  • More coverage. Hair Club Medical Group stereo microscopes allow us to maximize graft yields, ensuring more coverage and better hair transplant results.
  • Effective results for gray or light colored hair. Our sterno microscopic magnification makes light or gray hair much easier to see during dissection, yielding better results than those offered by other methods.
  • Over 95 percent hair transplant success rate. Unlike with other processes, almost all of the transplanted follicles remain viable and are able to take root in order to grow healthy hair after being transplanted.
  • Post-surgery hair maintenance, re-growth and monitoring program. We provide a proprietary post surgical care program to maximize the results of your hair transplants.
  • Microscopic Follicular Unit Hair Transplantation is a far superior method to other hair transplant procedures which are often prepared using the naked eye or low-level magnification loupes - which may increase the likelihood of damage to hair follicles. In fact, Microscopic Follicular Unit Hair Transplantation has a success rate of over 95% - higher than that of the naked eye or a low-level magnification loupe. This mean nearly 100% of the follicles remain viable and are able to take root in order to grow healthy hair after being transplanted. After hair loss surgery, we provide a proprietary hair maintenance, regrowth and monitoring program to maximize your hair restoration results.

    With the help of high-powered stereo microscopes, hair is removed from the donor site and transplanted to the area where hair growth is needed in single follicular groupings of 1 to 4 hairs. This ensures a much higher success rate and more natural looking results than older methods which use the naked eye or a low-level magnification loupe, which can damage fragile hair follicles.

    Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)

    Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a method of follicular unit hair transplantation in which individual hair units are extracted from the donor area, typically the back of the head where follicles are much denser. Each follicular unit, containing one to four hairs, is then transplanted into the thinning areas where you desire more hair to give permanent, natural-looking results.

    Hair follicles may be extracted using two separate techniques:

  • Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE): Individual hair units are removed directly from the donor area and transplanted to thinning areas.
  • Follicular Unit Hair Transplantation (FUT): Units are removed from a donor strip that has been excised from the donor area.
  • There may be some limitations with Follicular Unit Extraction, a Hair Club Medical Group physician can determine if you are a good candidate for Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) depending on your own hair restoration goals and the size of the procedure needed.

    Eyebrow Restoration

    Eyebrows are an important part of the facial anatomy that can enhance a person's appearance and even personal style. Many people are self conscious or even embarrassed about their thinning or missing eyebrows, which can be caused by:

  • Over-plucking
  • Genetic disorders
  • Physical trauma
  • Thinning or missing eyebrows can now be easily treated with the help of hair transplant surgery specialists from the Hair Club Medical Group. During the procedure, hair follicles are removed from a donor area and then transplanted into the eyebrow area. Our specialists give special consideration to eyebrow length, thickness, arch, and shape to complement your facial structure and complete the look you desire.
