Hair transplant and hair transplants




Dr. Epstein also offers advice on hair transplant.

Before After
For Catherine, having few eyebrow hairs ever since she overplucked as a teen could not be improved enough by having permanent makeup. She underwent an eyebrow transplant procedure-one of the more technically delicate procedures- to have the eyebrows restored. You can see the before, the immediately after, and the 8 month results.

Our ability to use the smallest possible recipient sites and thus achieving the greatest possible density and the quickest recovery time.

A commitment to complete satisfaction for our patients: By adhering to the very highest aesthetic and technical standards, the typical FHR patient experiences full naturalness and undetectability, and a hair growth rate of 90-plus percent ON AVERAGE, results that match or exceed the professional standards. Seeking out the very best results for all our patients, it is every FHR surgeon's policy to replace those grafts that do not grow- at no charge to the patient.

The incisonless follicular unit extraction (FUE) hair transplant procedure is now offered. Using specially designed punches 0.8 mm in size, as many as 3000 FUE grafts can be obtained and transplanted over two days.

Keeping up with the very latest and most cutting edge proven therapies, platelet rich plasma (PRP) therapy and low level laser light therapy is now offered as a routine part of all transplant procedures.

Anesthesia is delivered painlessly with the computerized device called The Wand® - a technique that Dr. Epstein is credited as bringing to the field of hair transplantation. In addition, procedures can, if desired, be performed under twilight sedation in our accredited surgical facilities.

The personalized nature of our practice - having personal contact with both the surgeon and a designated Patient Advisor in a professional and non-pressured environment. 

Patients are able to combine plastic surgery procedures at the same time as the hair procedure due to the certifications and qualifications of our surgeons.

Our facilities are all accredited - insuring and assuring safety and sterility- and also allows for twilight anesthesia for those patients who prefer this method.

Questions about traveling

Approximately 70% of our hair transplant patients travel to our offices from throughout the US and the world for their hair restoration procedures. In fact, Dr. Epstein alone has performed procedures on patients from 49 of the 50 United States, and from over 40 countries, while the other FHRPS surgeons similarly have national and international practices. It requires a surgeon with a trained hand to create the most natural appearing result that mimics mother nature and is undetectable to even the most critical eye. To ensure delivery of these results to the Foundation for Hair Restoration patients, Dr. Epstein has extended its affiliation solely to those hand-selected surgeons throughout the country who are Diplomates of the Am Bd of Hair Rest Surgery and/or the American Bd of FPRS and/or the American Board of Plastic Surgery, and have proven themselves to be fully committed to perfection as Dr. Epstein.

I have heard that Propecia restores hair but that it is only for men.
Posted July 18, 2010 8:11 AM

Question: I have heard that Propecia restores hair but that it is only for men. How is that possible? Do men and women have different hair follicles? What is different between men and women that makes this so? Answer: Propecia does work much better in men than women and the reason for this is that hormonally the two genders are very different. Men and women lose their hair usually for different reasons. Men have a problem with the testosterone and male androgens that work in concert with the genetic disposition to lose hair that women do not have. Because the genesis of the hair loss is different, it also is affected differently by the medication which works to solve the problem in men but not so with women.... continue

I am a 50-year-old woman and have always been embarrassed by having excess facial hair.
Posted July 17, 2010 3:26 PM

Question: I am a 50-year-old woman and have always been embarrassed by having excess facial hair. I have tried all the drugstore products but my hair, especially on the upper lip, just keeps coming back. Can you help? Answer: Yes. It sounds like you are an excellent candidate for hair removal laser. The hair removal laser can remove the hair of the upper lip without creating any abnormalities either in skin color or skin texture. The other thing is that you will not appear to have some blond-dyed hair in that area which you would have to frequently dye again if you use that method. Usually the upper lip area or the mustache area in a female is an excellent area for the hair removal laser because after two or... continue

My husband is almost completely bald on the top of his head and he is only 28 years old
Posted July 16, 2010 12:51 PM

Question: My husband is almost completely bald on the top of his head and he is only 28 years old. I want him to try a hair transplant but he says they do not work for everyone. Is this true or false? Who do they work for and who do they not work for? Answer: A hair transplant works for everyone who has a healthy scalp. There are individuals, however, who because of the degree of baldness and the nature of the donor site and the kind of hair that is there may not be as good a candidate or get as good a result as someone else who may have an excellent donor site and very good donor hair. Hair transplants, however, can be of value to just about every patient and certainly your husband should have a consultation... continue

Is a hair transplant the same thing as getting hair plugs?
Posted July 15, 2010 7:42 PM

Question: Is a hair transplant the same thing as getting hair plugs? Answer: The term "hair plugs" is an outdated, outmoded term that was used years ago when patients had small areas of skin removed and where a plug of hair with anywhere from five to ten hairs was placed in, sometimes sewn into position in the scalp. The problems with these hair plugs is that they left a very visible and very regular and unnatural look to the hair transplant work itself. Today, a modern hair transplant which is done with follicular unit hair grafts involves either one, two, three or even sometimes four hairs with a minimum of skin and placed into a small tiny incision. The modern way of doing the hair transplant does not... continue
