Dr. Epstein attended and was on the faculty of the annual meeting of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery, where he led a panel discussion on the merits
(his side) versus the downsides of pure follicular unit grafting. In addition, he helped teach a course on hairline design.
Dr. Jeffrey Epstein is board certified in facial plastic surgery, hair restoration surgery, and otolaryngology/ head and neck surgery, and performs follicular unit hair transplantation IN BOTH HIS MIAMI AND NEW YORK CITY OFFICES.

Dr. Epstein specializes in all micro follicular unit grafting, with special expertise in the repair of prior hair transplants, EYEBROW AND FACIAL HAIR WORK, HAIR LOSS IN WOMEN, AND LARGE PROCEDURES (as large as 4000-plus grafts in select patients) FOR MEN for almost 15 years. Given his extensive training in plastic surgery, he is unique in the hair transplant field, AND BRINGS HIS AESTHETIC BACKGROUND TO HIS WORK.
View highlights of the visit to Dr Epstein's clinic
Dr. Epstein is committed to producing the very best and most natural appearing results. His staff prepare all the 1,2,3, and 4 follicular unit grafts using BINOCULAR microscopes. He also uses the computerized Wand for administering anesthesia to make the procedure virtually pain free.
Dr. Epstein carefully creates all the incisions for the grafts using small custom cut blades. These special instruments create tiny and minimally invasive incisions that enable very small grafts to be placed close together. This enables a patient to achieve cosmetic density in a given area after only one surgical session.
Dr. Epstein performs all consultations at his clinic personally. He has many patients from THROUGHOUT THE U.S., EUROPE, AND Latin America with whom he communicates with, as he is fluent in Spanish. His web site is also available in Spanish.
He stresses the importance of establishing a solid doctor-patient relationship. Each step of the process, from the initial consultation, to the actual procedure(s), and follow-up care, is performed personally by Dr. Epstein. His patients appreciate that he personally calls them on the evening of their procedure.
In addition to doing excellent hair transplantation, with up to 4,000 all microscopically prepared highly refined follicular unit grafts in one session, he also frequently repairs prior transplants on patients who have had outdated procedures performed. Dr. Epstein has developed a particular expertise in this area and has authored articles and presented his techniques at national meetings. While most of his patients are men, Dr. Epstein is also a recognized expert in the treatment of hair loss in women, having authored articles in this area. He also performs facial, eyebrow, and body hair transplants.
His strong surgical background in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery has enabled him to develop strong competencies, not only in performing ultra refined follicular unit hair transplant surgery, but also in performing repairs of prior bald scalp reductions and scalp flap procedures. However, Dr. Epstein now rarely performs these scalp reductions and flaps, since today's hair transplant procedures are superior and more natural looking.
His procedure and operating room suites have also been granted the highest accreditation for a surgical facility - AAAHC accreditation.
A Diplomat of the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery, and a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, he is also a past president of the Florida Society of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. In August of 2002 he was honored as "Surgeon of the Month" by the prominent professional journal - the Hair Transplant Forum International.
In addition to south Florida, Dr. Epstein also performs consultations and procedures in his New York City office, which is also accredited by a national certifying organization.
Dr. Yael Halaas practices in New York City. Board certified in facial plastic surgery, she has been recognized as one of the citys top emerging aesthetic surgeons. Fully bilingual in English and Spanish, Dr. Halaas particular areas of interest are in evaluating and treating hair loss in women, and follicular unit extraction.
