FUE HAIR TRANSPLANTS
FUE stands for Follicular Unit Extraction or Excision, and for 15 years has been the preferred procedure for nearly all patients. Each graft containing from one to three, sometimes four hairs, is removed one at a time usually from the back and sides of the head, avoiding a linear donor site scar.

In cases where the male patient lacks sufficient amounts of scalp donor hairs, due to an advanced degree of hair loss or over-harvesting from prior transplants, hairs from the beard and occasionally from the chest or abdomen can be used. These hairs, once transplanted to the scalp, will resemble and even replicate scalp hairs, where they typically will continue to grow. Using FUE to harvest the grafts, scarring of the beard donor areas is not expected to occur.

This non-surgical procedure is essentially a semi permanent tattoo that creates the appearance of fuller hair. Using specialized equipment and artistic techniques, organic pigments that are color-matched to the existing hairs are injected into the scalp. The results typically last five years, and allow the patient to keep the hair long or if desired to shave it giving a “buzzed” appearance.

FEATURED: NO-SHAVE FUE
BE PRESENTABLE THE VERY NEXT DAY
Rather than shaving the back and sides of the head to harvest FUE grafts, the No-Shave technique allows for the extraction of each graft without needing to trim any of he surrounding hairs. While more time-consuming and requiring a more meticulous approach, Dr. Epstein utilizes the No-Shave for patients who are willing to pay extra for the privilege of being presentable the very next day without any signs of having just had a procedure. Also offered is a a partial-shave FUE, requiring the shaving of just the lower back of the head, giving a look of a “fade” haircut. No matter whether the donor area is approached as a No-Shave, partial-shave, or shave, it is not necessary to shave any of the hairs in the recipient area so that the existing hairs will conceal the tiny crusts that are present for the first five to seven days as the transplants heal.

Hair transplant results are permanent, however, some factors can affect the results of the procedure, from the techniques applied to the quality of work to genetics to the progression of hair loss and more. Most patients begin seeing results three to four months after the transplant, with full results visible 10 to 14 months later.
Hair restoration is the procedure of taking hair follicles from one part of the scalp or body and placing them in a new area to help fill in baldness or loss of eyebrows, beards, and other areas. Although this intricate process can be used for various parts of the body, it is most commonly applied to restore hair to the scalp.
In most cases, the surgeon will take hair from the sides or back of the scalp, and these will act as the new hair follicles in the area that needs treatment. The hair follicle groups are harvested usually individually with the technique of FUE (follicular unit extraction) avoiding the need for a linear incision. Each follicle is prepared for its new recipient site, and recovery from the surgery typically only takes a few days.
Hair transplants are typically used to treat scalp baldness. An alternative or supplement to using scalp donor hairs is to transplant hair from unwanted places on your body for use on your scalp. This method often solves two issues: removing or reducing unwanted body hair (particularly from the back or the chest when desired) while also helping you achieve a fuller head of hair. The most common body hair used for transplantation, after the scalp, is beard hair, due to the reliability and consistency of regrowth, and the rapid healing of the donor area so that within 24 hours there is no sign anything was done.
With the meticulous care of the surgeon and the necessary local sedation and anesthetic, you should feel no pain during or even after the procedure for the first few days, maybe a slight soreness that can be easily addressed with mild pain pills. Hair transplantation is a minimally invasive and quite comfortable procedure, no matter where on your body the operation takes place.
A thorough consultation with the surgeon will help you decide if you’re a good candidate for a hair transplant. Individuals who are at the earliest stages of hair loss are usually advised to hold off on a procedure and instead focus on preventative therapies to help hold onto and maybe even thicken existing hairs. Meanwhile even those with advanced hair loss, assuming realistic expectations and at least a moderate amount of donor’s hair can be a good candidate. The key is for the doctor to present a customized and thorough treatment regimen that accounts for the risk of future hair loss.
Follicular unit extraction (FUE) is a technique where each graft is removed one at a time. These tiny dot scars heal within a matter of days, avoiding the telltale linear donor site scar of the older procedures. This operation is an outpatient procedure, which means it’s normal to be sent home as soon as the session is over.
In a typical procedure 1600 to as many as 3500 FUE grafts can be transplanted over one day. Full exercise can be resumed in five days, and the hair that’s transplanted typically takes about three to six months to start growing back and offers an excellent look in the long term.
Regardless of the type of hair transplant operation you choose to undergo, initial discomfort and tenderness will subside within a few days following the surgery. It’s important to note that some swelling may occur after the procedure, but this will also start to lessen about five to seven days after the operation. If you work out often, it’s best to wait at least six days after surgery to resume your fitness routine. Overall, you should feel back to normal in under a week.
The cost of a hair transplant procedure will vary depending on the number of hairs transplanted, the surgeon, the extraction method used, as well as other factors. You’ll also want to consider the surgeon’s reputation and specific skill set, as these could also affect the price. While it is possible to find surgeons willing to do the procedure at a low cost, in Dr. Epstein’s professional opinion, you get what you pay for. Your body and your health aren’t areas where it pays to cut corners.
Ultimately, it’s always a good idea to book a consultation with your preferred surgeon, so they can give you a detailed breakdown of the exact costs and what you can expect throughout the procedure.
