We are proud to announce that our specialist is of the few out of 5 in the entire state of California. You can rest assured, your transplant will be done with the best possible and natural results by a highly skilled and trained professional surgeon.
Advantages with FUE Hair Transplants
There are no blades or scalpels used in this procedure. Instead, we use a especially designed surgical instrument small enough to extract one single follicular unit at a time. This results in the same natural results as a normal strip procedure, but with very little bleeding, no visible scar formation and less recovery time for patients. With follicular unit extraction, patients can benefit from having no visible scar formation and still have the option of shaving their heads throughout their lifetime.
Having an FUE procedure has its advantages as it is more comfortable during the healing period, and activities can be resumed in less time. Complete healing from a follicular unit extraction procedure is about 5 to 7 days, compared to two weeks for the traditional hair transplant.
 Important for those who wear their hair short because it decreases the healing time in the donor area.
Useful for those with a greater risk of donor scarring (Asians)
Ideal for repairing donor scars that cannot be excised
No limitations on strenuous exercise after the procedure
o Less post-op discomfort
Provides an alternative when the scalp is too tight for a strip excision
Extends the size of the donor area (but not necessarily the total number of grafts)
Enables one to harvest finer hair from the nape of the neck to be used at the hairline or for eyebrows
Makes it theoretically possible to harvest non-scalp hair (for example, beard or body hair)
Most useful when a limited number of grafts are needed
A Few Disadvantages with FUE
One of the major disadvantages of FUE procedure is that it is time consuming, and a limited number of follicular units can be harvested in the donor area per session. That is not the case with a normal strip hair transplant where we can take as much as 5,000 grafts per session. For FUE hair transplants, if the hair needed for a natural result is greater than 800 – 1200 grafts, the use of more than one session is suggested.
Our hair specialist has experimented with many different techniques in FUE over the years of his practice. He has worked under the best trained and skilled hair physicians in the world. He has developed his own tool and technique which provides greater efficiency in patient pull and has broken the record for 1600 graphs within a 4-hour period. This is an incredible breakthrough as this amount of pulls would normally take 16 hours. Our specialist has perfected the MHTA method and has provided many amazing results.
