Hair replacement: Hair transplant is a type of hair replacement which involves transplantation of hair from the back of the head to the area of hair loss. The hair from the back regions of the head are genetically designed to remain in place despite hormonal changes. Transplantation can be completed by strip or by [fue] follicular unit extraction. Transplantation is completed most naturally as single hairs.

Grafting: A strip of hair is harvested from the densely populated back of your head. The follicles are separated into 1, 2 and 3 follicle grafts that are then placed into tiny incisions in areas desired. The grafts heal, grow immediately, fall out temporarily from the stress and begin continued normal growth again at 3 months. The scar is well hidden by the rest of your hair.

No Linear Scar FUE: The new minimally-invasive style of hair transplantation called Follicular Unit Extraction or FUE is a method of harvesting which leaves NO linear scar. Each graft containing one, two or three hair follicles is harvested using a device called NeoGraft which helps the surgeon remove the follicles with accuracy and precision. Artistry must be used to then recreate a natural hairline with the grafts.
