Which Transplant Is For Me?
There are two major types of hair transplants being offered today – the Strip Method and Follicular Unit Extraction.
In most cases you want to avoid Follicular Unit Extraction or Harvesting also known as (FUE). This technique takes the surgeon longer to perform, and increases the chance of some hairs being damaged (transected) during the harvesting technique and doesn’t leverage the Medical Team’s time and skills appropriately. While this technique has its place in certain types of hair transplants such as eyebrow, eyelash or very small procedures, generally speaking it is a procedure that drives up the cost per hair for the patient thereby not delivering a very good value in the end.

A recent Technique / Machine offered by some plastic surgeons that are beginning to do hair transplants is the Neo-Graft Machine. This is a machine that is used to harvest hair follicles from the donor region and then place the hair in the recipient area. This machine slows down most highly trained hair transplant surgeons and minimizes the number of hairs that can be transplanted in a given session. So, be wary of this technique offered.
Additionally with our unique Multi-unit Grafting™ procedure we can transplant more hairs per procedure than most clinics across the country minimizing the number of procedures needed.
Why is minimizing the number of procedures important? By minimizing the number of procedures needed, you minimize your overall cost, your time away from work, and overall recovery time. Our Multi-unit Grafting™ and Mega Sessions are efficient ways to accomplish this.
