Causes of Hair Loss

The most common cause of hair loss is a hereditary condition call male or female-pattern baldness. This type of hair loss occurs gradually over time as the patient ages. Hereditary hair loss causes a receding hairline and bald patches in men, while for women it causes a thinning all over the scalp. Other health factors that can lead to permanent hair loss include hormonal changes, medical conditions, and extreme stress. These can cause patchiness, bald spots, and overall thinning. When developing a hair restoration strategy, we evaluate the unique cause of your hair loss.

FUE Transplant

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a hair transplantation treatment that uses individual hairs extracted from regions around the scalp. The hairs are extracted with a tool that makes a small incision around the follicle than place into another small incision the balding area. This procedure is minimally invasive and does not leave any scarring behind. It is recommended for minimal hair loss and individuals who prefer to wear their hair short.

FUT Transplant

Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT) is a hair transportation method that takes a small strip of hair from another region of the scalp. The hair follicles are extracted from the strip and then transplanted using small incisions along with the balding areas. FUT can leave a thin one-millimeter scar in some patients and is recommended for people with more advanced hair loss and like to wear their hair a little longer.
