Individuals, regardless of gender, experiencing noticeable hair loss, maintaining good health, and lacking any underlying medical conditions necessitating further examination or treatment are eligible candidates for hair transplantation.
At Follicle HT, we offer two main techniques for hair transplants: follicular unit strip surgery (FUT) and follicular unit extraction surgery (FUE).
Currently, approximately 80% of our male patients opt for FUE surgery. However, it’s crucial to acknowledge that both FUT and FUE methods come with their own set of pros and cons. For most male patients, the advantage of the FUE technique lies in its ability to avoid a longer, fine-line scar. This allows the hair in the donor area to be cut to a fade or even shaved with minimal to no visible scarring. This may disadvantage males with longer hair who do not wish to cut short, but the FUT technique may be more suitable. The disadvantage of FUE surgery is that it can take longer and that, theoretically, follicle transection rates can be higher.
Our team at Follicle HT possesses extensive expertise in both techniques, and our surgeons will assist you in determining the most suitable approach for your needs.
At Follicle HT, we specialize in restoring beard and facial hair for men with sparse facial hair or those who have lost facial hair due to injuries, burns, or prior surgeries.
Follicular unit grafts for facial hair transplantation are typically sourced from the back and sides of the scalp through either follicular unit extraction (FUE) or follicular unit strip surgery (FUT). Our surgeons will conduct a personalized evaluation and discuss options for enhancing facial hair regions such as stubble, goatee area, sideburns, mustache, and beard.
Certain patients opt for medical treatments like hair restoration injections to stimulate graft growth and deter future hair loss.
Many patients find relief from male pattern hair loss through medical interventions, with some even witnessing hair regrowth. Leading treatments typically include finasteride (Propecia) and minoxidil (Rogaine).
Propecia blocks the action of 5-α reductase, an enzyme that is responsible for the hormonal changes that lead to male pattern baldness. Propecia will stabilize hair loss in approximately 90% of men who take it. It is essential that patients experiencing male pattern baldness consider medical treatments to preserve, manage, and stabilize their hair loss. If left untreated, pattern baldness will continue to progress.
The crucial aspect of medically preventing hair loss is initiating treatment as early as feasible to safeguard current hair.
