specialize in surgical procedures to treat hair loss

Hair Restoration Surgeons, also known as Hair Transplant Surgeons, are medical professionals who specialize in surgical procedures to treat hair loss. They perform techniques such as Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) to move hair follicles from areas of dense growth to balding or thinning areas, helping to restore a natural-looking hairline and improve hair density.

Can a hair transplant be combined with other treatments? Clinics commonly say a transplant is combined with other treatments, most often minoxidil, finasteride or PRP, but the evidence behind each add-on differs. Some of the add-ons offered, such as stem-cell or exosome products, are not approved treatments for hair loss.
Can a hair transplant cover scars? Hair transplants can effectively cover scars on the scalp with proper assessment.
How many sessions will I need for a hair transplant? Providers give different answers, and the number is decided at consultation: some clinics quote courses of 3 to 6 sessions, but that pattern belongs to non-surgical treatments rather than to surgery. Ask your surgeon how many procedures your own case would need and how far apart they would be.
