Tools don’t create the best result, they just make it a bit easier for the doctor. The best outcomes are the result of your surgeon’s skills. Our Strand MD surgeons have many options for tools, but have chosen NeoGraft, which significantly improves harvesting and transplantation, reduces damage to the follicular units, and the risk of scars from the harvesting process.

CONSULTATION, PREPARATION & PROCEDURE
Every hair restoration journey begins with a consultation where we will assess your hair loss pattern, medical history, and overall health, working to understand your aesthetic goals and desired outcomes.
This consultation allows your doctor to determine if Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is the ideal approach for you. With his skilled eye for natural aesthetics and a commitment to patient satisfaction, a personalized treatment will be created ensuring a result that aligns with your natural hair growth pattern and density.
Once your plan is established, the preparation phase begins. In preparation for the FUE procedure. This may include recommendations on adjusting certain medications, avoiding supplements that could increase bleeding, and ensuring a healthy diet. If necessary, topicals or oral medications may also be prescribed to strengthen the donor area. These steps ensure your scalp and hair follicles are ready for the procedure, setting the foundation for a successful transplant.
The FUE procedure itself is a meticulous process that prioritizes natural-looking outcomes and patient comfort. On the day of the procedure, your surgeon uses advanced, specialized tools to carefully extract individual hair follicles from the donor area, typically located at the back or sides of the head. Each follicular unit is harvested with precision to avoid visible scarring, making FUE a superior choice for patients who prefer to wear their hair short.
Once the follicles are extracted, refined techniques ensure each follicle is implanted at the correct angle and depth to match your natural hair pattern. This attention to detail allows for seamless blending and a natural-looking density. The minimally invasive nature of FUE means that patients typically experience minimal discomfort, and a faster recovery compared to traditional hair transplant methods.

You may experience mild redness, swelling, or tenderness in the treated areas, which generally resolves within a few days. Most patients are able to resume light activities within 1-2 days, and any scabbing on the scalp will naturally shed over the next 1-2 weeks as the transplanted follicles begin to settle.
To support the healing process, you’ll be advised to avoid strenuous activities, direct sun exposure, and any excessive touching or washing of the treated area during the first week.
Hair care routines and topical treatments will keep the scalp hydrated and minimize irritation.
WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS?
After an FUE hair transplant surgery initial results become noticeable within 3-4 months as new hair growth begins. At first, these new hairs may appear fine, but over the next several months, they will thicken and grow, blending in seamlessly with your natural hair. The most dramatic improvement typically occurs between 6-12 months, as the transplanted follicles mature and the new hair fills in for a fuller, natural look.
Our advanced FUE techniques are designed to ensure the highest growth rates and optimal natural results, with little to no visible scarring. Because hair growth cycles vary, some patients may continue to see improvement for up to 18 months, achieving a result that looks healthy, voluminous, and entirely their own.
Throughout your recovery, Drs. Anton and Ebizadeh, and their team will provide support and guidance to maximize your results, helping you achieve the look you desire with minimal downtime and a smooth transition to fuller, healthier hair.
frequently asked questions
What is a follicular unit?
Each follicular unit contains groups of 1-4 hairs, and oil glands, nerves, blood vessels, and muscles, wrapped in collagen.
The follicular unit contains layers of specialized cells that support hair growth. There is a bulge that contains a nest of stem cells for hair regeneration. And, there are skin cells. Preserving the follicular unit ensures maximum survival and growth of the transplanted hair.
Why choose FUE over FUT?
FUE is a less invasive method than FUT. In FUE, individual follicular units are harvested in the extraction process directly from the scalp using a specialized instrument, while FUT involves removing a strip of scalp tissue. Because FUE avoids linear scarring, it allows for easier styling and greater flexibility in haircuts.
Patients who undergo FUE typically experience a shorter recovery period compared to those who opt for FUT. With less surgical trauma, patients can return to their daily activities more quickly, often within a few days, minimizing the disruption to their routines.
One of the most significant benefits of FUE is that it leaves minimal or no visible scarring. This is especially advantageous for individuals who prefer to wear their hair short, as they can do so without the fear of a prominent scar from the strip harvest associated with FUT.
