Surgical Procedures

Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)

  • Also known as "strip harvesting"
  • A strip of scalp is removed from the donor area (usually the back of the head)
  • Follicular units are dissected and transplanted to balding areas
  • Leaves a linear scar; shorter recovery for recipient area
Surgical Procedures

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)

  • Individual follicular units are extracted using a micro-punch
  • No linear scar, faster healing, but typically more expensive
  • Most commonly used technique today
Surgical Procedures

Direct Hair Implantation (DHI)

  • A more advanced FUE variation using a Choi implanter pen
  • Follicles are implanted immediately after extraction without creating recipient sites first
  • Promotes better graft survival and precision placement
Surgical Procedures

Robotic Hair Transplant (e.g., ARTAS)

  • Uses robotics to assist in FUE extraction and/or implantation
  • Increases precision and consistency, but often more costly
  • Limited availability and mostly used in the U.S.
Non-Surgical Therapies (Medical or Injection-Based)

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy

  • Concentrated platelets from your blood are injected into the scalp
  • Stimulates follicle activity and can slow hair loss
  • Often used in combination with transplantation
Non-Surgical Therapies (Medical or Injection-Based)

Exosome Therapy / Stem Cell–Derived Growth Factors

  • Uses signaling molecules to stimulate follicular regeneration
  • Still in early stages but gaining popularity
  • May be marketed as “ExoHair” or “stem cell-based therapy”
Non-Surgical Therapies (Medical or Injection-Based)

Mesotherapy

  • Microinjections of vitamins, enzymes, and medications into the scalp
  • Aims to improve hair growth and scalp health
  • Often used as a supportive or preventive treatment
Pharmacological / At-Home Medical Treatments

Finasteride (Propecia)

  • Oral medication that blocks DHT, a hormone linked to hair loss
  • FDA-approved for male pattern baldness
  • Risk of side effects like sexual dysfunction
Pharmacological / At-Home Medical Treatments

Minoxidil (Rogaine)

  • Topical solution or foam
  • Stimulates hair growth by improving blood flow to follicles
  • FDA-approved for men and women
Pharmacological / At-Home Medical Treatments

Dutasteride (off-label for hair loss)

  • Similar to finasteride but stronger
  • Often used when finasteride is not effective enough
Cosmetic and Camouflage Treatments

Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP)

  • Tattoo-like procedure that mimics the look of shaved hair or thicker density
  • Useful for camouflaging scars or thinning areas
  • Non-invasive, no downtime
Cosmetic and Camouflage Treatments

Hair Fibers / Concealers (e.g., Toppik)

  • Keratin-based powder that clings to hair to create a fuller look
  • Temporary and cosmetic only
Adjunctive / Supportive Procedures & Tools

Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)

  • Also known as laser caps, helmets, or combs
  • Stimulates blood flow and follicular metabolism
  • Often recommended post-transplant or for early-stage hair loss
Adjunctive / Supportive Procedures & Tools

Scalp Detox / Microdermabrasion

  • Deep cleaning or exfoliation of the scalp
  • Can improve hair health and support other treatments
Adjunctive / Supportive Procedures & Tools

Hair Cloning / Cell-Based Therapies (Experimental)

  • Emerging technology aiming to clone follicles for future transplantation
  • Not yet widely available or FDA-approved
