Restore Your Youthful Appearance

Normally a person loses between 50 to 100 hairs per day because 90% of hair is in the growth phase, and 10% is in the shedding phase at any given time. However, any significant change that alters the normal growth cycle of hair or permanently damages the roots of the hair (the follicles) results in excessive hair loss (100 or more hairs a day), which can be temporary or permanent and can be accelerated with predisposing genetic and environmental factors.

While 95% of hair loss from the scalp is related to heredity, other common hair loss causes include stress, age, and trauma to the hair. If you suspect that you may be “follicly-challenged,” there are safe and proven effective treatments and procedures available that could recover the hair loss and perceived age of men.

Customizing Your Procedure

During your private hair transplant consultation, you will be able to discuss your options with our plastic surgeon and experienced members of our team and have an opportunity to ask a full range of questions and address any concerns you may have.

The surgical hair transplant procedure will be specifically tailored to meet your personal objectives, and there are a couple of different methods that we can utilize. We’ll work with you to develop a treatment plan that is customized to your specific needs, and answer any questions you might have during your in-person consultation.

Follicular Unit Integration (FUI)

FUI is a minimally invasive hair transplant procedure performed in a modern surgical facility. It’s widely regarded as a safe, proven method to preserve transplanted hair follicles. Patients receive sedation for comfort, and both the donor and recipient areas are numbed before surgery begins.

Here’s a brief overview:

Tissue Removal: Hair-bearing tissue is taken from the back or sides of the scalp, and the donor site is discreetly concealed.
Graft Preparation: This tissue is divided into microscopic grafts containing one to three follicles, ensuring precision and natural-looking results.
Recipient Sites: The surgeon creates small openings in the recipient area using specialized instruments. Each graft is strategically placed, and the instrument angles vary for a seamless appearance.

Because FUI recreates how hair naturally grows, the outcome looks authentic and blends with existing hair.

How Long Does Hair Transplantation Last?

While the hair along the hairline may have receded, as well as thinned or disappeared in the crown and vertex, hair follicles on the sides and back of the head are genetically imprinted to produce hairs through a patient’s life.

Hair transplantation is the only permanent solution to hair loss. Once the hair follicles are transplanted from the back of the scalp, they will continue to produce healthy and vibrant hairs in the grafted areas in the years to come. It is your natural hair and can be cut, styled, and if necessary colored.

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction)

FUE is the method of directly and individually harvesting hair follicle grafts from a patient’s donor area(s). FUE is typically performed by a robotic machine. FUE saves cost by reducing the number of technicians involved in the procedure but increases the chances for donor site degradation, scarring, and possibly limits or negates the possibilities for future procedures if desired.

Additionally, follicles are extremely delicate, and suction can negatively impact their viability after being exposed to forceful extraction. Dr. Garramone’s practice believes that FUI and not FUE is the safest and most clinically proven procedure to ensure long-term hair follicle viability and hair restoration.

Plastic Surgery and Hair Restoration: A Powerful Blend

What sets the Foundation Method apart is our unique combination of plastic surgery expertise with advanced hair restoration methods—an approach few other clinics can match. Our board-certified plastic surgeons utilize twilight sedation, sophisticated surgical technologies, and their refined aesthetic sensibilities to produce results that look naturally flawless.
