FUE Hair Transplants NJ

FUE is your scarless, minimally-invasive hair transplant option.

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a minimally invasive procedure that involves harvesting follicular units through small punch grafts. Extracted follicles are then transplanted into the balding areas. The process can be very long with proper diligence in selecting appropriate donor grafts.

At Davis Hair Restoration, we're using this advanced hair-transplant system to offer natural-looking results through a minimally invasive approach.

Some benefits of FUE Hair Transplants

Everyone's hair loss pattern is unique and Dr. Davis takes the time to carefully map out the precise treatment area on your head to give you the head of hair you want.

Dr. Davis is specialty trained and will give you a hair transplant that caters to your specific needs and wants, ensuring we create a natural look. Dr. Davis evaluates the organic hair growth pattern and determines exactly where to transplant the follicles. Once the treatment area is mapped, we apply local anesthesia and begin the process.

1. INCISION AROUND HAIR FOLLICLES

2. EXTRACTION OF FOLLICULAR UNITS

3. NO-TOUCH HARVESTING OF THE GRAFTS

4. FOLLICLES INSERTED INTO BALDING AREAS

At the start of the procedure the donor area of the scalp is shaved and locally anestheticized. The follicular unit grafts are then extracted individually, using a 0.6mm to 1mm 'punch' lesions. Each follicular unit contains 1-4 hairs.

After careful extraction of the necessary number of grafts and preparation, the surgeon will make "micro-incisions" in the recipient area of the scalp, and the individual grafts be re-implanted. The restoration of natural-looking hair requires attention to pre-determined density and orientation of the implanted follices.

In comparison to FUT (follicular unit transplantation) there is no need to suture or repair any portion of the scalp. This leaves the entire scalp free of any scars.

Again, FUE requires only a local anaesthetic and is almost completely pain-free, but it is significantly more time-consuming than FUT.

A typical FUE treatment would require extracting up to 2,000 grafts and might take 6-8 hours. The transplanted hairs will begin slow growth after surgery with noticeable differences around 2-6 months. They will continue to grow for permanency.

Davis Hair Restoration provides a state-of-the-art hair restoration treatments utilizing the latest technological advances for patients.

Frequently Asked Questions.

Am I a candidate for a hair transplant?

The best way to determine if you're a candidate for hair restoration is to schedule a consultation with our team at Davis Hair Restoration. With the revolutionary NeoGraft hair transplant system, there are now many more patients who are now candidates for effective treatment. The quality and density of your donor hair sites will help your specialist determine the likely outcomes of a hair transplant. Important medical considerations before considering transplant include appropriate management of any underlying conditions including hypertension and diabetes. Your hair transplant surgeon will also want to know if you are on any blood thinners or anti-platelet agents due to cardiac conditions.

How is the procedure done?

The hair selected for use as donor grafts will generally be harvested from the back and sides of the head. After careful preparation for sterility and comfort, the minimally-invasive NeoGraft Follicular Unit Extraction system works by automated removal of individual hair follicles. The collected hairs are carefully studied for viability and characteristics. Next, the grafted follicles are re-implanted at the recipient site with meticulous attention to angle, orientation and direction to help restore a natural look to the hairline. This is the most critical step for both success and satisfaction.

Is the hair transplant a permanent solution?

Donor site hair is carefully selected for their resistance to balding. After an initial shedding phase, the transplanted hair will continue to grow in its new position for as long as any healthy hair follicle. As such, your investment is secure in a near permanent solution.

Will I need additional hair transplants in the future?

This is harder to predict without a direct consultation, however it is not uncommon to stage procedures. Generally, this is done no earlier than 9-12 months to allow adequate time for the initial transplant to mature. A second or possibly even third transplant is intended for additional areas. Don't worry though! The cost is unaffected by the number of transplants you receive, but rather based on the number of grafts you require. We recommend that your strategy is customized to your very individual hair quality.

Cost of hair transplant

When deciding whether to undergo hair transplant surgery, the cost is understandably a major determinant. As with any surgical procedure, the cost of a hair transplant will vary depending on a number of factors, including the number of grafts required, length of the process, and whether the patient decides to undergo any additional treatments as part of maintenance. Although the price is undeniably an important factor when searching for a solution to hair loss, it is essential to take your time to select a highly qualified expert that meets your expectations. And while there may be an urge to find the lowest price, unfortunately there is also a large variability on results related to technique, equipment, and experience. Your free, private consultation with us is a perfect opportunity for you to learn more about Davis Hair Restoration and our commitment to the highest standards. We will take the time to learn about your goals, answer any questions you may have, and make pricing transparent. However, hair transplant is still a surgical procedure and as a result, it is associated with a higher price point than other, temporary hair loss options. During consultation, patients are encouraged to explore all hair loss options such as propecia, laser hair caps and specialized shampoos/vitamins. While these are excellent options to slow down hair loss, they cannot provide the same lasting results as hair transplant.
