Types of hair restoration methods
FUE hair transplant
Follicular unit extraction (FUE) is a minimally invasive method in which individual hair follicles are extracted from the donor area, typically at the back of the scalp, using a specialized micro-punch tool. The follicles are then carefully transplanted into areas experiencing thinning or hair loss. This technique avoids a linear scar and allows for quicker recovery. By preserving the integrity of each follicle, FUE provides natural-looking results. The precision of this method makes it ideal for those needing smaller grafts or wanting to wear shorter hairstyles.

FUT (strip) hair transplant
Follicular unit transplantation (FUT), also known as the strip method, involves removing a thin strip of scalp from the donor area, typically at the back of the head. The strip is then divided into individual follicular units under a microscope. These units are meticulously transplanted into the recipient area to restore hair density. While FUT leaves a linear scar, it is often less noticeable with longer hairstyles and allows for harvesting more grafts in one session. This method is especially effective for patients requiring extensive hair restoration.

Hair restoration FAQs
Am I a Good Candidate for Hair Restoration?
If you’re experiencing hair loss, thinning hair, or a receding hairline, you may be a good candidate for hair restoration. The best candidates have sufficient donor hair (typically from the back or sides of the scalp) to transplant. Your overall health is also important, as conditions like uncontrolled medical issues may affect healing or results. A consultation with Dr. Nadimi will help determine the most suitable treatment plan based on your specific needs and goals.
How Does the Recovery Process Work After Hair Restoration Surgery?
Most patients experience mild swelling, redness, and tenderness in the treated areas for a few days. After FUE or FUT, small scabs form around the transplanted follicles and typically fall off within 7-10 days. You can usually return to work and normal activities within a week. Full recovery of the donor area and transplanted site may take a few weeks, with new hair growth becoming noticeable after 3-4 months and final results visible after 12-18 months.
Will the Results of Hair Restoration Look Natural?
Yes, hair restoration performed by Dr. Nadimi delivers natural-looking results. Techniques like FUE and FUT ensure precise placement of hair follicles in the correct angle and direction, matching your natural hair growth pattern. The goal is to restore density and hairlines that complement your facial features, ensuring the results are virtually undetectable.
Is Hair Restoration Surgery Painful?
Procedures like FUE, FUT, and hairline-lowering surgery are performed under local anesthesia to numb the scalp. You may also receive oral sedation to help you relax during the procedure. Most patients report minimal discomfort during the process.
How Long Does a Hair Restoration Procedure Take?
The duration of a hair restoration procedure depends on the method and the number of grafts needed. FUE and FUT procedures typically take 4-8 hours to complete, while hairline lowering surgery (forehead reduction) usually takes about 2 hours. Dr. Nadimi takes her time to ensure precision and natural results, so the exact timing will vary based on the complexity of your case.
Are the Results Permanent?
Yes, hair restoration results are permanent. The transplanted hair follicles are taken from areas resistant to hair loss, such as the back of the scalp, and retain their growth characteristics even after transplantation. While the transplanted hair will last a lifetime, it’s important to note that surrounding non-transplanted hair may continue to thin over time.
Will There Be Visible Scarring After the Procedure?
Scarring depends on the method used. FUE results in tiny, dot-like scars that are virtually invisible, even with short hairstyles. FUT leaves a thin linear scar in the donor area, which is typically concealed by surrounding hair.
Can Women Undergo Hair Restoration?
Absolutely. Women experiencing hair thinning, receding hairlines, or patchy hair loss are excellent candidates for hair restoration. FUE and FUT techniques can be customized to address women’s unique patterns of hair loss. Hairline lowering surgery is also a popular option for women with high foreheads who desire a more balanced facial proportion.
