New Jersey Hair Transplant

Hairs in this region, and often at the sides of the head, are considered to be somewhat DHT resistant. DHT is the androgen hormone responsible for hereditary hair loss especially in men, so the hairs which remain at the back and sides make excellent donor grafts and tend to stay where they’re are placed. This is true even when hairs are implanted in areas that previously lost hair due to DHT.

We like to offer our valued clients the option of a pre-haircut so that they can look as normal as possible in the days following their procedure, despite the small, shaved area. The effect achieved with clever and stylish barbering is that they’ve had a haircut, not a hair transplant.

Another benefit of the new, virtually scarless FUE is that you can continue to wear your hair short or shaved if you choose to. This was never possible in the past because old hair transplant technology involved excising a long strip of scalp from the back of a patient’s head and using that for hair graft harvesting. The long, horizontal line left behind is visible unless hair is grown long enough to cover it. Conversely, tiny pale dots are the only scars left behind after Follicular Unit Extraction procedures and these are so small they are nearly undetectable, (less than 1 mm diameter).

One of the reasons our advanced hair transplant procedure is so popular is that the downtime required is very minimal. We enjoy catering to plenty of elite clients including busy CEOs and A-list celebrities who get hair transplants. These people are in the public eye, yet they value their privacy and their time. We do as well. There is no hair transplant procedure as discrete and quick as the FUE solution. In fact, in our beautiful, sunny NJ location, we have many clients fly in for their fast, comfortable procedure and leave later the same day, feeling great.

Within just a few days, whatever minimal swelling or sensitivity appeared in the scalp and forehead area, will have dissipated and patients can return to most regular activities. After roughly day 5 minor scabbing may remain at the tiny graft sites in the hair transplant recipient area. Any remaining scabs can be gently washed off by around day 10. You will be provided with detailed instructions to ensure the delicate new follicles are protected and well-cared for.
