Hair Restoration Treatment Options WRITTEN BY JASON GUILLOT , MD
STATE-OF-THE-ART TECHNIQUES IN facial plastic surgery for aesthetics can enhance and enrich people’s lives like never before. Advances in surgical and non-surgical treatments provide many options for patients to reach their desired goals. To many, a full head of hair represents attractiveness and desirability both personally and professionally. Treatment options for hair loss have come a long way since the unsightly plug methods of the past. New advances can help you achieve natural looking results using either of the two well respected hair restoration techniques. One is the traditional "strip" harvesting method and the other is the newer, automated Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) with the NeoGraft instrument. The benefits of the NeoGraft procedure include no scalpel incision, no sutures or staples, no linear scar, and a quicker recovery time. Regardless of the chosen surgical technique, surgical hair restoration can produce natural hair lines with top quality, long lasting results. In addition to surgical hair restoration techniques, there are a variety of procedures for patients with hair growth goals. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) treatments, microneedling, and photo light therapy can be done in the office with little to no downtime. These methods can be used in conjunction with the surgical treatments or as standalone procedures for promoting hair growth. If you are considering any hair restoration or hair growth treatments, consult with a physician specializing in these techniques before scheduling any procedure. Discuss your needs and goals to ensure the appropriate treatment plan is in place to best meet your expectations for hair restoration and to make sure your experience will be discrete and comfortable.
