Hair Transplant

Follicular Unit Excision (FUE)

Follicular Unit Excision (FUE) involves harvesting individual follicular units—naturally grouped clusters of one to four hairs—from donor areas with tiny punches (typically 0.8–1.2 mm), then transplanting them into thinning zones. This method avoids a linear scar, offers quicker recovery than strip surgery, and can draw grafts from scalp or body sources.

Direct Hair Implantation (DHI)

Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) refines the FUE approach by combining follicle extraction and placement into a single step using a specially designed “Choi” implanter pen. This reduces graft handling, improves survival, and allows precise control over the angle and depth of each implanted hair. DHI yields faster healing and an exceptionally natural hairline, though the technique can be more time‑intensive and costly than standard FUE.

Stem Cell–Based Hair Treatments

In this case, the doctors extract autologous mesenchymal or adipose‑derived stem cells via a punch biopsy or liposuction, concentrate them (often by centrifugation), and inject the suspension into the scalp. Early studies suggest a potential 29 percent increase in hair density, but procedures remain investigational, lack FDA approval, and vary widely in protocol and cost.

PRP (Platelet‑Rich Plasma)

This therapy draws the patient’s own blood, isolates the platelet‑rich layer through centrifugation, and injects it into balding areas every four to six weeks. Growth factors in PRP can stimulate follicle activity and improve hair thickness with minimal risk, though results vary and multiple sessions plus maintenance treatments are typically required.

Hair Mesotherapy

This treatment delivers tailored cocktails of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, growth factors, or medications directly into the mesodermal layer of the scalp through micro‑injections. This aims to nourish follicles, enhance local blood flow, and trigger regenerative cascades. This non‑surgical approach has negligible downtime but usually demands a series of weekly or biweekly sessions for optimal effect.
