Hair grafting is a transformative solution for individuals experiencing hair loss, offering a path to regain not just hair, but also confidence and self-esteem.

At Charles Medical Group, we understand the impact that hair restoration can have on an individual’s life. That’s why we’re committed to providing our patients with the most advanced and effective hair transplant procedures available.

The Process of Hair Grafting

Hair grafting involves the relocation of hair from a donor site, typically at the back of the scalp, to the thinning or balding areas. This process can be achieved through various methods, each with its own set of advantages.

Follicular Unit Excision (FUE)

FUE is a minimally invasive technique where individual hair follicles are extracted one by one from the donor area. This method leaves no linear scar and is ideal for patients who prefer to wear their hair very short or for those who wish to avoid the longer healing time associated with traditional strip methods.

Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)

FUT, also known as strip surgery, involves removing a strip of skin from the donor area. Individual hair grafts are then dissected from this strip under a microscope before being transplanted to the recipient sites. This method is often recommended for patients requiring a large number of grafts in one session.

The Number of Grafts Needed

The number of grafts required for a hair transplant varies based on the extent of hair loss. During a consultation, Dr. Glenn M. Charles evaluates each patient’s needs, considering factors like hair density, scalp laxity, and future hair loss patterns. A personalized plan is then developed to achieve the most natural-looking results.

Factors Influencing the Success of a Hair Transplant

The success of a hair transplant depends on several factors, including the quality of the donor hair, the skill of the surgeon, and the patient’s adherence to post-operative care instructions. At Charles Medical Group, we ensure the highest standards of care from start to finish, maximizing the chances of a successful outcome.

The Recovery Process

Recovery from hair grafting is relatively quick, with many patients returning to normal activities within a few days. It’s normal to experience some redness, swelling, and scabbing in both the donor and recipient areas. Following the detailed aftercare instructions provided by our team is crucial for optimal healing and growth of the transplanted hair.
