Depending on the area being treated, different methods may be utilized for your hair transplant or restoration. In every case, hair follicles are re-positioned from one area to the thinning or balding area. Your surgeon, hair loss specialst Dr. Michael F. Wisiorek, will start by using local anesthetic in the areas used for both donating and receiving the hair follicles. Your surgeon will then divide the removed area of hair follicles into many small segments, each holding anywhere from a single strand to multiple hairs, which will be transplanted into the balding or thinning areas. Typically, scars are hardly noticeable because they are covered by hair.

• Injections – Cells are harvested from the blood and injected into the scalp to promote hair growth.
• Strip Harvesting – This method removes a strip of hair, typically from the back of the head. The strip is then divided into several pieces and transplanted to the area being treated.
• Follicular Unit Extraction – The actual hair follicles are individually taken from a large area around the head then placed to the thinning or bald area.

Dr. Wisiorek will work with you to assess exactly where hair follicles should be removed for transplant. Your Naples hair loss specialist will point out which locations provide the most discreet areas to perform incisions with minimal scar visibility. Typically, scars are unnoticeable as they will be covered by hair. Speak with your surgeon about your options, concerns, and aesthetic goals.

Your naples hair transplant or hair restoration should last indefinitely. Sometimes, additional hair loss occurs in the original hair, or the hair may not look as full as originally desired. In cases like this you can schedule an additional procedure at Naples Plastic Surgery.
