The ultimate goal of MHR's hair transplant procedure is to provide the patient with a natural look, maintaining virtually undetectable results and optimal density without compromising the donor area.

MHR's experienced surgeons achieve aesthetic, natural looking hairlines through customized follicular unit grafting and micro-grafting. Using a crosshatching technique that was developed by Dr. Matt Leavitt and the MHR surgeons, grafts are artistically placed at varied angles and directions so that the hairline very closely resembles naturally growing hair. Since no two hair transplants are alike, every treatment plan is personalized to meet each patient's individual needs. We encourage you to check out our before and after pictures to see some results.

EXACTLY HOW DOES TRANSPLANTATION WORK?
When performed by our skilled MHR physicians, hair transplants are easy on the patient. MHR surgeons exhibit refined artistic skill and extraordinary attention to detail. The process begins with an evaluation of the donor area. This is the area on the back and sides of the head where hair follicles are genetically programmed not to shed. Sufficient donor hair is needed for a successful transplant.

Then, a small section of tissue is removed from the donor area and thoroughly examined under magnification. It is then dissected into individual hair follicular units and micro-grafts. After the hair grafts are carefully prepared, they are strategically placed into bald or thinning hair areas. Single-hair follicular units are placed at precise but varied angles in the frontal hair zone to create a soft, natural looking hairline. More follicular units and micro-grafts are placed behind the hairline, providing density and volume to cover the larger balding areas. Placement of our grafts is designed to resemble naturally growing hair.

FOLLOWING THE PROCEDURE

HEALED SUTURE LINE
A hair transplant procedure is completed on an outpatient basis. The length of the procedure can depend on the amount of hair is being transplanted. Patients leave the office wearing a bandana since iti s important to protect the new grafts. As in nature, the hair will grow slowly. The hair begins to grow at 3 months and will continue to grow at the same rate as your natural hair. Results are usually complete in ten to twekve months. The transplanted hair will grow forever and does not require special maintenance.

HEALING AND RECOVERY
The scalp is very vascular, so immediately after the follicular unit hair grafts and micro-grafts get transplanted, the surrounding tissue begins feeding the transplant follicle and healing begins. A slight scab forms on the exterior of the scalp, which usually falls off after a week. The hair shaft may also shed, but the hair follicles remain and often go into a resting phase. Medical Hair Restoration was involved in research to speed healing of transplanted hair and reduce the hair loss in the transplant graft, and as a result offer GraftCyte products. Medical Hair Restoration reports hair graft survival rates of near 100%.

GETTING THE RESULTS
In one to three months our patients begin to notice their new hair growing. Normal growth rate is a half an inch a month. There's no special care needed and you can cut it and style it any way you want. Those days are gone when you had to worry about which way the wind blew or your head getting wet. It's your hair and it's just been moved from where you have it to where you don't! Transplanted hair keeps right on growing. Amazingly, the hair follicle keeps its original genetic coding, so it doesn't attract DHT (Dihydrotestoserone - the cause of male-patterned baldness). Despite being moved into a formerly bald area, it continues to behave like donor area hair. The amount of hair that is restored depends on the patient's degree of hair loss and their desired result. Some needs are met in one hair transplant procedure while the goals of others may be best achieved over multiple hair transplant surgeries.
