FUE Hair Transplants in Los Angeles | Salar Hazany MD
Salar Hazany MD Advanced Hair Restoration For Men & Women
For this procedure, the surgeon harvests individual hair follicles from an area that is genetically resistant to hair loss and grafts it to the balding area. Hair naturally grows in groupings of one to four hairs called “follicular units.” By harvesting and grafting each follicle unit-by-unit this transplantation procedure creates a natural hair growth pattern. FUE can be used to restore hairlines, eyelashes, eyebrows, and facial hair. FUE can also be used to cover scars.
How Laser Hair Removal Works ?
Does FUE Provide Permanent results?
Harvesting hair follicles in areas that are genetically resistant to hair loss confers this resistance to the balding area to which it is grafted. Therefore, FUE provides long-lasting hair regrowth. However, hair loss is a progressive process whereby the hair surrounding the grafting site begins to thin over time. Patients may need additional procedures to address the peripheral hair loss that occurs outside the original graft site.

Are you a Good Candidate for a Hair Transplantation?
FUE is an ideal treatment for both men and women suffering from hair loss. Since this procedure involves transplanting hair from one area to another, an ideal candidate should have enough hair to transplant to the balding area. Typically, FUE candidates are between the ages of 25 and 65. For patients younger than 25, the nature of their hair loss may change over time.
For patients older than 65, hair from the donor site is often too thin to be transplanted. Patients who do not fall within this age range still may be good candidates for FUE. It is best to schedule a consultation
to see if FUE is the right treatment for you.
How Much Hair Can be Transplanted?
When it comes to hair transplantation, the number of hairs being transferred is referred to as the number of grafts. A graft is a grouping of hairs, usually 3 or 4 follicles that are combined on a single piece of tissue. During one transplantation procedure, the maximum number of grafts that can be transplanted is 4000 and can take up to 8 hours. Anywhere from 0 to 1000 grafts will be used for light hair loss, 1000 to 2500 grafts for mild hair loss, and 2500 grafts and up for severe hair loss.
