Removal of a strip of skin from one area of the scalp, with subsequent  separation into individual units containing, one, two or three hairs, and then transplanted to a balding area.

Removal of individual hairs under visualization. Better for smaller areas like eyebrows.

Removal of the balding area of the scalp, and bringing the hair containing parts of the scalp together.

Our hair transplant practice is very different: Each patient is treated as a unique individual. Dr. Memar personally conducts each consultation, and performs each hair transplant procedure. The result from this approach is extremely high patient satisfaction and an international reputation for excellence. More information on hair restoration.

What drives us, quite simply, is excellence. We strive to have all of our patients be satisfied with their hair transplant results and try very hard to match the realistic expectations of our patients with what we can realistically achieve.

Hair transplantation is simply the transferring of hair from a "permanent" area of the scalp to another area in which hair has fallen out due to heredity. In most men and women who bald (or thin out) on the top of their head, the hair on the back and sides of their head is relatively thick and destined to remain there for the rest of their lives. This "permanent" hair is harvested by painlessly removing narrow "strips" of hair, which are then meticulously cut up under magnification to produce hundreds of tiny hair grafts of   1-6 hairs each.

By middle age (40’s and 50’s), approximately half of all men have developed some degree of Male Pattern Baldness. It is caused by heredity, which means that each man’s genes determine before his birth which hairs are to live for a lifetime and which are to prematurely die and fall out.

In hair transplantation, these newly created tiny grafts of "permanent" hair are distributed artistically over the balding scalp according to a carefully planned pattern. These newly transferred hairs quickly take root and, after a short resting period of three months, grow – and keep on growing for the rest of your life.

To create great hair transplant results, a good amount of artistic ability is necessary on the part of the surgeon. He must have a "feel" for how to aesthetically create natural, feathered gradients of hair that are totally undetectable to those who will encounter that patient in the years to come.

After this new hair grows out, it can be washed, cut, or styled in whatever way you like. There is nothing fragile about transplanted hair. It can even be permed or colored. A person with a transplanted head of hair can sleep, swim, ski – in other words – do everything they ever did before, knowing that once again they have their own hair back again and no one will know.
