The appropriate technique follows clinical assessment. It is not chosen from a sales menu.
What we treat
These are the procedures within our scope. Which one is appropriate, or whether any of them is, follows from the assessment rather than from what you ask for by name.
FUE Hair Transplant
Follicular Unit Extraction
Follicular units are taken one at a time from the donor area, usually the back and sides of the scalp, and placed into the area being treated. Because units are removed individually rather than as a strip, there is no linear donor scar.
May suit
Receding hairlines, thinning through the front or crown, and cases where the donor area can support the change being asked of it.
Worth knowing
A transplant redistributes hair you already have. It does not create new hair, and it does not stop loss continuing in untreated areas, which is why long-term planning matters as much as the procedure itself.
DHI Hair Transplant
Direct Hair Implantation
A variation of FUE. The follicle is loaded into a fine implanter pen so that the channel is made and the graft placed in a single movement, rather than as two separate steps.
May suit
Work where close control of angle, direction and density across a defined area is the priority.
Worth knowing
DHI is a method of placement, not a different source of hair. Donor supply, hair characteristics and the assessment still govern what is achievable, so it is not automatically the better choice.
Beard Transplant
Facial hair restoration
Follicles are taken from the scalp donor area and placed into the beard, moustache or sideburn area to add density, fill patchy growth or cover scarring.
May suit
Patchy or uneven beard growth, thin areas that have not filled in over time, and scarring within the beard area.
Worth knowing
Transplanted beard hair keeps the character of the scalp hair it came from, and it draws on the same donor area as scalp work, so the two have to be planned together rather than separately.
Eyebrow Transplant
Brow restoration
Individual follicles are placed to rebuild or thicken eyebrows, working to the natural direction and angle of brow hair rather than to volume alone.
May suit
Brows thinned by over-plucking, scarring, or gradual loss over time.
Worth knowing
Transplanted brow hair continues to grow at the rate of the hair it came from, so it needs regular trimming. Placement here is detailed work, and the design matters more than the number of grafts.
Female Hair Transplant
Hair restoration for women
The procedure is the same, but the assessment is not. Hair loss in women is more often diffuse thinning across an area than a clearly receding line, and the cause is more often something that surgery alone will not address.
May suit
Stable, pattern-type loss, traction loss along the hairline, and scarring, where a clinician has established the cause and the donor area is stable.
Worth knowing
Hormonal, thyroid, nutritional and medication-related causes need identifying and treating first, because transplanting into an area that is still actively losing hair does not hold. Some women are better served without surgery, and an honest assessment should say so.
Hair restoration is not one standard package. Hair-loss pattern, donor area, scalp condition, medical history, goals and the years ahead all influence whether surgery is appropriate and how a clinician plans it.
Assessment before technique
The first question is not which technique sounds newest. It is whether treatment is clinically appropriate, what change is realistic and how the donor area can be protected over time.
Suitability
A clinician reviews your hair-loss pattern, donor area, health information and expectations.
Design
Hairline position, density and distribution are planned for natural proportion and future change.
Consent
You receive information about risks, alternatives, recovery and outcome limits before deciding.
Aftercare
The treatment plan includes discharge guidance, follow-up and a route for concerns.
