Hair Replacement Procedure
When you come in for a consultation, Dr. Sofonio will examine you to determine if you are a good candidate for hair transplantation in Palm Desert. Hair replacement involves the transplantation of small portions of hair-bearing scalp grafts, harvested from donor sites to thinning or balding areas. This meticulous process may require several sessions before the procedure is complete. There are two main techniques that are used for hair replacement. Dr. Sofonio will discuss your options with you and ensure he uses the most suitable method to achieve the best results for your unique situation.
Hair Strip
Also known as FUT, this method removes a strip of hair from the side or back of your head. Dr. Sofonio then individually removes the hair follicles and implants them into your balding areas.
This is a good option for a receding hairline or significant balding around the crown of your head. The hair strip method leaves a long thin scar which can usually easily be covered by the hair that grows back in the area.
Post-Treatment Care
At the end of the grafting session, Dr. Sofonio will cleanse your scalp and cover it with gauze. You may also need to wear a pressure bandage for a day or two to keep any resultant swelling down. Dr. Sofonio will instruct you on any applicable post-treatment care tailored to your specific requirements. You will receive information for proper hair care, selection of protein-rich shampoo or other cosmetics.
