What Is Hair Restoration?
Hair restoration refers to any number of surgical and non-surgical treatments and technologies for treating hair loss in bald or thinning areas of the scalp.
Hair restoration surgery, also known as hair transplantation, and other regenerative technologies continue to develop at an impressive rate, offering patients significant results with increased technological and surgical advancements. From PRP injections to oral supplements, you and Dr. Hua can work together to create a treatment plan tailored to you.
Am I a Candidate for Hair Restoration?
Patients who wish to address thinning hair, bald spots, male pattern baldness, or hair loss and breakage may be candidates for hair restoration treatment. Surgical, non-surgical, and minimally invasive treatments are often used in tandem to help the patient achieve optimal results.
Good candidates for hair restoration should:
- Have enough hair to use for a transplant
- Have mild to severe hair thinning or balding
- Have realistic expectations
- Desire fuller, thicker hair

What Are My Hair Restoration Options?
Most hair restoration patients benefit from combining therapies. During your consultation, Dr. Hua will determine the possible causes of your hair loss or thinning and select the best treatments for your needs.
Follicular Unit Transfer (FUT)
Follicular unit transfer (FUT) is a hair transplant surgery with a long history of providing patients with successful results. This procedure involves taking a small strip of donor hair from the back or side of the scalp and harvesting follicular units, or small groups of hair follicles. These follicular units are then prepared and inserted into the balding areas of the scalp in a natural-looking hair pattern.
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
Follicular unit extraction (FUE) is a more recent hair transplant technique that evolved from the FUT method. FUE involves extracting individual hair follicles, instead of a strip of skin, from the donor site. After being carefully treated and prepared, Dr. Hua carefully inserts them into the desired area of the scalp. This method takes almost twice as long as the FUT method. However, it involves minimal scarring, less downtime, and a more comfortable, less invasive process. Dr. Hua uses traditional FUE hair transplantation techniques, as well as the NeoGraft® system, which provides a more automated experience.
PRP Injections
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a concentrated mixture of platelets and plasma proteins derived from the patient’s blood. This substance contains nutrient-dense growth factors that induce healing. PRP has a wide variety of cosmetic applications, including hair growth and restoration. When injected into the scalp, PRP helps stimulate hair growth and healing of the scalp and follicles. This natural hair restoration treatment involves minimal downtime and no scarring.
Stem Cell Exosomes
PRP can be combined with another powerful development in regenerative medicine—stem cell exosomes—for hair restoration therapy or hair loss prevention. Stem cell exosomes are found in the placenta and contain proteins, lipids, cytokines, and RNA. They can revive dormant hair follicles, thicken existing hair, and lengthen the anagen growth phase of hair follicles.
Nonsurgical Hair Restoration
There are a variety of nonsurgical hair restoration products and treatments available. Dr. Hua is committed to staying on the cutting edge of technologies, treatments, and medications to help hair loss patients get the best results. Dr. Hua will customize your treatment plan to suit your needs and goals. Treatments may involve:
- Nutrafol® or other oral supplements or medications
- Topical creams and medications, including minoxidil, dutasteride, hydrocortisone, and retinoic acid
- Shampoos, scalp treatments, and other products to incorporate into your daily routine
What Results Can I Expect From Hair Restoration?
Results from hair restoration surgery and nonsurgical treatments will vary from patient to patient. However, our goal is to provide noticeable and long-lasting results that increase our patients’ confidence and quality of life.
For best results, we recommend combination therapies for hair restoration. For example, it is important to condition the remaining hair, maintain a healthy scalp, and balance the hormones for optimal hair health. Even for patients who have undergone hair transplant surgery, it is vital to continue post-transplant therapies to maintain the transplanted hair.
How Much Does Hair Transplantation and Restoration Cost?
The cost of hair transplantation and other hair restoration therapies varies. Hair restoration is a highly individualized and customizable treatment, and the price depends on the patient’s goals and treatment plan. Dr. Hua can provide exact pricing details for hair restoration and hair transplantation at your consultation.
