I received a question from a patient after an extensive meeting (over an hour) about the options of FUE vs strip (FUT) procedures, and he asked which of the newer FUE systems was best. He was particularly confused by the promotions of the ARTAS and Neograft systems. That prompted me to start writing. I’ve split […]
Follicular unit extraction (FUE) is the core terminology that I used to define the surgery when it was first published and is the recognized term worldwide. Could there be marketing hype used here? I would think so (my opinion). The tools have been overblown and unless the technique is substantially different, an FIT is an […]
In order to have an FUE / FOX Procedure, you needed to be tested first. Not all patients are candidates for this procedure (see this page for more info). I recommend that you make an appointment to see me for a FOX test. On the day of the test, we will discuss the procedure fees. […]
There are many things to consider before deciding on any hair restoration procedure. I’ll answer your questions on FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) first… At NHI we use the FOX™ test to determine if you are a candidate for FUE. The FOX test lets us know how easily viable grafts can be extracted. If there is […]
There are 2 techniques for hair transplantation — the strip method (with the linear scar) and FUE (where you are left with small punctuate scars in the donor area). There’s no surgical procedure without some level of scarring, though trying to minimize the scarring is the best we can do. Everyone scars differently, and closure […]
I am 38 years old and in the early stages of male pattern baldness. Currently, I am probably type 2 but it could evolve into type 4. I have been using coconut oil for the past 1-2 months and I do notice some growth (maybe 5%). However, I was looking into getting a minor hair […]
I just met with a Asian man with very low density, even for an Asian. He was considering the different harvesting techniques FUE vs strip surgery. He met with other doctors who represented that they could transplant 4000-5000 grafts in a single strip session and 3000 FUEs in a single FUE session. This poor man […]
Most consumers and patients take for granted that “board certification” implies some level of expertise and qualification of a doctor. What does it ultimately mean to you? Why do we even bother with it? Is it to advertise achievement reflecting doctors’ credentials? In the United States there are 24 approved medical specialty boards that are […]
You are correct. The fees actually vary by: Charges per session (small, medium, and large) Charges per graft (most common practice) Charges per the hair The best quality graft is a follicular unit graft and the number of hairs you get varies from 1-4. When some clinics charge per hair, it makes the price to […]
When there are small touch-ups to a procedure we did originally, we often reduce the minimum fee requirement. In your case, we would be doing work created by another doctor, so the reduced fees generally do not apply. That being said, sometimes we will reduce the fee if the work is small, even on someone […]
I’ve been thinking about the case I wrote about last week — “How Many FUE Grafts Actually Grew?” — about how a patient (we’ll call him Mr. Smith) came to NHI after feeling royally screwed over by another clinic he went to for his follicular unit extraction (FUE) procedure. It’s quite an interesting case of […]
Body hair transplants are not generally considered accepted treatment for balding. It is considered more on the experimental side. As for costs, it really depends on the doctor. As body hair transplantation is done with follicular unit extraction (FUE), costs are likely higher than a traditional strip surgery using scalp hair anyway. That is moot […]
37 years old is not too late for finasteride use, but you are correct, the drug tends (not always) to work better in the younger man in his 20s, rather than older men above 40. Taking out body hair with FUE instrumentation is expensive and unnecessary as there are good hair lasers that accomplish this […]
I recently met a prospective patient (Asian male) with a very low hair density who kept his hair very short. He wanted a follicular unit extraction (FUE) procedure and I strongly advised against it as in his particular case, the tiny white punctuate scars he would get from FUE might become detectable. His skin was […]
