Dr. Paul Ruff's distinguished career is marked by a relentless pursuit of knowledge and skill. He earned his medical degree from Eastern Virginia Medical School, where he developed a strong foundation in the medical sciences. His expertise was further honed through rigorous residencies in general surgery and surgical critical care at the Washington Hospital Center, one of the nation's leading medical institutions.

The clinic specializes in the state-of-the-art NeoGraft FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) technique, a minimally invasive procedure that has revolutionized the field of hair transplantation. This advanced system, which is FDA-cleared, allows for the harvesting of individual hair follicles from the scalp without the need for a linear incision, resulting in a more comfortable experience and a quicker recovery period. The precision of the NeoGraft system ensures that the harvested follicles are preserved in their natural groupings, which, when implanted, create a fuller, more natural-looking hairline. The team at West End Hair Restoration has been recognized for their expertise with this technology, consistently delivering results that are both transformative and subtle. Each procedure is tailored to the patient's specific hair type and desired density, ensuring optimal outcomes that enhance the overall aesthetic.

From the initial consultation to the final follow-up, the focus is on educating and empowering patients to make informed decisions about their treatment.

FUE • 1500 Grafts • 8mo post-op
Outstanding experience from start to finish
I traveled from the US for my FUE at West End Hair Restoration. Everything was well organized — airport pickup, hotel arrangements, the works. The procedure day was about 7-8 hours and I was surprised how little pain there was. Got 1500 grafts and the hairline design was exactly what I wanted. Now 8 months post-op, I keep getting compliments from people who have no idea I had anything done. That's the best review I can give — it looks completely natural.
Pros
- + Doctor-led procedure
- + No visible scarring
