Before & After Results

6 verified patient cases

FUE 0mo post-op NW 5
2,805 grafts β€’ Age 40s

2805 FUE hair transplant (single session) to crown. Contrary to what some say online, crown hair restoration definitely works. But when you start with a large completely bare area, it can consume a lot of grafts to create density. Here you see a great example of that, we made excellent progress and he might be returning for another procedure to further bolster density. Notice how nicely the profile contour now looks.

FUE 0mo post-op NW 3
1,654 grafts β€’ Age 20s

1654 FUE hair transplant (single session) to hairline. He chose not to include the temples in the design. His result is dense and natural.

FUE 12mo post-op NW 3
2,100 grafts β€’ Age 30s

This patient previously had two hair transplants elsewhere - one FUT and one FUE. He was unhappy with the pluggy look and the unnatural hairline design. We performed a 2100 FUE hair transplant (single session) to the hairline to make it look more natural. He is shown 1 year after his procedure with us.

FUE 12mo post-op NW 3
1,906 grafts β€’ Age 30s

1906 FUE hair transplant (single session) to hairline. We created an awesome linear result for him. He is shown at 1 year post op.

FUE 12mo post-op NW 2
2,300 grafts β€’ Age 30s

2300 FUE hair transplant (single session) to hairline and coronal scar. She previously had a hairline lowering procedure and was unhappy with the scar and hairline shape. We were able to create a more natural feminine hairline for her. She is shown at 1 year post op.

FUE 12mo post-op NW 4
1,500 grafts β€’ Age 40s

This patient came to us with longstanding alopecia areata in a stable pattern. We performed a 1500 FUE hair transplant (single session) to the frontal scalp. He is shown at 1 year post op.
