A personal approach

Your consultation
with Dr. Ennis.

A hair transplant moves your own living follicles into areas of hair loss. Natural-looking planning considers the direction, angle and distribution of those grafts, together with the hair you already have.

Dr. Ennis and the team evaluate whether surgery, treatment for thinning hair, or a combination fits your needs. In-office and virtual consultations are available.

How FUE works

Understanding Hair Transplantation

Hair naturally grows in small groupings called follicular units, commonly containing one to four hairs. Follicular unit extraction (FUE) removes individual units from a suitable donor area, usually at the back or sides of the scalp, and places them in areas that need coverage.

The NeoGraft 2.0 system assists with follicular-unit harvesting. Recipient sites are planned around the direction of natural growth and the desired hairline. The procedure redistributes existing follicles; it does not create an unlimited supply of new hair.

From a donor area to an area of thinning

FUE moves your own follicular units. This diagram shows the relationship between a donor area and a recipient area; the actual zones and graft count are individually planned.

Donor hair is a limited resource.

Growth direction and graft placement shape the result.

What Makes FUE Different?

Individual follicular units

FUE harvests small units rather than removing a continuous strip of scalp. It avoids a long linear donor scar and usually does not require sutures at the extraction sites. Small extraction scars can still be visible.

Planning beyond the device

Graft quality, donor supply, hairline design and placement all matter. The number of grafts that can safely be moved is individualized; a larger session is not automatically a better plan.

Who may benefit

A Plan for Your Pattern of Hair Loss

Hair transplant for men

A receding hairline or thinning crown may be addressed when donor hair is sufficient and the pattern of loss is suitable. Visit the men’s hair-restoration guide for planning considerations.

Hair transplant for women

Women can also be candidates. The cause and distribution of thinning need evaluation, including the quality of the proposed donor area. Diffuse loss affecting the donor area can limit suitability.

Eyebrow restoration

Selected patients with thinning brows can discuss transplantation. Small grafts are placed with attention to brow direction and shape. Transplanted scalp hairs may need ongoing grooming.

From consultation to placement

The Hair Transplant Process

Consultation

Review your hair-loss pattern, medical history, donor supply and goals. Discuss density, hairline design, costs and expectations before choosing a treatment plan.

Preparation

The donor area is usually trimmed and the scalp is numbed with local anesthetic. The team explains comfort measures and how to protect grafts before you leave.

Harvesting & sorting

Individual follicular units are collected with the FUE system, assessed and organized for placement. The grafts remain delicate living tissue throughout this process.

Recipient-site design

Small recipient openings are planned to follow an appropriate growth direction and distribution. Hairline design considers both current thinning and possible future loss.

Graft placement

The prepared grafts are placed individually into the recipient sites. This is a detailed process, with the time required depending on the number of grafts.

Returning home

A hair-transplant procedure commonly takes three to eight hours. Your team confirms timing, aftercare and return-home arrangements for your plan.

Recovery & results

What to Expect as Your Hair Grows

Healing and new growth happen on different timelines. Your team will provide instructions for washing, activity, sleep position and scalp care. Follow those instructions for your procedure rather than treating a general timeline as personal clearance.

The first days

Tenderness, swelling, redness and small crusts can occur. Protect the grafts from rubbing and direct shower pressure. Discuss gentle cleansing, saline spray and head elevation with the team.

The first weeks

Crusts usually loosen during early healing. Transplanted hair shafts may shed before new hair grows. Trimming the donor area can leave a visible short patch until the surrounding hair grows back.

The months ahead

Regrowth develops gradually. Early growth may appear around three to six months, with fuller development around a year; your timing and density may differ. Ongoing thinning of untreated hair can affect the overall appearance.

Ask when you can exercise, wear headwear, color your hair and return to work. Your plan may include avoiding hair dyes or harsh chemicals for six to eight weeks and protecting the scalp from sun for the first three months; confirm the exact schedule with your surgical team.

Beyond the transplant

Supporting Your Hair Over Time

A transplant does not stop the underlying hair-loss process. Your plan may include ongoing hair-loss treatment to support the hair that remains.

Medication

Minoxidil and finasteride may be considered as part of a treatment plan. These suit different patients and have limitations and possible side effects. Discuss eligibility and continued use with your clinician.

Light-based treatment

Low-level light devices may be another option. Device selection, time commitment and expected benefit need individual review.

Scalp & general health

Discuss smoking, sun exposure, scalp irritation and nutrition. Supplements are not a substitute for finding the cause of thinning; ask whether any deficiency needs evaluation.

An informed decision

Understand the Tradeoffs Before Treatment

FUE avoids a long strip scar, but it is surgery. Small extraction scars remain, and healing can involve bleeding, infection, altered sensation or prolonged irritation. Some grafts may not grow, density can be uneven, and additional treatment may be considered.

The amount and quality of donor hair limit coverage. Hair transplantation does not stop future loss of your existing hair. A realistic plan balances what you want now with the hair available for the future.

Hair Transplant Questions

How much does a hair transplant cost?

The estimate depends on the graft count, treatment area and complexity of your plan. Your consultation includes a personalized quote.

Do hair transplants work?

Suitable donor follicles can grow in their new location, but the amount of growth and visible density vary. The plan should also account for future loss of untreated hair.

Can someone else donate hair?

A standard hair transplant uses your own living follicles. Hair from another person is not used in routine cosmetic transplantation.

Will FUE leave scars?

FUE avoids the single long donor scar associated with strip harvesting. Individual extraction sites still leave small scars; it should not be described as scar-free.

How soon can I return to normal activities?

Some daily activities may resume early, but graft protection, exercise restrictions and visible healing can last longer. The team will provide a schedule based on the procedure and your work.

Will I need ongoing treatment?

Possibly. Existing hair can continue to thin after a transplant. Medication or later restoration sessions may be discussed as part of a longer-term plan.
