Hair Transplant In Houston, TX

Introduction to

Hair Transplant

At Origins Plastic Surgery, Anti-Aging and Wellness in Houston, TX, one of our goals is to help restore our patients’ confidence. One way we can accomplish this is through hair transplant surgery. Restoring a patient’s hair to its full appearance using techniques that deliver results as natural as possible is something we are proud to offer. 

We offer several surgical hair restoration options, each delivering long-lasting results that help our patients feel good about the way they look again.

What is a Hair Transplant?

A hair transplant can refer to several surgical techniques used to harvest hair from a donor site on the scalp with an abundance of hair and transplant it into an area of the scalp where hair is thinning or receding. At Origins Plastic Surgery, Anti-Aging and Wellness in Houston, TX, we offer several hair transplant options, as well as non-surgical treatments that can help stimulate natural hair growth and prevent continued hair loss.

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)

Follicular unit extraction is a minimally invasive approach to hair restoration that is capable of delivering outstanding results. During the procedure, Dr. Joshi uses a specialized extraction tool to punch out individual hair follicles from a dense area of the scalp. The follicles are then carefully placed into the thinning area of hair with precision to ensure they align with the existing hair in the area.

Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)

Also known as the strip method, follicular unit transplantation is a tried and true option for hair restoration surgery. The process involves finding a donor area with abundant scalp hair. This is typically found at the back of the head. A thin strip of hair containing multiple hair follicles is removed and then transplanted to an area of the scalp with thinning hair.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Hair Therapy

PRP hair therapy is a non-surgical treatment option that is used to promote hair growth, prevent hair loss, and improve the overall health of your natural hair. The treatment involves drawing a small amount of blood from the patient and spinning it in a centrifuge to separate the plasma from other blood components. The newly prepared PRP is rich in growth factors and can be injected into the scalp.

What to Expect On the Day of Hair Transplant Surgery

Once you arrive and check in, our team will welcome you and make sure you are comfortable and relaxed. Dr. Joshi will outline your new hairline on your scalp. The donor area of hair may be shaved prior to transplantation. A local anesthesia will then be administered.

Dr. Joshi will begin harvesting the hair follicles using either the FUE or FUT method for hair transplantation. If the procedure is extensive, a break may be taken to allow you to stretch and have a light meal once the grafts are prepped. Dr. Joshi will then begin transplanting them to fill in the new hairline. Once the procedure is completed, your scalp will be carefully cleaned and lightly bandaged.

Combining My Hair Transplant with Other Procedures

For patients interested in more comprehensive rejuvenation, a hair transplant can be combined with other procedures.

Facelift

Rejuvenate the natural beauty of your face to complement your new hairline by tightening and smoothing loose skin and restoring facial contours.

Brow Lift

Restore the smooth appearance of your brow to give your face a younger look to complement your fuller hairline.

BOTOX

Take care of fine lines and wrinkles like crow’s feet around the eyes with BOTOX injections for a combo of natural-looking rejuvenation.

Hair Transplant Recovery

After your hair transplant, you can expect to experience some swelling and discomfort during the first three days or so. You may notice tiny scabs or crusts forming around the area during the following week. These scabs will fall off on their own over time. After three weeks, you will notice some shedding. This is normal, and the transplanted hair follicles should be healthy and allow for new hair growth. After 3 to 6 months, you should begin to notice some hair growth and increased hair density. It can take around a year for new hair to mature fully.

5 Tips for Recovery From Hair Transplant

It is important to take your recovery seriously to allow your scalp to heal properly for the best possible results.

  1. Rest and relaxation are your priority. Allow your body the time it needs to heal.
  2. Be gentle. Avoid unnecessary touching of the scalp. Do not scratch your scalp, and use only the shampoos and products recommended by our team.
  3. Protect your scalp from the sun. Avoid direct sunlight during the early weeks of your recovery and wear a hat that is not too tight if needed.
  4. Sleep in an elevated position during your initial recovery. This will prevent fluid from pooling and reduce swelling.
  5. Follow all post-op instructions. These instructions are designed to guide you through the entire recovery process and make it as smooth and easy as possible.
