Step 1 Planning your procedure

Dr. Harris and his team of specialists start the procedure day reviewing your specific goals discussed during your initial consultation. He will map out an action plan and locate the area of donor hair follicles.

Step 2 Anesthesia and donor hair removal

Dr. Harris injects a local aesthetic into the area where hair follicles will be extracted. He then removes the donor hair by NeoGraft technology or by donor strip. If a donor strip is needed, Dr. Harris will then suture the area, leaving a very thin, fine scar which is hidden by existing hair.

Step 3 Separating the hair follicles

Hair naturally grows in follicles that contain groupings of one to four hair "follicular units." Our hair restoration technicians, using a microscope, separate the hair grafts into these units. Excess fibrous and fatty tissue is carefully removed leaving the follicular cells undamaged.

Step 4 Preparing the recipient sites

Dr. Harris administers a local anesthetic into the area where the follicular units will be placed. He then uses very small micro blades to puncture the sites for receiving the grafts, with a specific angle, density and pattern allowing a realistic, natural look for each individual's hairline.

Step 5 Placement of grafts

Our hair restoration team completes the final step of placing the follicular units, consisting of a single hair or units of two to three hairs, in the recipient sites. The Center for Aesthetic Modernism's surgical hair restoration team has years of experience in performing successful and natural looking transplants on both men and women.
