Types of Hair Transplants
- Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE): Using the FUE hair transplant method, we extract your hair follicles directly from your scalp by using a precise micro-punch. This is a great option because it minimizes any scarring and allows us to harvest your follicles from the denser areas of your scalp to use in the areas where your hair is thinning. This promotes a more natural look with effective coverage. The precision involved with this method makes it a great choice if you are looking for a discrete solution to hair loss.
- Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT): The FUT hair transplant method for hair transplant surgery is done by removing a strip of hair from a donor area, typically located in the back of your head. We then dissect it into individual follicular units. Then, we transplant these units to the thinning areas to provide a fuller appearance. This technique works well if you are looking to cover larger bald areas since it offers a high yield of transplanted hair. The FUT method is a cost-effective solution for extensive hair loss.

Hair Transplant Recovery and Aftercare Tips
After your hair transplant is complete, you can start the recovery process and begin to see the results right away. Here’s what you can expect from the recovery process for your hair transplant in Boca Raton.
- Days 1–3 Post-Procedure: Immediately after the surgery, you’ll notice some swelling and mild discomfort. You need to focus on keeping your scalp clean and avoid any form of physical exertion.
- Weeks 1–2: As the initial healing phase starts, you may see some of the transplanted hair shedding. This is normal and part of the process of achieving natural hair growth.
- Months 1–3: By this time, the healing is well underway. You should continue to avoid harsh treatments or chemicals on your hair and follow our specific hair care instructions closely.
- Months 6–12: You’ll begin to notice new hair growth from the transplanted follicles. The full results of your hair transplant should become visible, and your hair’s appearance will continue to improve.
Hair Transplant Recovery Tips:
- Make sure your scalp is clean without being abrasive to prevent infections and encourage proper healing.
- For the first few weeks, try to minimize any activities that could increase your blood pressure and cause swelling or bleeding at the transplant sites.
- We might prescribe medications to help your recovery. It’s extremely important that you take them exactly as directed.
- Protecting your scalp from the sun helps the healing process, preventing irritation and damage to your new grafts.

Frequently Asked Hair Transplantation Questions
Have questions about hair transplantation? We are here to help!
Which is better FUE or FUT?
FUE offers advantages such as minimal scarring, quicker recovery, and precise graft placement.
What happens 10 years after hair transplant?
Successful, well-performed hair transplants will last your whole life, and follow the natural aging process.
What is the best age for hair transplant?
The advisable age for hair transplant is 25 years and up to 75 years. The early 20s are not advisable as the patient tends to lose hair even after transplant with age, which looks highly unnatural as it leaves behind the transplanted strips.
Is it painful to get a hair transplant?
Since hair transplantation is performed under local anesthesia, almost no pain is felt during the procedure. Slight pain may be felt for about a day after planting, when the effect of local anesthesia wears off.
