*Terms and conditions apply.
Our hair restoration nonsurgical techniques include:
- Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) Injections: PRF is a concentrated serum of your own blood platelets that is injected into the scalp to stimulate or “reactivate” hair follicles in the scalp over a series of supervised treatments.
- Photomodulation: With photomodulation a low-level red light is used to stimulate scalp hair growth. We use a specialized LED to directly affect hair follicles.
- Pharmaceuticals: After diagnosing the cause of hair loss we are able to prescribe both oral and topical pharmaceuticals with the help of a an experience compounding pharmacist that will direct our medical therapy toward the cause of one’s hair loss. This includes Finasteride, which blocks a certain enzyme that causes hair loss, and Minoxidil, a topical or oral product that promotes blood flow to hair follicles.
- Nutraceuticals: We may also recommend nutraceuticals to supplement your diet and improve the health and growth of hair follicles.
Minimally Invasive Option
- The NeoGraft Automated Hair Transplantation System: Unlike regular hair transplants, the NeoGraft Automated Hair Transplantation system uses a Follicle Unit Extraction (FUE) technique to avoid the linear scar seen from strip grafting. FUE works by harvesting individual hair follicles from the scalp in naturally occurring groups of 1 to 4 hairs. These groups are then placed into areas with thinning hair. Both the follicular unit extraction technique and the follicular unit transplant techniques offer a very natural hairline with no noticeable scarring.
- Hyperbaric Oxygen (HBO): Works to improve graph survival and speed healing and growth of the grafted hair in the new grafted follicles.
We have found that the best results often come from a combination of these methods. Our treatments and therapies can be tailored to meet our patient’s expectations and physiological needs. Patients frequently end up with a more natural feeling and looking hair by using a combination of hair restoration procedures rather than just one.

The consultation is an important part of beginning your treatment plan. This allows for you and the doctor to have a one-on-one discussion about your your hair loss experience and family history. During the consultation the doctor will be able to identify if there are any other underlying conditions that may cause hair loss and identify the best treatment plan to helping you get back to a full head of hair!
Our variety of hair restoration techniques allows us to tailor our hair restoration treatment plans to our patients’ needs and goals. Hair restoration is particularly tricky because everyone’s body is different and the causes of hair loss can vary quite a bit, this is why we identify the cause so we can develop an effective plan.

How much does hair restoration cost?
There isn’t a flat rate for hair restoration because each procedure is customized to the patient’s needs. As such, you must schedule a consultation to find out how much your treatment will cost you. Multiple factors determine the price of treatment. These include:
- The technique used. Not all hair restoration techniques are equal.
- The size of the area being treated. As you would imagine, the larger the area treated, the higher the cost.
We offer financing options, which can be further discussed when you come in for your consultation.
Does hair restoration hurt?
Most clients are surprised by how little pain is involved in hair restoration, even when it is surgical. In fact, the average client describes it as discomfort more than anything. Anesthesia is used, so you do not need to worry about full sensation as the procedure is performed.
The greatest discomfort comes from the time spent in the chair while the procedure is performed. Depending on the area being treated and the technique used, this can be up to ten hours with breaks.
Mild pain is expected once the procedure is over, but you will be prescribed pain medication and it should resolve within a few days.
Is the scarring from hair restoration noticeable?
The visibility of scarring will vary based on the technique used, the skill of the surgeon and how your body heals. The largest scar tends to come from the donor area with follicular grafting. This is covered by the existing hair. The smaller scars are generally invisible to those not trained to look for them. Of course, non-surgical techniques should not leave any scarring.
How fast are results visible and how long do they last?
How quickly you see results will mostly be dependent upon how fast your hair naturally grows. This means it might take four months for you to notice the first signs of hair growth. It takes roughly a year after the procedure for most clients to truly appreciate the results. How long results will last varies. For some, they may last a lifetime, while for others, results last for several years.
