Increased Patient Comfort 

At HTCS, all treatment is carried out under local anesthetic. We have developed a technique of identifying and administering anesthesia to certain key sensory nerves which rapidly and simply eliminates sensation for the duration of the procedure. Minimal or no pain following treatment is usual. 

Choice of Hair 

In order to achieve the most refined hairline possible it is essential to transplant the softest, finest hair available. This is usually found just above the nape of the neck. Behind the hairline, where it is necessary to achieve density, it is important to use the slightly coarser hair found midwav up the posterior scalp. Different hair textures are blended to give the most natural result.

Rogaine® 

Rogaine® is a somewhat disappointing hair restorer but we have found it to be very effective for stimulating growth in newly transplanted hair. We advise our patients to use Rogaine twice daily for a month after hair transplantation. 

Strip Harvesting of Donor Area

At HTCS, strip harvesting is accomplished by removing an appropriately wide horizontal strip of donor area hair from the posterior scalp. This site is immediately sutured to produce a fine suture-line hidden by overlying hair. This method ensures maximum utilization of donor hair.

Advancing Hairline Technique

Most people wish to have hair restoration done as invisibly as possible. HTCS' Advancing Hairline Technique allows transplantation to be done without it becoming obvious to the casual observer in the days immediately following the procedure. However, it is only possible if some residual hair remains in front. This technique involves the initial location of the hairline fairly high on the forehead ,where it can be concealed by remaining hair. The hairline is later advanced and the newly grown hair is used to conceal the transplant in the initial stages of growth.
