About Hair Restoration

What is Hair Restoration

Modern Techniques, Natural Results

When it comes to hair loss and hair restoration, compassion and empathy are essential. In this way, Dr. Athré truly stands out. Dr. Athré himself underwent a hair transplant procedure.

“I know from personal experience that hair loss can affect self-esteem and can even make you feel older than you really are,” he says. His specialized training in the head and neck, paired with his compassionate attitude, make him the choice of many men and women seeking hair restoration.

A surgical hair transplant procedure or medical restoration takes careful planning and attention to detail. During your initial consultation, Dr. Athré will perform a careful examination and listen closely as you explain your goals for and concerns about hair restoration. Then, using medical or surgical means (or a combination of both), he will help you achieve a full head of hair that looks healthy and natural.

What is the hair restoration procedure like?

  • Medical Hair Restoration
  • Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)
  • Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE).

Medical Hair Restoration

Some cases of hair loss can be addressed solely through medical management. Medical management involves daily oral and/or topical medications. These medications, such as Propecia®, minimize the loss of hair and some may even grow new hair in areas where it was lost.

Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)

Dr. Athré uses an advanced surgical technique — follicular unit transplantation (FUT) — to achieve attractive results for his patients. Instead of simply implanting “plugs,” like in traditional hair transplants, he carefully harvests a strip of hair from the back of the scalp (an area immune to hair loss). The strip is then divided into follicles of 1, 2, and 3 hairs (the way hairs naturally grow). Each follicle is then precisely transplanted into place.

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)

Dr. Athré also offers follicular unit extraction (FUE). This method extracts the hairs one follicle at a time, rather than removing a strip of hair. This is the preferred mode in some patients, including those who have had a previous procedure, those with a very tight scalp, or those patients wanting to wear their hair very short.

Benefits of Hair Restoration

Hair loss can have a significant impact on your self-esteem and overall well-being. Hair restoration in Houston offers a transformative solution, restoring not just your hair, but also your confidence.

Regain a Fuller Head of Hair

Hair restoration procedures address concerns like male pattern baldness, thinning hair, and receding hairlines. By transplanting healthy hair follicles, you can achieve a fuller head of hair, restoring your natural appearance and boosting your self-image.

Long-Lasting Results for Lasting Confidence

Hair restoration offers long-term solutions. Transplanted hair follicles are genetically resistant to balding, meaning the new hair growth is permanent. This allows you to enjoy the confidence that comes with a full head of hair for years to come.

Minimally Invasive Procedures with Minimal Disruption

Modern hair restoration techniques like FUE (follicular unit extraction) are minimally invasive. This means shorter recovery times and less visible scarring, allowing you to quickly return to your daily routine without significant disruption.

Natural-Looking Results that Boost Your Self-Assurance

Dr. Athré prioritizes natural-looking results in every hair restoration procedure. He uses techniques that mimic natural hair growth patterns, ensuring the transplanted hair blends seamlessly with your existing hair for an undetectable restoration. This allows you to regain your confidence without the worry of an unnatural appearance.

Invest in Yourself and Your Well-Being

Hair restoration is more than just a cosmetic procedure. It's an investment in your self-esteem and overall well-being. Regaining a full head of hair can have a positive impact on your social life, career, and overall sense of self-worth.

What conditions does a hair restoration address?

Hair loss can be a frustrating concern for both men and women. Fortunately, with hair restoration Houston patients are offered effective solutions for a variety of conditions:

  • Male Pattern Baldness: This is the most common cause of hair loss in men, resulting in a receding hairline and a gradual thinning of hair on the crown. Hair restoration techniques like follicular unit transplantation (FUT) or follicular unit extraction (FUE) can effectively address these concerns by transplanting healthy hair follicles to bald or thinning areas.
  • Female Pattern Baldness: While less common than in men, female pattern baldness can cause a diffused thinning of hair across the scalp. Hair restoration procedures can be customized for women, using smaller grafts placed strategically to restore a natural-looking fullness.
  • Receding Hairline: A receding hairline can be a source of self-consciousness for both men and women. Hair restoration can address this by transplanting hair follicles to the frontal scalp, restoring a youthful hairline for a more balanced appearance.
  • Alopecia Areata: This autoimmune disease causes patchy hair loss. While not a permanent solution, hair restoration techniques can camouflage bald patches by strategically transplanting healthy hair follicles.
  • Scarring Alopecia: Injuries or burns can cause permanent hair loss. Hair restoration surgery can fill in these scarred areas with transplanted hair follicles, offering a more natural and aesthetically pleasing look.

Ideal Candidates for Hair Restoration

Wondering if hair restoration can help you achieve a fuller head of hair? A consultation with Dr. Athré is the best way to determine candidacy. However, here's a general guide:

Men and women experiencing various hair loss conditions like male/female pattern baldness, receding hairline, or alopecia.
Individuals with healthy donor hair follicles on the scalp.
Realistic expectations about the procedure and timeline for results.
Generally healthy individuals who can undergo a minimally invasive surgical procedure.

Schedule a consultation with Dr. Athré to discuss your goals and determine if this procedure aligns with your desires.

Hair Restoration Recovery

Most patients can return home the day of surgery.

The entire procedure is performed with the patient mildly sedated so that they are pain and anxiety-free. Houston hair restoration patients can return home the same day, and return to work and regular activities within the next couple of days. Final results can be seen in as soon as a few months.
