Are you ready to restore your hairline and regain your confidence? At Medical Aesthetics on Tremont in Boston, MA, we specialize in hair transplant surgery, offering both FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) methods. Led by Dr. Lauren Saltzburg, a renowned Hair Transplant Surgeon and Hair Restoration Specialist, our practice is dedicated to providing personalized, natural-looking hair restoration tailored to your unique needs.
What Is Hair Transplant Surgery?
Hair transplant surgery is a permanent solution for hair loss, involving the extraction and transplantation of healthy hair follicles to areas of thinning or baldness. This minimally invasive procedure is ideal for individuals seeking to restore their hairline, improve density, or address patchy hair loss.
We offer two advanced techniques for hair transplant surgery:
- FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction): Individual hair follicles are extracted from the donor area and transplanted to the recipient site. This technique leaves minimal scarring and offers a quicker recovery time.
- FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation): A small strip of scalp is removed from the donor area, and hair follicles are harvested and transplanted. FUT is ideal for patients requiring a larger number of grafts in a single session.
Dr. Lauren Saltzburg will assess your hair loss and recommend the best technique based on your goals and hair type.
