Hair Restoration Then and Now
For many years, the strip method for hair restoration was the go-to option for hair transplantation. A long strip of hair-bearing skin was surgically removed from the back of the head and divided into individual hair follicles. These follicles were then transplanted into areas of the scalp experiencing hair thinning/loss. The scalp was pulled tight and sutured closed, resulting in a long, linear scar.
Fortunately, modern hair restoration methods improve the hair transplantation process by eliminating many of the downsides of the strip method for hair restoration. These new, groundbreaking techniques make hair restoration faster, easier, and less invasive while improving aesthetic outcomes.
While the linear strip method for hair transplantation has helped countless men and women to regain a full head of hair, this method had many downsides, including:
- Invasive surgical procedure
- Long scar across the back of the head
- Scalp tightness
- Extensive downtime for recovery
- Pain and discomfort
- Fewer options for hair follicle selection
- General anesthesia needed during surgery

The Most Important Component – Surgical Skill and Knowledge
Our technology is advanced, but more important than our technology is our team. While devices and technology can improve the patient experience, it is the skill of the surgeon that creates your results. Our technologies are tools and in the hands of our triple board-certified plastic surgeon, and these tools can help contribute to stunning hair restoration results.
As you prepare for your hair restoration procedure, remember that technology cannot compensate for an under-trained or inexperienced provider. Our technologies serve to enhance the already exceptional skill and training of our providers.
