FUE Hair Graft in Baltimore

Anyone can be a candidate for a hair graft in Baltimore so long as they have viable hair follicles somewhere on their body. Most other offices only use scalp follicular units as a donor location, but Dr. Ashruf and our team can perform body hair transplant. This means that patients with a hairy chest, back, or legs can remove hair from those undesired locations and transplant it to the balding or thinning areas on the scalp.

Patients must be in overall good health with no underlying conditions that could negatively affect the outcome.

No. You will be under general anesthesia for the entire hair graft procedure, so you will be comfortable. Dr. Ashruf can tell you more about what to expect for your procedure, since we customize each treatment to the patient’s unique hair loss pattern.

Previously, there were only very invasive hair restoration methods. SmartGraft has changed the game in this regard, but it is still important that patients understand the difference between traditional methods when performing hair transplant procedures, such as the strip method.

This particular technique, known as strip graft, obtains the follicles from a strip taken from a non-balding donor location (usually the back of the head.) Dr. Ashruf transplants the strip to the thinning or balding area, then stitches the remaining skin together and closes the gap that was created. The strip graft method leaves a large scar that runs horizontally across the back of the scalp. Providers typically separate the removed skin into two or three parts for implantation. This method is used less and less as more innovative technology has developed easier ways to extract hair follicles for transplant.

In comparison, SmartGraft requires no incisions, no removal of skin, and leaves no visible scarring. As an added bonus, SmartGraft technology actually keeps the harvested follicles moist and chilled so they remain in good condition whilst waiting to be transferred. SmartGraft is the leading hair transplant system, and it is our top choice when performing hair grafts in Baltimore.
