Question 1

What is a hair transplant and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

A hair transplant moves healthy follicles from the donor area (usually the back or sides of the scalp) to thinning or balding areas. These transplanted hairs grow naturally and permanently.

Question 2

Are hair transplant results permanent?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The follicles are resistant to DHT, the hormone responsible for pattern baldness, so they continue to grow for life.

Question 3

What's the difference between FUE and FUT hair transplants?

Accepted Answer

FUE extracts single follicles for minimal scarring and fast recovery. FUT removes a strip of scalp and allows more grafts per session. The best option depends on your hair type and goals.

Question 4

What is ARTAS robotic FUE?

Accepted Answer

ARTAS uses robotic precision to automate FUE extraction, resulting in faster, more consistent graft harvesting.

Question 5

What happens during a consultation?

Accepted Answer

You'll meet with Dr. Feinberg to assess your hair loss pattern, goals, and treatment options. Every consultation is private, personalized, and pressure-free.

Question 6

How long before I see results after a hair transplant?

Accepted Answer

You'll typically see new growth starting in 3–4 months. Full results take 9–12 months, with continued thickening up to 18 months.

Question 7

Will people notice I had a transplant?

Accepted Answer

Modern techniques result in completely natural-looking hair.

Question 8

Does the procedure hurt?

Accepted Answer

Most patients experience little to no discomfort during the procedure, thanks to local anesthesia. Recovery pain is minimal and manageable.

Question 9

What's the downtime after FUE or FUT?

Accepted Answer

FUE recovery is fast — most return to normal life within 2–3 days. FUT requires a longer recovery due to sutures — usually 7–10 days.

Question 10

Can I style or dye my hair after surgery?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but wait 4–6 weeks before coloring or using harsh styling tools. Light styling is usually fine after 2–3 weeks.

Question 11

How much does a hair transplant cost?

Accepted Answer

Costs vary from $5,000–$15,000 depending on the number of grafts and the method used. We offer Alphaeon Credit with 12-month interest-free financing.

Question 12

How many grafts will I need?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your hair loss severity and restoration goals. Dr. Feinberg will determine this during your consultation.

Question 13

Am I a good candidate for a hair transplant?

Accepted Answer

If you have stable hair loss and sufficient donor hair, you're likely a candidate. Schedule a consultation to find out.

Question 14

Can I finance my hair restoration procedure?

Accepted Answer

Yes. HAIRMD partners with Alphaeon Credit to offer flexible payment plans with no interest if paid within 12 months.

Question 16

What is the Ludwig scale for female pattern baldness?

Accepted Answer

Question 17

What is the Norwood scale for male hair loss?

Accepted Answer

The Norwood scale charts male pattern baldness stages — from minor recession to full crown loss. We use it to guide treatment planning.

Question 18

Can you fix a receding hairline?
