About the Clinic

HairLine Clinic, in Independence, Ohio, provides hair loss treatment for men in the Akron and Cleveland area and has offered individualized hair loss programs for more than 50 years. The clinic focuses solely on hair restoration rather than other cosmetic surgery, offering medical, surgical and nonsurgical approaches to male hair loss. Surgical work uses follicular unit grafting, in which a strip of donor hair from the back, sides and temples is dissected under magnification into grafts of one to three hairs, as well as follicular unit extraction, which removes units individually and avoids a linear donor scar. Each transplant plan is tailored to the patient's age, hair type, general health, degree of hair loss and expectations.

Procedures Offered

FUE
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is a minimally invasive hair transplant technique where individual hair follicles are extracted one by one from the donor area using a small circular punch tool. The harvested follicles are then carefully implanted into the balding or thinning areas of the scalp. This method leaves tiny, nearly invisible scars rather than a linear scar, resulting in faster healing and the ability to wear shorter hairstyles. Because of this, FUE is the most popular hair transplant technique today.
FUT
FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation), also known as the "strip method," involves surgically removing a narrow strip of scalp from the donor area, typically the back of the head. The strip is then carefully dissected under a microscope to separate individual hair follicles, which are implanted into the recipient areas. While this technique leaves a linear scar that requires longer hair to conceal, it allows surgeons to harvest a large number of high-quality grafts in a single session, making it cost-effective for patients needing extensive coverage.
