About the Clinic

International Hair Surgical Group is a leading provider of advanced hair restoration procedures, specializing in both Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT) techniques. The FUE method is known for removing individual follicular units without leaving a linear scar, allowing for shorter hair in the donor area post-procedure. For those who may require a larger amount of hair to be transplanted in a shorter time, the FUT procedure is also offered. The clinic emphasizes that no single procedure is best for everyone and that their surgeons carefully assess each patient's scalp to determine the most suitable method.

The clinic's commitment to patient care is evident in their approach, aiming to provide natural-looking results by transplanting one follicular unit at a time. International Hair Surgical Group offers consultations to discuss hair loss concerns and explore the best options for achieving cosmetic goals. They have a portfolio of before-and-after photos and patient testimonials available, showcasing the results of their work. They also offer other services such as eyebrow and facial hair restoration, along with PRP and medical therapies for hair loss.

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.
NeoGraft
NeoGraft is an automated hair transplant device that streamlines the FUE process using pneumatic technology to maintain consistent suction and speed up the harvesting process while still requiring the surgeon's skill and judgment for follicle selection and placement. The system works as an extension of the surgeon's technique to extract and implant individual hair follicles more efficiently than fully manual methods. NeoGraft can reduce procedure time and potentially improve graft survival rates. It represents a middle ground between manual FUE and completely robotic systems.
