John Frank, MD offers surgical hair restoration in New York, NY, with a second location in Columbus. Two main transplant techniques are performed: follicular unit transplant (FUT), in which a strip of hair-bearing scalp is removed from the back and sides and dissected microscopically into individual grafts, and follicular unit extraction (FUE), in which grafts are removed one at a time with a harvesting instrument, leaving no donor scar. Both are carried out onsite under local anesthesia, with FUE also using mild oral sedation; the average case size is 2,300 grafts and a procedure takes several hours, with full results taking 12 months or more. Additional approaches include hairline lowering, primarily for women seeking to bring down the frontal hairline, and alopecia reduction surgery. Treatment planning follows a consultation and diagnosis of the patient's scalp and hair type, and costs vary from person to person.
