About the Clinic

Medi Tresse is a medical clinic focused on hair loss in women, with locations in Boston and Worcester, Massachusetts, and Westchester and New York City, New York, including the Scarsdale, NY area. Evaluations and treatments are carried out by physicians, nurse practitioners, and nurses, who use diagnostic testing to identify underlying causes of thinning hair such as hormonal changes, iron deficiency, or autoimmune conditions, and then build individualized non-surgical treatment plans. It operates alongside a companion brand for men that provides hair transplants, including no-shave FUE, and both brands share the same practice.

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.
