Dr. John Diep is a highly experienced hair transplant surgeon, recognized by Newsweek Magazine as one of the best hair loss doctors in San Francisco and Los Gatos, California. He is a diplomate of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery and a member of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS). With nearly two decades of experience, Dr. Diep specializes in various hair loss types for both men and women, and is particularly noted for his artistic skill in creating natural hairlines, which he has honed over 18 years. He has even developed his own FUE instrument, the "Diep Extractor," and a technique for harvesting curly hair, the "Diep FUE Curved" (DFC) method. Dr. Diep pursued his medical education at St. George's University and completed his residency in General Medicine at UC Davis. His background in art, including winning awards in art contests during his youth, significantly influences his approach to customizing hairlines based on individual facial features, ethnicity, and shape, ensuring a unique and natural look for each patient.

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.
