About the Clinic

Northwest Hair Restoration serves men and women in Spokane, Washington, from a consultation office where patients review their history of hair loss, have their pattern of loss and donor supply assessed, and receive a treatment plan. Surgery is not performed in Spokane; procedures take place at the practice's Tacoma surgical center, which is dedicated to hair restoration, while initial visits and many follow-ups can be handled in Spokane or by phone or video. Procedures include FUE hair transplantation performed by hand, FUT/strip hair transplantation, facial hair transplants covering the beard, mustache, sideburns, eyebrows and scar fill-ins, and combined methods used over time to build density and refine the hairline. The practice uses permanent staff specialists rather than independent contractors.

Procedures Offered

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.
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.
