Hair Transplant Schaumburg, IL | Paul C. Dillon, MD Inc

Understanding Hair Transplantation Techniques

Hair transplant surgery is an advanced medical procedure designed to address hair loss by transferring hair from fuller areas to regions experiencing thinning or baldness. Since its inception in the 1950s, the technique has significantly evolved, offering patients innovative solutions for hair restoration.

Comprehensive Hair Transplant Approach

Paul C. Dillon, MD Inc specializes in two primary hair transplantation techniques: Follicular Unit Strip Surgery (FUSS) and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). Each method is carefully selected based on the patient's unique hair characteristics and restoration goals.

Follicular Unit Strip Surgery (FUSS)

• Involves extracting a 6-10 inch skin strip from the back of the head
• Strip is meticulously divided into 500-2,000 individual grafts
• Grafts are selected based on hair type, color, and quality

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)

• Individual hair follicles are extracted from the scalp
• Minimal scarring with tiny healing dots
• Shaved donor area for precise extraction

Surgical Procedure Overview

The hair transplant procedure begins with a comprehensive consultation to discuss patient expectations. The scalp is carefully prepared, and local anesthesia is administered to ensure patient comfort. Surgeons meticulously create recipient sites and transplant individual hair grafts with precision.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can typically resume normal activities within two to five days post-surgery. New hair growth becomes visible six to nine months after the procedure. Some physicians may recommend complementary treatments like minoxidil to enhance hair growth results.

Potential Risks and Considerations

While hair transplantation is generally safe, potential risks include bleeding, infection, scarring, and temporary shock loss. Paul C. Dillon, MD Inc provides thorough post-operative care and guidance to minimize complications and ensure optimal results.
