Hair Transplant Fort Lauderdale
(Follicular Unit Extraction)
A thick, full head of hair has always been a sign of youthfulness and vitality. For those who lose their hair, it can be frustrating to forgo their desired aesthetic with the inevitable hair loss that comes with age. Hair loss is one of the most difficult cosmetic issues to live with because it affects a person’s self-image so intimately. Diminished self-confidence can often lead to depression as a result of premature balding or thinning hair. Fortunately, there is a sustainable solution to hair loss. FUE hair transplant in Fort Lauderdale can help you enjoy a more youthful look and improved confidence.
Follicular unit transplantation at LifeGaines is a hair restoration technique that involves transplanting the patient’s hair in naturally occurring groups of 1 to 4 hairs, onto areas of the scalp that are experiencing thinning or balding.
Patients with baldness appear to be 10–15 years older than their real ages and patients who undergo hair transplantation enable a patient to look and feel much younger. The positive attitudes of the patients after transplantation almost always lead to increased confidence in both their professional and private lives.
History of FUE Hair Replacement and Restoration
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) was first described in the 1980s in Japan, where a small 1-mm needle was used for extracting follicular units. This was a change from previous procedures where a strip of scalp was removed and transplanted in a balding section. Today, we have perfected the procedure to provide effective, sustainable results that help you accomplish your aesthetic goals.
Follicular unit extraction generally has a quicker patient recovery time and significantly lower postoperative discomfort than other hair transplant methods and most patients experience extremely positive results. Additionally, the risk of long-term nerve damage, leading to chronic numbness and/or pain in the donor area is significantly reduced with the FUE procedure leading it to become one of the top hair growth treatments available today.

Causes of Hair Loss
FUE Hair Transplant treats all types of hair loss, no matter the origin. Most patients experience hair loss related to one or more of the following factors:
- Family history (heredity)
- Hormonal changes and medical conditions
- Medications and supplements
- Chronic Stress
- Certain hairstyles and treatments
The Process: FUE Hair Transplant in Fort Lauderdale
FUE hair transplant takes advantage of the hair on the back and sides of the head that are generally not as affected by hormones or genetic trends as the hair on the top of the scalp. (This is why oftentimes individuals will experience balding on the top of their heads, but not on the sides!) The transplantation of this hair, or hair restoration, takes hair from these thicker areas and moves them to areas on the head where you would like to see more hair growth.
Dr. Gaines will create small incisions in your scalp where you want more hair. These incisions are called recipient sites and they’re carefully chosen to give you optimal results for hair regrowth. The individual follicular units are placed into the recipient sites in the same direction and growth pattern of your hair to ensure seamless blending.
Follicular units containing 1-2 hairs are placed in the front, toward your hairline, while the units with 3-4 hairs are placed on the top of your head and at the crown so you have a natural hairline and pattern of density and thickness. The ultimate result is fuller, natural-looking hair.
Is a hair transplant permanent?
Yes. That’s the main reason why hair transplantation is considered the most effective option for restoring hair loss. These transplanted hairs are resistant to the hormone that causes hair loss and are considered permanent.
FUE Hair Transplant Timeline
- 2-3 days: The tiny incisions left behind after the hair follicles are extracted will heal completely.
- Three months: You should begin to notice new hair growth.
- Six months: You should notice significant regrowth, at which point your native and transplanted hair will continue to grow naturally.
Benefits of Hair Transplant Treatments in Fort Lauderdale
Along with increased confidence and a more youthful appearance, hair transplantation has many positive side effects:
- FUE hair transplant is known for smoothing forehead wrinkles in the patients undergoing hair transplantation. Hair transplantation produces the effect of Botox on the forehead, greatly diminishing the signs of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Patients with migraines undergoing hair transplantation, or hair restoration, often find that migraine attacks decrease and the patients may be able to discontinue medications.
- Many unknown useful effects of hair transplantation are yet to be discovered!
