Old fashioned “hair plugs” included the harvesting of large patches of hair that resulted in an awkward and unnatural appearance once implanted. In Dr. Yates' prcedure, hairs are harvested in their natural groupings and then transplanted individually by your physician. Individual transplantation provides you with the look you desire, including a great looking hairline and a fuller head of hair.

Yes. Dr. Yates' FUE hair transplant uses your own permanent growing hair, typically from the back of your head, and your physician then implants this hair to the thinning areas of your scalp. As this hair is not susceptible to the conditions that cause male pattern baldness, transplanted hair will last a lifetime.

Recovery time with Dr. Yates' hair transplant is less than with most surgical cosmetic procedures. As there is no surgical incision or stitches required with Dr. Yates' hair transplant, healing time is short, and you can usually go back to your daily activities after a day or two. A follow up visit is scheduled the morning after the procedure to examine your scalp and to teach you how to take care of your newly implanted hair.

Transplanted hair grows naturally in phases. New hairs are seen about three months after the procedure, and will continue to increase over the course of a full year. At approximately six months, you will enjoy a noticeable improvement and after a full year, you will see final results.

With Dr. Yates' hair transplants, any scarring is minimal and is nearly undetectable. Your new hair grows in gradually, reducing the chance that people will notice the procedure. Your friends and family will comment that you look better, but the results from your hair transplant are subtle and natural.
