How does laser tattoo removal work?
Advanced laser systems target and break down unwanted tattoo ink while preserving surrounding skin; plans are tailored to the tattoo’s size, color, and depth.
Hair Restoration FAQs
Are hair restoration results permanent?
Yes. Hair restoration is considered permanent because the new follicles are usually resistant to the DHT hormone responsible for hair loss.
What is the recovery like?
The procedures are minimally invasive and require little to no downtime, though some swelling and itching can occur and call for careful aftercare.
Is "shock loss" after a transplant normal?
Yes, it’s common within weeks of surgery and is typically temporary. The transplanted follicles are unaffected and hair regrows fully.
How much does hair restoration cost?
Prices range from $7,500 to $15,000, depending on the size of the case. Additional treatments are quoted separately.
When will I see results?
New transplanted hairs typically begin to grow around 4 months after the procedure, with full results visible at about one year.
How do I care for my hair after a transplant?
Hair follicles are particularly delicate after the transplant. The practice recommends treatments like PRP or exosomes and advises against picking at the grafts.
