How is Dr Thaker’s method for hair transplantation unique?

Hair transplant offers one of the most profound improvements in a patient’s appearance and self-esteem in all of cosmetic surgery. Dr Thaker is a cosmetic surgeon with unique and significant University training in hair transplantation. He trained at the prestigious University Hospital of Athens, Greece, to add a special ‘no linear incision’ technique. Dr. Thaker’s technique involves implanting follicles in key areas using needle implanters and without linear or traditional incisions. We combine the highest technical precision with artistic design for our patient’s hair restoration. Dr Thaker is a featured expert in the news media regarding hair surgery. See a recent interview here.

Is transplanted hair permanent?

Hair surgery with our methods is a profound ”cure” for baldness for many patients. This is because we replace the lost hair by transplanted hair, which resists hair loss. The key is that hair from the back of the head comes from a ‘safe zone’. Hair from the ‘safe zone’ resists fall out, even when transplanted to the front of the scalp. This hair can last many years or even a life time. This technique does not involve a tell tale scar at the back of the head, nor thousands of tiny lines that scar the front of the scalp. The needle implanter technique is particularly useful at the front of the scalp, where follicles are most noticeable.

Are hair transplants only for male pattern baldness?

Once considered a treatment for only men, hair transplant can be equally effective for women. We treat hair loss for men, women, and transgender patients. Besides the scalp we treat areas such as eyebrows, chest and beard hair restoration. Hair transplantation also improves the appearance of scars on the scalp, such as from injuries or prior ‘strip’ surgery performed elsewhere. For all patients, we begin by seeking medical causes for hair loss. This is the importance of seeing a hair loss expert, with training in hair restoration. Dr Thaker thus first establishes that a patient does not have a medical condition creating hair loss, such as thyroid disease or even a medication effect. These affect men and women equally. We address these causes hand in hand with our surgical techniques that are lasting, safe and effective.

How does Dr. Thaker achieve such high growth rates of hair grafts?

Surgical transplant is often combined with regenerative medicine treatment to stimulate hair growth. Then, to maximize yield of the surgery, we inject these growth factors into the scalp usually day of surgery. Thus we maximize yield of the grafts, and also aid in recovery of the hair ‘donor site’. Each individual only has so many donor hairs. So we take each measure to assure graft survival. Also, we use our non-traumatic techniques for minimal handling of the delicate bulb of the follicle. These aspects for graft survival are overlooked by the ‘factory approach’ elsewhere. This is where large suction machinery harvests grafts as well non-physician staff perform aspects of treatment that we believe should be done by the surgeon. We view hair transplantation as craftsmanship, with personal attention of the doctor to every step of your surgery. By this attention to detail, we can produce the best cosmetic result for our patients suffering from hair loss.
