Hair Restoration Before & After Photos
Keep in mind that each patient is unique and your results may vary.
What Is Hair Restoration?
Hair restoration refers to a range of treatments designed to restore fuller, thicker hair by stimulating growth or transplanting healthy follicles into areas of thinning hair. With decades of experience in facial plastic surgery, Dr. Patt takes a precise and artistic approach, ensuring your new hairline complements your facial structure and appears completely natural.
Who’s a Good Candidate for Hair Restoration?
You may be a good candidate for hair restoration if you:
- Notice progressive thinning or receding areas
- Have healthy donor hair on the back or sides of your head
- Want a natural-looking, long-term solution
- Prefer minimal downtime and discreet healing
Because Dr. Patt offers both surgical and nonsurgical hair restoration options, he can tailor a solution for virtually anyone experiencing thinning or hair loss. The best treatment for you depends on the cause and pattern of your hair loss, your scalp health, and your personal preferences regarding the recovery time and treatment approach.
Hair Restoration Options for Fuller, Healthier Hair
NeoGraft® (FUE Hair Transplant)
The NeoGraft hair transplant system uses follicular unit extraction (FUE) to gently harvest individual hair follicles from donor areas without the need for stitches or a linear scar. Follicles are then meticulously implanted to restore thinning or balding areas. Considered the least invasive hair restoration procedure, NeoGraft is the go-to option for patients who prioritize discretion and comfort.
NeoGraft is ideal for:
- Receding hairlines
- Long or short hair
- Thinning at the crown or temples
- Male or female pattern baldness
- Patients seeking minimal downtime and natural results
Most patients return to normal activities within 1 to 2 days. New hair growth is usually visible within 3 to 4 months, and patients typically see the full results within 9 to 12 months.
Laser Hair Therapy
Low-level laser hair therapy (LLLT) uses gentle, medical-grade light energy to stimulate blood flow and cellular activity in the scalp. This proven technology supports stronger, healthier hair follicles and is often used as a maintenance treatment following transplant surgery or in combination with topical and oral therapies. Results are immediate, but healing takes time.
Rejuvenating Complex Therapy
For patients seeking a nonsurgical hair restoration option, this therapy offers rejuvenating ingredients to support hair growth. It utilizes skin-supporting proteins to support scalp health and encourage fuller-looking hair over time. Dr. Patt may recommend this therapy alone or in combination with NeoGraft to maximize your growth potential. Results appear gradually and peak around 6 to 9 months after treatment.
Nutrafol® Hair-Growth Supplements
To support hair health from the inside out, Dr. Patt recommends Nutrafol, a physician-formulated supplement clinically shown to improve hair density and strength. Nutrafol targets the root causes of thinning, including stress, hormonal imbalances, and inadequate nutrition, to promote lasting results alongside in-office treatments. Many patients notice reduced shedding within 3 to 6 months, with more visible improvements over time.
Scalp Reduction Surgery
This specialized surgery minimizes bald areas by surgically removing bald sections of the scalp and repositioning surrounding areas with healthy, hair-bearing skin. Because the scalp has natural elasticity, it can be gently stretched to cover a larger portion of the head, creating a fuller appearance. This technique may benefit patients with localized bald patches, such as those caused by alopecia areata, rather than traditional male or female pattern hair loss. Patients typically see initial results within 3 to 6 months, and full results develop gradually over time.
Dr. Patt also offers laser hair removal treatment for patients bothered by unwanted hair.

| Scalp Reduction Surgery | Surgical | Removes bald scalp areas and repositions surrounding hair-bearing tissue to cover exposed regions. | Patients with localized bald patches (e.g., alopecia areata) or advanced hair loss. | Varies by case; typically 1–2 weeks. | Immediate reduction in bald areas; may lift brow or forehead slightly. |
