Also known as follicular unit extraction, FUE is a minimally-invasive approach to hair transplantation. It involves removing individual hair follicles from a donor site on your scalp, and transplanting them to your thinning areas. It doesn’t require a linear scar or stiches, making it a very discreet option.
When compared to other techniques, FUE comes with a variety of appealing benefits for our Houston hair restoration patients, including:
Hair loss is more than a cosmetic problem – it can have a profound effect on your self-esteem and quality of life. Fortunately, Houston plastic surgeon Dr. Sukkar provides his patients with access to FUE hair restoration, a revolutionary new treatment that is proven to restore your full and luxurious head of hair.
Dr. Sukkar will perform your FUE hair restoration in the comfort of his Houston office.
To begin, he will collect individual hair follicles from your scalp for the procedure. He’ll accomplish this by making minute circular incisions around each hair. He will then extract the graft using a tiny instrument that resembles tweezers. Once the grafts have been collected, they will be prepared for the placement portion of the procedure. Using a powerful microscope, each follicle will be thoroughly examined to ensure it is in optimal condition.
From there, the grafts will be arranged into units of one to four hairs per follicle, which is proven to produce the most natural results. To begin the placement, Dr. Sukkar will make tiny incisions in the thinning areas of your scalp. He will then transplant the prepared grafts one by one, carefully placing them to ensure a dense and natural-looking final outcome.
Once the fue hair restoration procedure is complete, you can expect your new hair to begin to grow within approximately three months. Within six months, you’ll notice a visible improvement in your volume and density, and your hair will continue to grow in naturally until you see a full head of hair when you look in the mirror.
A revolutionary way to treat hair loss, FUE can be an ideal procedure for many patients. Even those who were not considered candidates for hair transplants in the past, such as people with curly hair, can qualify for FUE hair restoration. To confirm your candidacy and begin planning your procedure, we invite you to schedule a consultation with Dr. Sukkar today.
For some, hair loss can be embarrassing, or even the first signs of aging. Luckily there is a solution to this issue, that can give you the confidence you deserve.
A hat that stimulates hair growth may sound like science fiction, but laser hair caps are a reality. Finding the right hair restoration treatment can be confusing, as there are a range of surgical and non-surgical methods now available. A laser hair cap can help you trigger new hair growth without surgery, scars, medications, or office visits. Laser hair caps work to regenerate hair growth on your own time without interfering with your daily life.
Hair loss affects millions of adults every year, and those who decide to undergo treatment in the early stages can benefit from a laser hair cap. You may be a good candidate if:
If you already enjoy wearing hats, it will be easy to transition to a laser hair cap. The cap itself can fit comfortably under most sports caps, so you can integrate hair regeneration technology into your lifestyle, while wearing your favorite hat styles.
A laser hair cap uses laser technology that was previously only available through a licensed hair restoration professional and in-office treatments.
That same laser technology has now been integrated into an easy-to-use cap that delivers laser light to your scalp for just a few minutes a day. This system is FDA approved for hair restoration. Looking for a lasercap in Houston? We can help. The cap can easily be worn while you’re at work, running errands, or relaxing at home.
The treatment is pain-free, and the cap is discreet so you can wear it wherever your life takes you, and style it according to your taste. The cap does not require additional medication or creams, but can be combined with other treatments to produce optimal results. Looking for a lasercap in Houston? We can help.
Dr. Sukkar is a board-certified plastic surgeon practicing in Houston, and has many years of experience in hair restoration. He has gathered together the most effective, non-surgical hair restoration treatments for patients who need help with balding or thinning hair. Watching your hairline recede or your hair become thin and fine can be very distressing. Look and feel younger with one of the best laser hair cap treatments Houston has to offer.
Laser hair caps utilize low-level laser technology, or LLLT. The laser produces a light precise frequency to stimulate hair growth without damaging surrounding tissues or producing any discomfort or sensation.
The light energy stimulates inactive hair follicles and increases cellular respiration in the area to initiate new, healthy, hair growth. Your laser hair cap needs only to be worn for a few minutes a day, so it can be integrated into your daily routine whenever and wherever is most convenient for you. The cap is battery powered, so there are no visible wires or other indications that reveals you are busy undergoing a hair restoration treatment. Finally, the cap also has an opaque material around the outer edge that does not allow light through, so you have no worries about visible light.
The Laser caps in Houston offer a non-surgical hair restoration alternative with no downtime, and no recovery time. You won’t need incisions, harvesting of hair follicles, stitches, or anesthesia. Treatment with a laser cap does not involve lengthy office visits, and you can simply perform short treatments that fit conveniently into your schedule and periodic follow-up appointments with Dr. Sukkar to monitor your progress.
Those with more extensive hair loss can combine a laser hair cap with another form of treatment to achieve even more dramatic improvements in hair regrowth. What hair restoration will be most effective for you? A personal consultation will reveal what procedure, or combination of procedures is appropriate for your individual condition, whether the laser hair cap, or a combination of treatments to trigger hair follicles to once again produce hair strands, and existing follicles to produce thicker, healthier strands of natural hair.
PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, has revolutionized regenerative and cosmetic procedures.
One popular use for PRP is hair regeneration for patients living with the early stages of hair loss. Thinning hair affects a vast majority of people, both men and women, as they enter their thirties, forties, and beyond. Some patients are genetically programmed for baldness as early as their twenties. The early stages of balding can negatively impact your self-confidence or make you look far older than you are. PRP hair treatment in Houston offers a natural, non-surgical way to boost hair growth and help trigger the body to produce more natural hair in the thinning areas.
PRP for hair loss is a safe and effective treatment that utilizes your body’s natural growth factors to jumpstart the growth phase of your hair follicles. The minimally-invasive procedure involves little to no downtime and results in natural hair growth.
PRP hair treatment does not involve harvesting hair follicles or other surgical techniques. Your body’s own cell regeneration processes do all the work for an all-natural procedure without the need for incisions, stitches, or the other drawbacks associated with more invasive hair restoration techniques. A surgical hair restoration treatment could be enhanced with a PRP treatments to aid in follicle transplant viability.
Although you may be prone to losing a few hairs each day, it does not lead to noticeable hair loss as the follicle is still active and will regrow the hair.
When the follicle becomes inactive, it is inevitable that you will experience thinning hair, the initial signs of baldness, or a receding hairline. Hair loss is associated with various medical conditions and environmental factors, including:
Millions of people are affected by hair loss every year, many experiencing the first signs of balding early as their teens or twenties. There are numerous treatment options available at our Houston clinic, including non-surgical PRP hair treatments.
PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, is produced from your own blood. Blood is made up of several components. The majority of the liquid in blood is plasma, but it also contains red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
While platelets are critical for blood clotting, they also have specialized body proteins called “growth factors.” These growth factors perform an important task in natural hair restoration. After a small quantity of blood is collected, the sample is placed in a centrifuge for about 15 to 20 minutes.
The spinning process separates the blood, concentrating the growth factors and other healing and regenerative elements. The resulting serum is a potent mixture of many different growth factors that contribute to your body’s cell regeneration and healing processes. Since the discovery of PRP and its natural healing powers, it has been integrated into many medical and cosmetic procedures. The growth factors can be used in a variety of applications, and is easily combined with other treatments to enhance results and speed healing.
Once you arrive at The Clinic for Plastic Surgery in Houston, TX, we will take a sample of your blood to produce the needed PRP for your treatment. The PRP is then injected directly into your scalp where you have thinning areas or the early signs of balding and need to stimulate new natural hair growth. The entire procedure is quick and relatively painless. The PRP hair treatment can require as little as thirty minutes, and typically no longer than an hour. Patients typically report the procedure as being easy to tolerate. The sensation is similar to the experience of any injection.
PRP hair loss treatment involves minimal recovery time. No strong sedatives are used during the procedure, so you can easily resume your normal routine after your treatment is completed. You may need to avoid vigorous activity or exercise for one or two days. The PRP immediately gets to work activating your body’s natural healing and regenerative processes.
PRP hair loss treatments in Houston can also be combined with a range of other hair restoration techniques.
Your new hair growth starts deep in the scalp, and requires time to reach the surface and become long enough to provide noticeable results. However, most patients notice an improvement in three to six months after PRP hair injections of growth. You may need additional treatments to achieve the desired restored hair, and to maintain results.
Depending on the degree of thinning, Dr. Sukkar may also recommend another treatment or topical hair growth medication to enhance results. PRP hair treatment is versatile, as it uses your own blood to stimulate natural regeneration of hair follicles, and is easily combined with other treatments.
PRP injections are one of the safest forms of hair restoration available today. The use of your own cells drastically lower the risk of rejection or infection as the body will always accept its own cells without issues. The PRP provides the scalp with a heavy boost of critical growth factors, an all-natural anti-aging, regenerative treatment. This groundbreaking procedure can be combined with other hair restoration treatments, and can aid in healing after a hair follicle harvesting procedure. As a stand-alone treatment, PRP hair restoration does not involve incisions or sutures, reducing recovery time and the risk of having visible scars. For patients who see the early signs of balding, we urge you to find out more about PRP hair restoration. The earlier you start this advanced treatment, the better it can be for warding off future hair loss.

He stays current on the latest advancements and techniques in hair restoration for the benefit of his patients suffering from hair loss.

If the FUE approach to hair restoration appeals to you, there is good news. Thanks to a recent breakthrough, a surgical procedure is now available that can help maximize results and reduce the recovery time and scarring associated with older methods of hair restoration, NeoGraft. This system involves no stitches, no staples, and no linear scar.
The NeoGraft system offers a sophisticated, automated technique for achieving the promise of FUE.
The precision that it offers can result in more natural results and decreased recovery time, without leaving a linear scar. If you’d like to improve areas of thinning hair without drawing undue attention to yourself, or being forced to go into hiding to heal for extended period, NeoGraft is an exciting new option. Our Houston NeoGraft Hair Transplant programs serves both men and women.
The NeoGraft device uses suction (pneumatic pressure) to gently remove donor hair follicles.
This reduces the possibility that the donor follicle will be damaged. Remember, this process is automated and can be adjusted as needed for any skin type. Automation also means that every graft is uniform, a factor that can help you achieve a more natural result when the donor follicles are implanted. After harvesting is complete, hair follicles are loaded into a second pneumatic instrument and gently implanted at the target site(s).
In addition to the control and consistency that this system provides, it is significantly faster than manual harvesting and implantation. Your path to the hairline that you desire is that much shorter and virtually pain-free.
Both men and women can benefit from a NeoGraft procedure. It is appropriate for those who wear their hair long as well as those with shorter hair. (In fact, it is a superior option for those who prefer short back or side hair.) It can be provided to patients of any ethnicity or skin type.
Your doctor will make the final determination regarding your eligibility for neograft, but there are certain factors that will increase the likelihood that it will be the right choice for you.
Your hair loss should not be so advanced that the supply of donor follicles could be insufficient. It is best if your general health is good. If you have had an earlier procedure that left you with a visible and embarrassing linear scar, a NeoGraft treatment can be an excellent way to help you disguise it. Imagine the relief that could bring.
Do you really have to continue to live each day hoping that others won’t really see you? What if you could make a real step toward the look that you want, and do so through a process that is simple, gentle, precise and non-invasive? What if your recovery could be swift and you could resume your life after a short rest with a refreshed appearance and new confidence?
If your hair loss problems are robbing your life of some of the happiness and satisfaction you deserve, there is no better time than now to get hair restoration treatment. Make an appointment to learn even more about our FUE and the NeoGraft Houston system, get your questions answered, and find out of you are a candidate for the procedure.
