Possible techniques included in the Foundation method

Follicular unit extraction (FUE)

Follicular unit extraction (FUE) is a state-of-the-art hair transplant technique where individual hair follicles are meticulously extracted from a donor area, typically the back or sides of the scalp, and transplanted to areas experiencing hair loss or thinning. This method ensures virtually undetectable scarring as it involves tiny circular incisions, which heal rapidly. No-shave FUE is an advanced variation of this technique that allows the donor area to remain unshaven, maintaining the patient’s usual appearance immediately post-procedure.

Hairline lowering/forehead reduction surgery

Hairline lowering or forehead reduction surgery is a transformative procedure that decreases the height of the forehead by advancing the hairline. This involves a precise incision along the current hairline, followed by the removal of a strip of forehead skin, allowing the scalp to be moved forward. This surgery is particularly beneficial for individuals with a naturally high hairline or those seeking a more proportionate facial balance. The result is a lower, more aesthetically pleasing hairline that enhances facial harmony.

Women’s hair restoration

Women’s hair restoration addresses the unique patterns of hair loss in women, which often manifest as diffuse thinning across the scalp rather than localized bald spots. Treatments include follicular unit extraction (FUE) for targeted restoration, hairline advancement to reduce forehead height, and tailored medical therapies to address underlying hormonal or genetic causes. These approaches help restore hair volume and density, offering women a natural-looking solution to hair thinning and loss that respects female hair patterns.

Eyebrow transplantation

Eyebrow transplantation is a meticulous procedure that restores or enhances eyebrow density by transplanting hair follicles from a donor area, usually the scalp, to the eyebrow region. Each follicle is carefully implanted to match the natural eyebrow growth pattern and desired shape. This technique is perfect for individuals with thin, sparse, or absent eyebrows due to over-plucking, genetics, or medical conditions. The result is natural-looking, well-defined eyebrows that frame the face beautifully and enhance overall facial aesthetics.

Body hair transplantation

Body hair transplantation (BHT) involves using hair follicles from the beard or other body areas and transplanting them to the scalp. This technique is especially beneficial for patients with limited scalp donor hair, providing an additional source of robust, coarse hair to increase graft counts and improve overall hair density. The transplanted beard hairs blend seamlessly with the scalp hair, ensuring unsurpassed naturalness. BHT expands the donor hair pool and enhances the flexibility and effectiveness of hair restoration strategies.

Beard transplantation

Beard transplantation is a specialized procedure that enhances or creates beard density by transplanting hair follicles from the scalp or other donor areas to the beard region. This is ideal for individuals with patchy or uneven beard growth or those unable to grow a beard. The procedure involves the careful placement of each follicle to match the natural beard growth pattern, resulting in a fuller, natural-looking beard that complements the patient’s facial features. This procedure not only enhances facial aesthetics but also boosts self-confidence.

Reparative hair procedures

Reparative hair procedures correct and improve the outcomes of previous hair restoration surgeries. These procedures may involve removing and re-implanting poorly placed grafts, addressing scarring from prior surgeries, and enhancing overall hair density and appearance. The goal is to restore a natural look and achieve optimal hair growth patterns, rectifying any issues from earlier procedures. Patients benefit from renewed confidence and satisfaction with their hair restoration results.

Transgender hair procedures

Transgender hair procedures offer customized solutions to address the unique hair restoration needs of individuals undergoing gender transition. These procedures may include hairline feminization or masculinization, facial hair transplantation, and other techniques to align the patient’s hair growth with their gender identity. By creating a harmonious appearance, these treatments support individuals in their transition, helping them achieve their desired aesthetic and reinforcing their gender identity through personalized hair restoration strategies.

Customized medical therapy

Customized medical therapy involves developing personalized treatment plans based on genetic testing and individual patient needs. These therapies can include topical solutions like minoxidil, oral medications such as finasteride, and other interventions designed to slow hair loss, stimulate new hair growth, and enhance the results of surgical procedures. Personalized medical treatments ensure that each patient receives the most effective regimen tailored to their specific hair loss condition and genetic predisposition.

PRP

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a regenerative treatment that uses a concentration of the patient’s own platelets, which are rich in growth factors, to stimulate hair growth. During the procedure, a small amount of the patient’s blood is drawn and processed to isolate the PRP, which is injected into the scalp. The growth factors in PRP promote healing and regeneration of hair follicles, enhancing hair density and strength. PRP is often used as an adjunct treatment to surgical hair restoration to boost the effectiveness of transplants.

Scalp micropigmentation (SMP)

Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-surgical procedure that uses micro-needles to deposit pigment into the scalp, creating the appearance of fuller hair. This technique can camouflage thinning areas and scars and provide the illusion of a closely shaved scalp. SMP is ideal for individuals who prefer a noninvasive approach to hair restoration, offering an effective solution for enhancing scalp appearance and boosting confidence without surgery. The result is a realistic and aesthetically pleasing look that complements the patient’s appearance.

Combining hair restoration and plastic surgery

The Foundation method uniquely integrates hair restoration with advanced plastic surgery techniques, offering a comprehensive solution for hair loss. This approach not only addresses hair thinning and balding but also enhances overall facial aesthetics. By combining expertise in both fields, plastic surgeons who practice the Foundation method ensure natural-looking results through their refined aesthetic eye. It’s a brilliant synergy, leading to a world-class experience that defines the Foundation method.

Foundation method FAQs

Is the Foundation method painful?

The Foundation method uses local anesthesia during the procedure, and patients typically experience little to no pain. Post-procedure discomfort is generally mild and manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers.

Will the transplanted hair look natural?

Absolutely. The Foundation method combines medical precision with artistic skills, ensuring that transplanted hair blends seamlessly with your natural hair for unsurpassed naturalness.

What is the recovery time after the Foundation method?

Recovery time is relatively short. Most patients can return to their normal activities within a few days. Full recovery depends on the type of treatment and procedure; complete growth of transplanted hair can take several months.

Are the results of the Foundation method permanent?

Yes, the results are permanent. The transplanted hair follicles are resistant to the hormone that causes hair loss, ensuring lasting results.

How soon can I see the results?

Results depend on the type of treatment or procedure. Typically initial results can be seen within 3 months, with full results seen in about 1 year as the transplanted hair goes through its natural growth cycle.

Wanted to thank you for giving us so much time on Thursday. I don’t think I’ve ever had a more informative, not to mention, enjoyable, consultation.

I wanted to thank you again for working on my hairline, which I think is phenomenal. It has been a tremendous help to me, and it's helped me be able to transition into studying to become a physician assistant.
