SERVICES. An Overview.
Ultra Refined Follicular Unit Transplant.
Ultra Refined Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT)
​
FUT Information:
​
The process by which hair loss resistant hair is moved to the balding, recipient affected area of the scalp to create a natural and dense hairline to achieve complete patient satisfaction. This surgery is typically called a "strip" procedure.


Follicular Unit Extraction
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE):
A less invasive technique used in hair restoration surgery where there are several, smaller donor areas used instead of harvesting a strip from the back of the scalp. FUE surgery does not require the use of stitches or the use of a scalpel.
FUE Information:
FUE surgery is different from FUT surgery in that instead of the surgeon harvesting a strip of tissue from the back of the head, during an FUE surgery hair is extracted directly from the head or other region of the body one follicular unit at a time. The small opening left by the removal of the follicular unit on the scalp or other region of the body, heals within a few days. The area contracts in size as it heals which leaves a smaller, less visible scar as opposed to the FUT method.

Eyebrow / Facial Hair Restoration
Eyebrow / Facial Hair Restoration

Information:
Dr. Panine can give you fuller eyebrows or add density to select areas such as your beard, mustache or sideburn areas. Whether the loss is due to trauma, scarring or the natural aging process.

The Correction of Previous Transplant Procedures
The Correction of Previous Non-Ultra Refined Transplants :
The correction of hair transplant procedures performed by other surgeons can be difficult. Dr. Panine has provided patients, who suffered under the care of others, with a new lease on life by not only correcting old procedures but going a step further to give patients the results they wanted but didn't think they could have after a previous, failed transplant.

The video you are about to see is of a patient who had his first procedure completed by Dr. Panine three years ago, at the age of 30.
When the patient was 23 he had undergone a procedure, performed by another doctor, which left him with an undesirable hairline.

Dr. Panine was confident he could correct the patient's hairline and give him significant density.
​
Two procedures were performed and these are his video results three years later.
​
Note: some still photos are presented to show the patient's progress over the three year period. The video portion was taken three years after his procedures.
Non-Surgical Options.
Non-surgical Options:
There are non-surgical options available to those suffering from hair loss. Even if you have just started to notice thinning hair, it's important to seek a diagnosis and treatment for your hair loss. PROPECIA, Rogaine, Avodart, Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) are some of the options available. It is essential that you consult with your physician about your hair loss as non-surgical options can be used alone or in conjunction with an overall treatment plan.
​
PROPECIA Information

PROPECIA is only available by prescription so please schedule your initial consultation today and ask Dr. Panine if PROPECIA could be right for you.

New Treatment Promises to Regrow Hair Without Surgery, Drugs (11/10/14)
PLATELET-RICH PLASMA (PRP) Therapy
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) treatments use your own blood to treat thinning hair and hair loss in both men and women. The benefit is derived from using platelets, derived from a patient's own blood, which is drawn on the day of the procedure. The blood is spun in a centrifuge and the platelets are harvested and injected into the scalp. The platelets contain growth factors that stimulate regrowth and thickening of hair follicles leading to greater hair longevity.
Recently showcased on ABC News' Good Morning America (shown to the left), the treatment is "giving hope to millions of people with thinning hair. The treatment, called Platelet Rich Plasma therapy -- or PRP -- could help regrow and thicken hair without surgery, drugs or expensive treatments, experts say"- ABC News, Good Morning America airing on 11/10/14
PRP therapy could be the right treatment to address your hair loss or thinning hair so please schedule your initial consultation today and ask Dr. Panine if PRP could be right for you.
