Pawlinga Medical provides Physician-led Hair Restoration in Latham, NY, serving Albany, Saratoga Springs, Schenectady and the Capital Region. Christopher M. Pawlinga has 21 years of experience on Hair Restoration surgery, including FUE and FUT hair transplantation. As both a Hair Restoration surgeon and a Hair Transplant patient, Dr. Pawlinga brings a unique perspective to every Consult.

Surgical excellence shaped by personal experience means your care is guided by both advanced skill and true understanding. Dr. Pawlinga combines decades of expertise with firsthand insight into hair loss to deliver natural, confident results.
Over the course of his 20 plus year career, Dr. Pawlinga has helped thousands of patients restore their hair and confidence through surgical and non-surgical hair restoration.
Unlike many physicians who divide their time between multiple cosmetic procedures and specialties, Dr. Pawlinga has dedicated over 20 years of his career exclusively to hair restoration, focusing on both surgical and non-surgical treatments.
Dr. Pawlinga offers both Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT), allowing each patient to receive the most appropriate treatment for their specific hair loss.

Sometimes called Follicular Unit Excision, FUE is a hair transplant method in which individual hair follicles are precisely excised from the donar area (back of the head) and then transplanted into the regions experiencing hair thinning or loss. Since follicles are taken individually, it often results in small circular scaring rather than linear scaring as in an FUT procedure. Dr. Pawlinga offers FUE hair transplant procedures in his Latham, NY office and services the surrounding area of Albany, Saratoga Springs, Schenectady, the greater Capital Region and Upstate New York.

FUT is a proven hair transplant technique that allows a larger number of hair grafts to be transplanted in a single procedure. During an FUT hair transplant, a small strip of hair-bearing scalp is carefully removed from the donor area and the individual follicular units are then prepared and transplanted to the area of thinning or baldness. This technique is often recommended for patients with more advanced hair loss who require greater hair density. Dr. Pawlinga performs FUT hair transplant procedures for patients in his state of the art office located in Latham NY and serves Albany, Saratoga Springs, Schenectady and the Capital Region of Upstate New York.

Sometimes individuals seek corrective hair restoration to refine or redesign a hairline that may not match their aesthetic goals any longer. At Pawlinga Medical, Dr. Pawlinga specializes in customizing hairlines to achieve a natural harmonious look, whether it is to address a prior procedure that has left the appearance of "doll hair" created from outdated techniques or simply reshaping a hairline to better align with your personal vision. We welcome patients in our Latham, NY office and from Albany, Saratoga Springs, Schenectady, and across the greater Capital Region and beyond who are seeking tailored solutions to achieve a hairline that feels authentically theirs.

Beard restoration is a specialized hair transplant procedure designed to increase facial hair density or fill in areas where beard growth is thin or patchy. During the procedure, health hair follicles are carefully transplanted from the donor area of the scalp (the back of the head) into the beard and facial region to create a fuller, natural looking beard. This treatment can help define the bear line, fill in scars, or improve overall facial hair coverage. At Pawlinga Medical in Latham, NY Dr. Christopher Pawlinga performs beard restoratino procedures for patients throughout the Capital District, Albany, Saratoga Spring, Schenectady and Upstate New York.

Eyebrow Transplantation is a specialized hair restoration procedure designed to restore or enhance the natural appearance of the eyebrows. This treatment can help fill in thinning or sparse brows caused by over-plucking, genetics, scarring or other factors. Eyebrow restoration can also be used to reshape or redefine the brown line to better complement facial features. Using carefully transplanted hair follicles, Dr. Pawlinga creates natural-looking results tailored to each individual's goals, whether the aim is fuller brows, a refined shape, or more defined balanced appearance. At Pawlinga Medical located in Latham, NY eyebrow transplants are PERFORMED for patients throughout Albany, Saratoga Springs, Schenectady and Upstate New York.

Non-Surgical hair restoration treatments can help slow hair loss and support healthier hair growth with or without surgery. These treatments may include platelet-rich plasma (prp), low-level laser therapy, physician-guided medications, nutritional support, and other advanced therapies designed to strengthen existing hair follicles and improve hair density. At Pawlinga Medical Center for Hair Restoration located in Latham, NY Dr. Christopher Pawlinga evaluates each patient individually to determine the most appropriate combination of treatments based on the type and state of hair loss. Non-surgical options are often used alone or in combination with hair transplant procedures to help achieve the best possible long-term results for patients through Albany, Saratoga Springs, Schenectady, and Upstate New York
