What Is A Hair Transplant
Hair Transplant Explained: What You Need to Know
At Pawlinga Hair Restoration, Dr. Christopher Pawlinga provides advanced, natural-looking hair transplant solutions for patients throughout Latham, Albany, Schenectady, and the Capital Region of New York. If you’re experiencing hair thinning or hair loss, a hair transplant offers a permanent, proven way to restore your hair and confidence.
What Is a Hair Transplant?
A hair transplant is a medical procedure that redistributes your own healthy hair follicles—typically from the back or sides of the scalp—to areas where hair is thinning or absent. Because it uses your natural hair, the results grow, blend, and look completely authentic.
How Does It Work?
Dr. Pawlinga specializes in modern hair restoration techniques, including:
• FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction): Individual follicles are carefully removed and implanted for a minimally invasive approach.
• FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation): A strip of hair is used to obtain a larger number of grafts when needed.
What to Expect
• Consultation: Personalized evaluation and hairline design
• Procedure: Performed comfortably under local anesthesia
• Recovery: Minimal downtime; most return to normal activities within days
• Results: Natural growth begins within a few months, with full results over time
Is It Permanent?
Yes. Transplanted hair follicles are genetically resistant to hair loss, making results long-lasting and often permanent.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
You may be a good candidate if you:
• Are experiencing thinning hair or balding
