FUE Hair Transplant (Follicular Unit Extraction)

Follicular Unit Extraction, or FUE hair transplant, is a minimally invasive hair restoration procedure in which individual hair follicles are removed one at a time from a donor area typically the back or sides of the scalp and transplanted into areas of thinning or hair loss. Because FUE does not require removing a strip of scalp tissue, it leaves no linear scar, results in a faster recovery, and allows patients to return to normal activity within days. This technique is well suited to patients seeking a natural-looking hairline, those who prefer to wear their hair short, and anyone looking for a hair transplant with minimal downtime. At Golden State Dermatology, our board-certified specialists use advanced FUE technology to maximize graft survival and deliver dense, natural-looking results tailored to each patient’s hair pattern and goals.

FUT Hair Transplant (Follicular Unit Transplantation)

Follicular Unit Transplantation, commonly known as FUT or the “strip method,” is a hair restoration technique in which a thin strip of donor tissue is surgically removed from the back of the scalp, dissected into individual follicular units under magnification, and transplanted into the recipient area. FUT remains one of the most effective options for patients who need a high graft count in a single session, making it a popular choice for those with more advanced hair loss or larger areas to cover. While FUT does leave a fine linear scar that is typically concealed by surrounding hair, it offers excellent graft yield and long-term density. Our team at Golden State Dermatology carefully evaluates each patient’s scalp laxity, donor supply, and restoration goals to determine whether FUT is the right approach for lasting, natural results.

Megasession Hair Transplants

A Megasession hair transplant refers to a large-scale hair restoration procedure in which several thousand grafts are transplanted in a single sitting, allowing patients with extensive hair loss to achieve significant coverage without undergoing multiple separate surgeries. Megasessions require a highly experienced surgical team, meticulous graft handling, and careful planning to preserve graft viability throughout the extended procedure. This approach is ideal for patients with advanced pattern baldness or large areas of thinning who want to minimize total recovery time and treatment visits while maximizing density in fewer procedures. At Golden State Dermatology, our specialists are experienced in performing high-graft-count Megasessions safely and efficiently, helping patients achieve a fuller, natural-looking head of hair in the most streamlined way possible.

Direct Implant (DHI) Hair Restoration

Combination hair transplants integrate more than one restoration technique such as FUE, FUT, or Direct Implant within a single treatment plan to address complex or extensive hair loss. By combining methods, our specialists can maximize graft yield from the donor area while using more precise techniques in visible zones like the hairline, giving patients the benefits of each approach where it matters most. Combination procedures are often recommended for patients who have previously undergone a hair transplant and need additional density, as well as those with significant hair loss who want to optimize both coverage and natural appearance in a single, coordinated plan. At Golden State Dermatology, our team designs individualized combination approaches based on each patient’s donor supply, hair loss pattern, and aesthetic goals.

Hairline Lowering

Hairline lowering is a hair restoration procedure designed for patients with a naturally high or receded hairline who want to bring their hairline forward for a more balanced, proportionate facial appearance. Depending on the degree of scalp laxity and the patient’s goals, hairline lowering can be performed through strategic hair transplantation techniques such as FUE or FUT along the frontal hairline. This procedure is commonly sought by patients with a congenitally high forehead or those looking to soften a receding hairline in a natural, undetectable way. Golden State Dermatology’s specialists assess scalp flexibility, hair density, and facial proportions to recommend the safest and most effective approach to achieving a natural, aesthetically balanced hairline.

Hairline Design

Hairline design is the artistic and technical planning process that shapes the outcome of any hair transplant or hairline-lowering procedure. A well-designed hairline considers facial symmetry, age-appropriate positioning, hair density, growth direction, and the natural irregularity found in a genuine, undisturbed hairline avoiding the overly straight or unnatural look that can result from poor planning. Because the hairline frames the entire face, thoughtful design is one of the most important factors in achieving results that look completely natural. At Golden State Dermatology, our team draws on extensive experience in facial aesthetics and hair restoration to design hairlines tailored to each patient’s unique features, ensuring results that age well and blend seamlessly with existing hair.

Microneedling with Biologics for Hair Restoration

Microneedling with biologics is a non-surgical or adjunctive hair restoration treatment that combines controlled micro-injury to the scalp with the application of biologic solutions such as growth-factor-rich serums such as exosomes. peptides and pharmaceuticals to stimulate follicle activity and support healthier hair growth. The microneedling process creates tiny channels in the scalp that enhance the absorption of biologic agents while also triggering the body’s natural healing response, which can help awaken dormant follicles and improve overall scalp health. This treatment is often used as a standalone option for patients in the earlier stages of thinning, or as an adjunct therapy to a hair transplant to support graft survival and improve results after surgery. Golden State Dermatology offers microneedling with biologics and pharmaceuticals as part of a comprehensive, dermatology-led approach to hair restoration, personalized to each patient’s stage of hair loss and treatment goals.

Eyebrow Transplant

An eyebrow transplant is a precision hair restoration procedure in which individual hair follicles. typically harvested from the scalp using FUE technique are transplanted into the brow area to restore fullness, density, and shape. This procedure is commonly sought by patients with thin, sparse, or over-plucked eyebrows, as well as those who have experienced eyebrow hair loss due to trauma, scarring, alopecia, or aggressive cosmetic tweezing over the years. Because eyebrow hair grows in a distinct pattern with varying angles and directions, successful results depend heavily on meticulous graft placement and an artistic eye for natural symmetry. At Golden State Dermatology, our specialists carefully map each patient’s facial structure and desired brow shape before transplanting grafts one by one, resulting in fuller, natural-looking eyebrows that frame the face and require no daily makeup application.

Surgical

Body Hair Transplant

A body hair transplant is a hair restoration option in which follicles are harvested from areas of the body outside the scalp such as the chest, back, or legs and transplanted to the scalp, beard, or other areas in need of additional density. This technique is particularly valuable for patients with limited scalp donor supply due to extensive hair loss or prior transplant procedures, as it opens up additional sources of viable grafts. Because body hair often differs in texture, growth cycle, and caliber from scalp hair, careful graft selection and strategic placement are essential to blending results naturally with existing hair. Golden State Dermatology’s team evaluates each patient’s donor availability across the scalp and body to determine whether body hair transplantation can help achieve the fullest, most natural-looking outcome possible.

Facial Masculinization Hair Restoration (Transgender Masculinization)

Facial masculinization hair restoration is a specialized hair transplant service for transgender and non-binary patients pursuing a more masculine facial appearance as part of their transition. This treatment combines scalp and facial hair restoration techniques including eyebrow shaping, sideburn restoration, beard transplantation, and mustache transplantation to help build a fuller, more traditionally masculine hair pattern across the face. Using FUE and related transplant methods, our specialists transplant individual follicles to create natural-looking sideburns that connect smoothly to the beard line, a fuller mustache, and a well-defined beard and jawline, all tailored to each patient’s facial structure and personal goals. Golden State Dermatology approaches masculinizing hair restoration with an individualized, patient-centered process, working closely with each patient to design a natural, cohesive facial hair pattern that supports their transition goals.

Surgical

Feminization Hair Restoration (Transgender Feminization)

Feminization hair restoration is a specialized hair transplant service for transgender and non-binary patients seeking a softer, more traditionally feminine hairline and frame as part of their transition. This treatment typically focuses on lowering and rounding the frontal hairline, softening the temporal points, filling in areas of temporal recession, and creating fuller density at the crown to support a rounder, more traditionally feminine overall shape. Using FUE and other transplant techniques often alongside surgical hairline lowering when appropriate our specialists carefully design and place grafts to achieve natural density along the hairline, temples, part line, and crown, avoiding the more angular, receded pattern typical of a masculine hairline. Golden State Dermatology takes an individualized, patient-centered approach to feminizing hair restoration, working closely with each patient to design a hairline and crown pattern that complements their facial proportions and supports their transition goals.
