What is male hair restoration?
Fuller hair. Renewed confidence.
Hair loss costs more than appearance; it changes how a man carries himself. Dr. Palladino performs follicular transplantation that grows in like your own hair, because it is your own hair.
Thinning hair wears on a man's confidence in a way few men talk about. Hair restoration moves active, healthy follicles into the areas with little or no growth. The transplanted hair is your own, so it grows in like the rest of it.
What you can expect
- A more masculine, youthful appearance
- Boosted self-confidence
- Fuller, thicker hair that grows naturally
- Long-lasting results tailored to your anatomy
All surgery carries risks and every patient is different. Candidacy, realistic expectations, and your personalised plan are determined during your one-on-one consultation with Dr. Palladino.
Male hair restoration options
FUT or FUE, precision matched to you
Dr. Palladino performs two proven follicular transplantation techniques. The right approach depends on the degree of hair loss, hair length, and your specific aesthetic goals.
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)
For moderate to severe hair loss
- Outpatient procedure performed under local anesthesia; oral sedation offered for a more relaxing experience
- A thin strip of follicles is removed from the posterior scalp
- Follicles are precisely transplanted into thinning or balding areas
- Ideal for patients who have experienced moderate to severe hair loss
- Allows transplantation of a large number of grafts in a single session
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
For mild to moderate hair loss
- Outpatient procedure performed under local anesthesia; oral sedation offered for a more relaxing experience
- Individual follicles are removed for inconspicuous hair grafting
- Ideal for patients who have experienced mild to moderate hair loss and have short hair
- This technique leaves no scars on the donor site
- Minimal downtime and a discreet, natural-looking result
Beyond the scalp
Besides the scalp, other areas commonly addressed with hair transplantation include the beard, mustache, sideburns, and brows. This technique also addresses irregular hair distribution and can cover or camouflage scars in these areas.
Are you a candidate?
Preparing for your hair restoration
The best candidates for male hair restoration suffer from androgenic hair loss (known as male pattern baldness) and have enough active hair to move to the thinning or bald areas. For a successful hair graft, the donor area should be full of healthy hair that is not in the process of falling out.
At your initial consultation, Dr. Palladino will assess your hair loss, tell you whether you qualify for male hair restoration, and outline an approach for your concerns. It is also the right time to go over your health history and what you want the result to look like.
If male hair restoration is appropriate for your needs, Dr. Palladino will provide you with detailed preoperative directions to prepare you for the procedure. Male hair restoration patients must not use tobacco products for at least two weeks before and after treatment to ensure optimal healing. It is also recommended that you arrange for someone to drive you to and from the facility on the day of your appointment.

Recovery
What to expect after your procedure
Recovery from male hair restoration is generally manageable. Most patients return to their daily routine within a few days.
Immediately after
Bandages must be worn over the treated area. Some tenderness is expected; pain can be managed with prescription medication provided by Dr. Palladino.
Days 3 – 5
Most patients can return to work and their daily activities within three to five days. Following all aftercare instructions helps ensure recovery goes as quickly and comfortably as possible.
Weeks to months
Transplanted hairs may shed for a while; that is normal. New growth usually starts within a few months and fills in the treated areas from there.
Long-lasting results
Male hair restoration results are considered long lasting to permanent. Dr. Palladino will provide more information regarding typical graft success rates during your consultation.
