What Is Hair Grafting?

Hair grafting is a surgical procedure that involves harvesting healthy hair follicles from one area of the scalp and transplanting them to areas experiencing thinning or hair loss. These follicles continue to grow naturally in their new location.

This procedure is commonly used to restore the hairline, fill in thinning areas, and improve overall density. At SOMA, hair grafting is performed with attention to detail, ensuring that each graft is placed in a way that mimics natural growth patterns.

Understanding Hair Loss in Men

Hair loss in men is typically progressive and influenced by genetics and hormones. It often begins with a receding hairline or thinning at the crown. Because hair loss can continue over time, treatment planning must account for both current concerns and future changes. At SOMA, hair grafting is approached strategically to ensure that results remain balanced as hair patterns evolve. This long-term perspective is key to achieving natural-looking outcomes.

Your Consultation

Your consultation at SOMA is designed to be detailed and individualized, focusing on your hair pattern, scalp health, and long-term goals.

You will meet with a qualified provider who will evaluate donor hair availability, the extent of hair loss, and the quality of existing hair. This assessment helps determine the most effective approach and the number of grafts needed. The consultation also includes a discussion of expectations, timelines, and maintenance, ensuring that your plan is both realistic and comprehensive.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Hair Grafting?

Hair grafting is ideal for men with sufficient donor hair who are experiencing thinning or localized hair loss. Candidates are typically in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the outcome.

Those with stable or predictable patterns of hair loss often achieve the most consistent results. Men seeking a natural improvement rather than a complete restoration of youthful density are often the best candidates.

What to Expect During Your Procedure

Hair grafting is typically performed under local anesthesia as an outpatient procedure.

Follicle Harvesting

Hair follicles are carefully extracted from a donor area, usually at the back or sides of the scalp, where hair is more resistant to thinning.

Graft Preparation

Each follicle is prepared for placement to ensure it remains viable and capable of healthy growth.

Precise Placement

The grafts are then strategically placed in the target areas, following natural hair growth patterns and angles. This step is critical to achieving a natural appearance.

Hair Grafting Recovery

Recovery after hair grafting is generally straightforward, with most patients returning to normal activities within a few days. In the initial phase, mild swelling, redness, and sensitivity in both the donor and treatment areas are common. These symptoms improve steadily with proper care. Small scabs may form around the grafts and typically resolve within a week to ten days.

Hair Growth Timeline

Transplanted hairs may shed in the early stages, which is a normal part of the process. New growth typically begins within a few months, with continued improvement over time. Full results develop gradually, often becoming more noticeable between several months and one year after the procedure.

Hair Grafting Frequently Asked Questions

Will the transplanted hair look natural?

Yes, when grafts are placed with proper technique and attention to growth patterns, the results are designed to look natural. The goal is to match the direction and density of existing hair.

Is hair grafting permanent?

Transplanted hair follicles are typically permanent because they are taken from areas resistant to hair loss. However, surrounding natural hair may continue to thin over time.

How long does the procedure take?

The length of the procedure depends on the number of grafts being placed. Most sessions take several hours to complete.

When will I see results after hair grafting?

Initial shedding may occur, followed by new growth beginning within a few months. Full results typically develop over several months to a year.

Will I need more than one treatment?

Some patients may benefit from additional sessions depending on the extent of hair loss and desired density. This is discussed during your consultation.
