Male pattern baldness, or androgenetic alopecia, causes over 95% of male hair loss. By age 35, two-thirds of American men notice hair loss, and by 50, about 85% have thinning hair.*
It might be surprising to learn that women make up 40% of hair loss sufferers, with consequences extending beyond physical effects, deeply impacting self-image and emotional well-being.*

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is a process where a single graft is harvested from the back of the scalp using a 1mm hand-held punch device. The harvested grafts are then transplanted to the desired area of the scalp, eyelashes, eyebrows, or bread. FUE is a very meticulous surgery. Each hair follicle is uprooted and re-homed with extra care.
At Springs Hair Restoration we are experts in several techniques such as removing a portion of skin that bears hair from a donor area. This graft is then transplanted into the recipient area, which is punched out to accommodate the graft, this is known as the Punch Technique. Another technique that we use removes the hair follicles with a wand, it extracts them with suction. We then use a special tool that makes pinpoint incisions and implants the follicles at the same time.
FUE is a hair transplant method with many benefits:
Tools for FUE NeoGraft include an automated Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). FUE is the only FDA Class 1 medical devise for hair restoration.
FUT is the process where a single strip of hair is harvested from the back of the head. It is considered as the traditional strip method or linear harvesting for hair restoration. The hair there is most resistant to falling because the receptors for hormones are unique (that’s why even in severe male pattern hair loss, the back of your scalp called the occipital hairline is preserved).
The harvested donor site is then meticulously approximated to minimize scars. Hair follicles are harvested from the donor strip. This is a meticulous process that needs an expert team. The hair follicles are then dissected while preserving their units, which is a very technical process performed under special microscopes. Our physicians supervise all these steps to ensure the hair follicles are healthy and have the highest chances of survival. Only healthy and intact hair follicles count. That’s the treatment difference at Springs Hair Restoration.
The next sequence is extremely delicate, each hair follicle graft is transplanted into the desired area. Each graft is placed to create a natural look thus achieving an aesthetically pleasing hairline. Because this is as much an art as a science, understanding your hair texture, quality and orientation are invaluable. Understanding your hairline and an age-appropriate hairline is even more invaluable. We are experts who strive for the best outcome possible for you. At Springs Hair Restoration in Sandy Springs and Metro Atlanta you know you’re in professional hands when it comes to Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT).
Both methods have their advantages and are chosen based on individual patient needs and preferences.
Pros of FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction):
1. Minimally Invasive: Less noticeable scarring, ideal for short hairstyles.
2. Faster Recovery: Reduced downtime compared to FUT.
3. Less Discomfort: Typically less postoperative pain and discomfort.
Cons of FUE:
1. Time-Consuming: Longer procedure time as each follicle is extracted individually.
2. Higher Cost: Generally more expensive due to the meticulous nature of the extraction.
Pros of FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation):
1. Efficiency: More follicles can be transplanted in a single session.
2. Cost-Effective: Typically less expensive per graft.
Cons of FUT:
1. Linear Scarring: Leaves a noticeable linear scar, especially in short hairstyles.
2. Longer Recovery: More postoperative discomfort and a longer healing period.
Not everyone is a candidate for an FUT (Follicular Unit Transplant) transplant, especially people who like to wear their hair short. Not everyone is a candidate for an FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) transplant either as it depends on the hair density. Luckily at Springs Hair Restoration in Sandy Spring and Metro Atlanta, we specialize in both surgical options and can advise you on whether FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is right for you.
A successful hair transplant can significantly boost an individual's self-esteem and overall well-being. Regaining a full head of hair can restore a person's youthful appearance, making them feel more confident in social and professional settings. It can also reduce the anxiety and self-consciousness associated with hair loss, allowing individuals to engage more freely in activities without worrying about their appearance. The transformation goes beyond the physical, positively impacting mental and emotional health. See the transformation results and testimonials from our patients.

(Long Post Alert...but worth the read!)
A few months ago, I decided to consider a hairline transplant. After doing some research, I became interested in the FUT process. I was still determining where to begin, so I initially went to what I had seen for years on TV, Bosley. The consultation was excellent, but I felt too many people between me and the surgeon performing the procedure. I wanted that direct interaction to ensure I got what I wanted in my design. I went to a second, Dr. P, but it wasn’t the right fit for me, then I was referred to Dr. Zack Charkawi. From the moment I sat down with him at his desk, I knew he was the one.

As a healthcare provider, I am very particular who I choose for my own healthcare needs. I completed my 4th hair restoration procedure with Dr. Zach, and I am extremely pleased with the outcome. Dr. Zach's professionalism was evident at my initial consultation, where he spent time discussing the procedure, pertinent research, and most importantly the realist expectations; he did not "over sell" the procedure. He also is the only practitioner that I am aware of who uses a specific anesthesia technique that dramatically decreased the procedural discomfort. He was very thorough during the procedure, covering all of the necessary areas. I highly recommend him and his staff without reservations!
My husband had a fantastic experience with Dr.Zack! It took him a while to find the best doctor for hair transplant. He had many consultations before choosing his clinic. The polish and professionalism of Dr. Zack and his team is excellent! My husband was very happy with the results of the procedure. We could never have asked for a better experience! I will be highly recommending him to my friends!
Dr Charkawi was fantastic. He really made me feel at ease and went above and beyond to make sure that I was happy with my hair. Also it’s a beautiful, clean office with a sister location for follow ups or further needs which is very helpful. Overall very satisfied customer.
