“I am so happy to be able to offer hair transplants to our patients.

Post this

Fairfax, VA (PRWEB) December 16, 2014 -- The Bitar Cosmetic Surgery Institute, a top plastic surgery practice with 2 locations in Fairfax and Manassas, Virginia, have introduced the addition of Hair Transplants or Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) to the practice’s list of services and treatments. With the recent addition of a hair transplant treatment room to their state-of-the-art office in Fairfax, the practice is now equipped to treat men and women looking to regain hair loss caused by a wide range of conditions including male pattern baldness, after facelift or brow lift hair loss, alopecia, and acid hair burns caused by weaves or perms.

“I am so happy to be able to offer hair transplants to our patients,” said Dr. George Bitar, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Medical Director at Bitar Cosmetic Surgery Institute. “With the development of Follicular Unit Extraction, we can now create a much more natural result for patients. The days of barbie doll hair plugs are over. I have been watching this field develop and improve since my fellowship training with Dr. Pitanguy in Rio de Janeiro, the world’s preeminent plastic surgeon, where I first learned about hair transplantation. I waited for the right time to make our entrance into the field, and that time is now.”

Hair transplant patients will be treated by a team led by Dr. Bitar which includes highly trained and experienced technicians, nurses, medical assistants, and patient care coordinators. Patients will be treated in an environment designed specifically for their treatment and care, making the overall experience as pleasant and comfortable as possible.

What is Follicular Unit Extraction?

Follicular Unit Extraction – FUE is a hair harvesting method of hair transplantation surgery in which individual natural hair groupings called follicular units – FU are removed by surgically separating them one by one from their natural location which is typically the back and sides of the head. Then the hair is planted, resulting in a natural-looking coverage of hair in the bald area and avoidance of linear or punch-graft-scarring in the donor area. Because the extraction wounds are tiny, they typically heal with cosmetically insignificant scars.

FUE enables the patient more hair grooming options including shorter haircuts without the fear of exposing a linear scar. The fear of exposing a linear scar is a concern for patients that undergo follicular unit strip surgery (FUSS); in most cases of FUSS, hair in the back and front must be kept long to conceal the linear scar, with anxiety about exposing the scar in windy and swimming situations. The FUE procedure minimizes visible scarring and achieves cosmetically aesthetic results via the tiny punch grafts.

The Hair Restoration Market Today

According to research conducted by the International Society of Hair Restoration(ISHRS), the market for hair restoration has increased 47.9% since 2008, with 35 million men and 21 million women in the U.S. experiencing hair loss. The US market accounts for 45% of all hair transplant surgeries, with Asia being second with 25% market share and Europe third with only 13%.
