What Causes Hair Loss?
Hair loss can occur gradually, and for many, it’s a frustrating experience. Men often notice a receding hairline or thinning at the crown, while women may experience diffuse thinning or specific patches of hair loss. Whether subtle or more noticeable, these changes can have a significant impact on your confidence and overall appearance. Genetics is the most common cause of hair loss, but other factors can also contribute, including:
What is Hair Restoration?
Hair Restoration is more than just a procedure—it’s a way to regain the hair you’ve lost and boost your self-esteem. At Core Plastic Surgery, we offer several cutting-edge techniques to help you achieve natural-looking results. Whether through advanced surgical methods or non-invasive treatments, our goal is to provide a solution that fits your specific needs. Here’s a look at the techniques we offer:
FUE is the foundation of modern Hair Restoration. Using this technique, we extract hair follicles one by one from a donor area and implant them into thinning or bald areas. Because there are no large incisions involved, healing time is faster, and the results are more natural. This method is especially effective for people who want a less invasive option without the hassle of significant downtime. Learn more about FUE Hair Restoration here. The two types of FUE Hair Restoration offered at Core Plastic Surgery are listed below: ARTAS & NeoGraft.
When you want the best in technology, ARTAS is the answer. This robotic system uses artificial intelligence (AI) to choose and transplant the healthiest hair follicles with incredible precision. It’s like having a high-tech assistant ensuring that each follicle is placed perfectly for optimal growth. ARTAS is FDA-cleared and offers a virtually painless experience with a shorter recovery time. You get long-lasting, natural results that look like you never had a procedure in the first place.

NeoGraft is a game-changer in the world of Hair Restoration. This method uses Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) to take individual hair follicles from areas with healthy hair growth (like the back of your head) and transplant them to areas where you're experiencing hair loss. The best part? There’s no linear scar, and recovery is quicker compared to older methods. NeoGraft is perfect if you’re looking for a solution that leaves no visible scars and gives you natural results. You can learn more about NeoGraft here.
For those looking to avoid surgery altogether, LaserCap offers a non-invasive option. Using low-level laser therapy (LLLT), LaserCap stimulates your scalp to promote natural hair growth. This treatment is ideal for early-stage hair loss and is painless, with no downtime required. You can even combine it with other procedures to enhance results.

What Are the Benefits of Hair Restoration?
Choosing Hair Restoration at Core Plastic Surgery offers a host of benefits, not just for your hair but for your overall confidence and quality of life. Here’s what you can expect:
Am I a Good Candidate for Hair Restoration?
If you’ve noticed your hair thinning or balding and you still have areas of healthy hair growth (typically at the back of your scalp), you’re likely a good candidate for Hair Restoration. Our techniques, like FUE and ARTAS, are designed for men and women who are in good health and want a natural solution to hair loss. Whether your hair loss is due to genetics, age, or other factors, Dr. Core can create a personalized plan just for you.
Consultation and Preparation
Your Hair Restoration journey starts with a personalized consultation. Dr. Core will take a close look at your hair loss, discuss your goals, and recommend the best treatment option for you. We’ll also guide you through how to prepare for your procedure—whether it’s something simple like LaserCap or more involved like NeoGraft. You’ll receive all the details you need, including what to avoid beforehand and how to ensure a smooth recovery.
What Happens During the Hair Restoration Procedure?
Your Hair Restoration procedure depends on the method you choose. For NeoGraft, and ARTAS, we use local anesthesia to keep you comfortable during the process. The procedure can take several hours, as we carefully extract and transplant each follicle. For LaserCap, no anesthesia is needed, and sessions are much shorter. Dr. Core and his team will be with you every step of the way, making sure you understand what to expect.
Hair Restoration results won’t happen overnight, but they’re worth the wait! You’ll start seeing new hair growth in about 3-6 months, with full results visible after 12-18 months. Recovery varies depending on the procedure—surgical options like NeoGraft and ARTAS may involve some swelling and discomfort, but most patients are back to their normal activities quickly. We’ll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions, including how to care for your scalp, what activities to avoid, and how to maintain your new hair.
