"The procedure went exceptionally well and there is absolutely no detectable scarring in the donor area. The pain was almost non-existent. I took Tylenol one night and that was it. Despite being somewhat of a high maintenance patient with very high expectations these guys really delivered. The biggest surprise was that I actually had a great time during my procedure." - Rob

The GHI FUE Technique

GHI's Follicular Unit Extraction Technique is an advanced hair loss replacement treatment that has evolved over the better part of this decade into the most patient-friendly and minimally invasive alternative to androgenic alopecia, otherwise known as hormonal hair loss.

The stigma of hair loss replacement procedures are antiquated and hardly applicable in today's advanced scientific arena. We gladly debunk the following myths regarding hair loss replacement when performed with our FUE treatment.


The procedure is extremely painful.”
MYTH

The GHI FUE Technique - Follicular Unit Extraction - is the most minimally invasive and least painful hair loss replacement solution. With other methods of hair loss replacement such as strip surgeries, flap surgeries and micro or mini-grafting, the patient is prescribed a post-operative pain management medication such as Codeine, Tylenol 3, Percocet, and/or Darvocet. The pain associated with these other hair loss replacement methods is so intense that each patient requires some level of medication to sleep through the first 3 to 7 nights.

Conversely, The GHI FUE hair loss replacement technique is painless therefore requiring no more than the administering of Extra Strength Tylenol and/or Tylenol PM to alleviate mild discomfort, if there is any at all. GHI emphasizes that the majority of our patients do not require the use of any pain medication.


The hair doesn't look natural.”
MYTH

The GHI FUE hair loss replacement procedure produces the most natural looking scalp hairlines. We extract individual follicular units from the scalp and the body, then artistically re-distribute these harvested hair grafts to an area of your scalp that is suffering from hair loss. We have worked with more than 70 different hair loss replacement practices throughout the world and we offer this collective knowledge to every person who walks into our Florida facility. GHI understands that each persons hair has different characteristics and, as such, we custom treat your scalp to re-create a soft natural hair line.


You will be SCARRED for life!”
MYTH

GHI is the only facility in the world using a .75mm micro-punch extraction tool to guarantee a completely undetectable hair transplant. All other procedures for replacing your hair require some kind of a surgical incision to be made in the scalp to remove the hairs needed for the transplant. The biggest problem with these types of surgical procedures is the removal of excessive, unneeded tissue. Any time you remove large portions of tissue, your body will have to compensate by forming a scar to replace the missing tissue.

Once the strip is removed from the scalp a group of technicians will dissect, or cut out, the individual follicular units and dispose of the remaining tissue. The GHI FUE Technique only removes the tissue needed to ensure the survivability of the harvested hairs. We transplant the harvested hairs fully intact to the areas of the scalp where the hair is needed the most or where the patient desires to have more hair. The size of our tool is so small that your body can heal without forming visible scar tissue. We only take the hair and the anatomical structures affiliated with each graft, not more, ensuring the donor region is pristine. There is no indication of the hair transplant harvest.
