ABOUT HAIR TRANSPLANTS  INITIAL CONSULTATION  THE PROCEDURE  POST PROCEDURE

The Procedure

Upon arrival, you are escorted to a private treatment room where Dr. Nusbaum explains exactly what's going to happen. He outlines the area on your scalp he intends to transplant and proceeds only with your approval.

We provide medication to relax you and a surgical gown to wear during the procedure. A technician massages your scalp prior to administering local anesthesia. This massaging technique, developed by Dr. Nusbaum, is based on acupressure but involves no needles. The massaging creates a vibration in the skin that works in combination with the anesthesia to minimize any discomfort associated with the procedure.

While your scalp is anesthetized, the grafts are surgically removed from the donor strip at the back of your head and transplanted to the chosen sites. Most patients report experiencing minimal, if any discomfort during the procedure.
