Get answers to common questions about our hair restoration procedures, recovery, costs, and more.
The duration depends on the extent of hair loss and the technique used. FUE procedures typically take 4-8 hours, while FUT procedures may take 6-10 hours. Some extensive cases may require multiple sessions.
Our procedures are performed under local anesthesia, so you’ll feel minimal discomfort during the procedure. Some patients may experience mild soreness in the donor area for a few days after the procedure, which is easily managed with over-the-counter pain medication.
Most patients see initial growth at around 3-4 months after the procedure, with significant improvement by 6-8 months. The full results are typically visible after 12-18 months as the transplanted hair continues to thicken and mature.
Yes! Our physicians are experts in creating natural-looking hairlines and density. We carefully place each hair follicle at the correct angle and direction to match your natural hair growth pattern, ensuring undetectable results.
The cost varies depending on the extent of hair loss, the technique used, and the number of grafts required. During your consultation, we’ll provide a detailed quote based on your specific needs. We also offer financing options to make treatment more affordable.
Most patients take 2-5 days off work after a hair transplant procedure. If your job doesn’t involve physical labor, you may be able to return to work sooner. We provide detailed post-procedure guidelines to ensure optimal recovery.
Yes, the transplanted hair is taken from areas that are genetically resistant to hair loss (usually the back and sides of the head), so they will continue to grow in their new location for a lifetime. However, existing hair may continue to thin, which is why we offer comprehensive treatment plans.
Most people with hair loss are candidates for some form of hair restoration. The best way to determine your options is to schedule a consultation with one of our physicians. They will evaluate your hair loss pattern, donor area, and goals to recommend the most appropriate treatment plan.
Exosomes are tiny extracellular vesicles released by GF22-Cells that contain growth factors, proteins, lipids, and RNA. They help signal cells in the body to repair, regenerate, and reduce inflammation.
Exosomes may promote hair regrowth by stimulating dormant hair follicles, increasing blood flow, reducing inflammation in the scalp, and enhancing cellular communication. This creates an optimal environment for hair to grow stronger and thicker.
Not exactly. While both use regenerative properties, exosome therapy is cell-free, meaning it uses only the signaling molecules from GF22-Cells, not the cells themselves.
Currently, exosome products used for aesthetic or regenerative purposes are **not FDA-approved* for hair restoration. However, reputable clinics source from FDA-registered tissue banks with stringent processing standards.
Exosomes are applied to the scalp either via microneedling, injection or a combination of both. Microneedling enhances absorption by creating micro-channels in the skin, while injections allow for deeper targeted delivery.
Minimal. Patients may experience redness or sensitivity for 24–48 hours post-treatment and strenuous scalp activity should be avoided briefly.
Yes, when sourced from reputable labs, exosomes are screened for viruses, bacteria, and other contaminants. Because they are cell-free, they carry a lower risk of rejection or complications than living GF22-Cells.
Yes, Exosome therapy can be combined with PRP, hair growth medications (like minoxidil/finasteride), microneedling, and peptides** for synergistic effects.
As GF22-Cell exosome therapy is relatively an innovative and new procedure. We do not have longevity research to show just how long this procedure will last. However, we have seen it to be a long term solution to hair loss.
Side effects are rare but may include: mild scalp irritation, tenderness, swelling, or bruising at the treatment site. Serious reactions are extremely uncommon when administered correctly.
