The cost of a hair transplant varies based upon the extent of hair loss, number of grafts needed, and the procedure used. At Tempus Hair Restoration, pricing is determined only after Dr. Marco Barusco conducts a one-on-one consultation with the prospective patient. During this consultation, he will diagnose the cause of your hair loss, discuss your hair restoration goals with you, and propose a procedure designed to achieve the best possible long-term outcome. Because each person is different, pricing will be tailored to the individual patient.

For those who are appropriate candidates, a hair transplant can be an option for women experiencing hair loss. Although women can be genetically predisposed to androgenetic alopecia (AGA)—also known as male pattern baldness—they rarely go completely bald. A common cause of female hair loss is traction alopecia, which results from long-term damage to hair follicles by constant tension on the hair. Dr. Marco Barusco evaluates each patient’s cause of hair loss, medical history, and long-term expectations in determining whether surgery, non-surgical treatment, or a combination is the most suitable option.

Yes. Transplanted hair follicles are generally long-lasting and will continue to grow for a lifetime. However, the surrounding native hair may continue to thin, which can impact overall appearance over time. To prevent this, Dr. Marco Barusco anticipates each patient’s future hair loss and carefully plans the selection and placement of donor hair to preserve an adequate amount for subsequent transplants. Medical treatments such as finasteride and minoxidil may also be prescribed to postpone or prevent further loss of native hair.

Follicular Unit Transplantation—commonly known as FUT—is a technique that involves removing a strip of tissue containing donor hair from the back of the head, which is then carefully dissected into individual follicular unit grafts that are transplanted into balding areas of the scalp. When performed by an experienced, skilled surgeon, it leaves a pencil-line linear scar that is easily concealed by hair—even at a shorter length. Dr. Marco Barusco may recommend the FUT when it is better suited to the patient’s long-term goals and donor area characteristics.

Follicular Unit Excision—commonly known as FUE—is a technique that involves removing individual follicular units from the donor area using small circular punch blades instead of a scalpel. These follicular units are then transplanted into balding areas of the scalp. The FUE requires no sutures; resulting scars are not readily visible and are easily concealed even by very short hair. The No-Shave FUE developed by Dr. Marco Barusco is the same procedure, with the difference being that the donor area is not shaved before surgery—making the procedure virtually undetectable during recovery. The option that Dr. Barusco recommends will depend on the patient’s long-term goals and donor area characteristics.

A facial hair transplant is designed to fill in areas of sparse or patchy growth in beards, mustaches, sideburns and eyebrows. As with a scalp hair transplant, hair is harvested from the donor areas, but usually further down toward the neck, where the quality is closer to that of facial hair. Achieving a result that looks like natural growth requires the technical skill and aesthetic sense of an experienced surgeon in positioning the hair follicles correctly. Cost depends upon the size of the treatment area and number of grafts required. Dr. Marco Barusco evaluates each patient individually to determine the most appropriate approach.

Factors that determine whether a potential patient is a good candidate for a hair transplant procedure includes the availability and quality of donor hair, current pattern of hair loss, overall health, medical history, and hair restoration goals. Dr. Marco Barusco personally evaluates all of these factors before recommending surgery or medical treatment.

Tempus Hair Restoration is dedicated exclusively to the diagnosis and treatment of hair loss. Dr. Marco Barusco personally evaluates each patient, develops an individualized treatment plan, and performs the critical surgical portions of every procedure himself. Patients have access to multiple treatment options—including the FUT, FUE, No-Shave FUE, and the Combination FUE and FUT (which covers large bald areas in a single surgery)—allowing Dr. Barusco to recommend the approach best suited to the patient’s goals, lifestyle, donor area, and long-term hair loss pattern.
