Hair Restoration
Hair restoration specialist Dr. Amiya Prasad performs hair transplantation procedures at his Joint Commission certified facilities in New York City. As a specialist with over 20 years of experience, it is Dr. Prasad’s constant priority to fully understand each patient’s concerns and spend the appropriate amount of time doing so, in order to properly diagnose each case.Because there is much discussion and debate about FUE versus FUT or the “strip method”, Dr. Prasad is careful to go over any details necessary for the patient to make an informed decision during consultation meetings and examinations.
It is important to remember that the number of grafts transplanted are based on the density of grafts in the back of the scalp referred to as the “donor area”. This rule of thumb applies to both “FUT” (also called “strip method” or “FUE”). The area to be transplanted is measured and the patient reviews the markings with Dr. Prasad and the technicians. The patient may be completely awake during the procedure with just a local anesthetic drug applied to numb the areas of the scalp. The patient may also have intravenous or IV sedation sometimes referred to as “twilight” anesthesia.
Dr. Amiya Prasad’s Hair Regeneration Treatment
As a hair restoration specialist, Dr. Prasad recognizes the growing practice in the hair restoration industry to focus solely of short-term results. Because of this trend, other hair loss “specialists” tend to focus more on selling procedures rather than giving patients effective, long-term results. With this in mind, Dr. Prasad developed the Hair Regeneration treatment.
The treatment offers a quick, lasting and non-invasive solution to hair loss by means of reactivating existing hair follicles and jump starting normal hair growth cycle. It is designed in such a way that patients generally need one application for them to see results. Customized treatment plans based on years of experience is critical for maximal results. Furthermore, the Hair Regeneration technology also makes a significant difference in hair transplant results. Higher yield in graft survival and thickening of thinning hair has been greatly appreciated by people familiar with hair transplantation surgery.
Those who will benefit the most from the Hair Regeneration treatment are the following:
- People who are already experiencing hair loss and do not want to be placed in the position of needing a hair transplant in the future.
- People who currently need a hair transplant, or have already had a hair transplant, may opt for Hair Regeneration to ensure that they will not continue to lose hair after the procedure.
- People who are either too young for a hair transplant or are not viable candidates for a hair transplant.
