Canadian Hair Transplant Centre serving Edmonton

Follicular Unit Extraction, which includes No-Shave and Long Hair FUE options for immediate, discreet results, uses local anesthesia and manual punches calibrated to 0.6-0.8mm to extract individual follicular units while preserving surrounding tissue. This technique leaves minimal scarring and allows for shorter hairstyles postoperatively. Grafts typically range from 1,000 to 3,000 per session based on donor availability.

Follicular Unit Transplantation involves removing a strip of tissue from the donor area and then microscopically dissecting it into individual grafts. This method maximises graft yield from the donor area and is best suited to patients who require larger sessions or have limited donor density. Linear closure techniques minimise scar visibility when performed properly. 

Facial hair restoration requires specialised techniques accounting for unique growth angles and hair characteristics. Single-hair grafts are commonly used in eyebrow reconstruction to achieve a natural appearance. Beard transplantation involves placing 1-2 hair follicular units at acute angles to match the natural emergence patterns of facial hair. Local anesthesia, including nerve blocks, ensures patient comfort during these procedures. 

Female hair loss typically presents as diffuse thinning rather than defined recession and requires a specialized surgical approach. Dr. Sharma performs FUE and FUT for female patients, using no-shave techniques where clinically appropriate and designing hairlines with soft, rounded contours that complement your female facial anatomy and long-term aesthetic goals.

Hairline lowering through transplantation addresses a high or naturally elevated hairline by placing grafts along the frontal scalp to bring the hairline forward. Each design is planned around fixed anatomical landmarks and individual facial proportions, ensuring the result appears natural and ages appropriately over your lifetime.

Medical hair loss therapies are prescribed and supervised by our team of nurse practitioners. Options include oral finasteride, dutasteride, topical minoxidil, and compounded topical formulations tailored to each patient's unique hair loss pattern and type. Medical therapy is often recommended before and after surgical hair restoration to enhance your results.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy and microneedling with finasteride are available at our Edmonton clinic as standalone treatments or as surgical support therapies. PRP uses your body’s own concentrated growth factors to naturally stimulate follicle activity. Microneedling enhances topical medication absorption, improving the effectiveness of prescription hair loss treatments applied to the scalp.

Visible donor scarring from a previous FUT procedure or traumatic injury can be surgically revised or camouflaged using precise follicular transplantation. Dr. Sharma uses layered suturing techniques for linear scar excision and individually places grafts into scar tissue for patients seeking to reduce the visibility of their scars at shorter hair lengths.

Scalp micropigmentation is a non-surgical technique that uses specialized pigments applied to the scalp to simulate the appearance of follicles or add visual density to thinning areas. It can be used alongside or following surgical hair restoration as a complementary option to enhance the overall appearance of your hair coverage.
