About Available Treatments
Dr. Jezic and his clinical team offer a wide range of hair transplant options tailored to both men and women. Treatment details reflect the specific type of hair loss, availability of donor hair, and personal goals. If you are unsure about what treatment would be best for your current situation, Dr. Jezic or his lead clinician will provide you with helpful information to guide your decisions.
Follicular Unit Extraction or Excision (FUE)
Follicular Unit Extraction (also known as Follicular Unit Excision) is one of the most popular transplant techniques available for hair transplants. Using this method, specialists use a precise circular punch tool to harvest hair grafts from donor sites; they then place them carefully into the targeted areas. (2)
For men, FUE is ideal for men looking to restore the hairline, fill in a bald crown, or address thinning temples. It leaves tiny, barely visible marks instead of linear scars, allowing patients to wear short hairstyles without concern.
Mega Session FUE
For patients with more advanced hair loss, mega session FUE can transplant up to 5,000 grafts in one procedure. This high-volume option is especially beneficial for patients who want significant improvement in density due to more extensive balding.
By transplanting such a large number of follicles at once, mega session FUE reduces the need for multiple treatments and helps patients see a dramatic transformation sooner. (3)
Body-to-Scalp Hair Transplants
Not all patients have sufficient donor hair on the back of their scalp. In these cases, Dr. Jezic and his team offer body-to-scalp transplants. Our team can harvest hair follicles from the beard, chest, back, arms, or other areas where growth is healthy and dense.
The HHTC team uses FUE techniques to extract these grafts and blends them seamlessly with existing scalp hair. This innovation opens the door for patients who may have been told they were not candidates for transplants in the past.
Shaveless FUE
For active and busy folks who value their confidentiality and privacy and do not want to reveal that they just had a hair transplant, HHTC offers Shaveless FUE options.
Female Hair Restoration
Hair loss in women often presents differently than in men, and the HHTC team recognizes these differences. Women often experience diffuse thinning rather than patterned baldness. For this reason, treatment plans for female patients require careful planning and artistry.
Female hair restoration often includes:
- Strategic FUE placement in areas of thinning
- FUT Hair Transplants (do not require shaving)
- Regenerative therapies to strengthen remaining follicles
- Combination approaches (surgical + non-surgical) to increase density and thickness
Dr. Jezic and his team are careful to design results that maintain a natural look, ensuring restored density without creating unnatural clumping.
Facial Hair Transplants
For men who want to restore or enhance their beards, mustaches, or sideburns, facial hair transplants provide an effective solution. We harvest follicles and place them into facial areas to create fuller, natural facial hair patterns. Although men are the main demographic of this treatment, some women may benefit from procedures such as eyebrow transplants. Eyebrow restoration uses FUE techniques to create defined, natural arches that frame the eyes beautifully.
Regenerative Therapy for Hair Growth
Treatments like autologous conditioned plasma (ACP) and topical compounds can:
- Revitalize weak follicles
- Increase hair shaft thickness
- Reduce shedding
- Improve donor hair quality before a transplant
These treatments can be performed as standalone procedures or in conjunction with hair transplants and/or non-surgical procedures. Some patients see the best results after undergoing a series of treatments.
In addition to the above, HHTC offers a broad array of products, topicals, supplements, vitamins, and such to help preserve and promote healthy hair. Please ask about these during your consultation.
Ideal Candidates
Men and women may be good candidates for hair restoration if they meet certain criteria, including:
- Men with receding hairlines, crown baldness, or diffuse thinning
- Women with overall hair thinning or reduced density across the scalp
- Patients who have stable hair loss and donor hair areas with healthy follicles available for grafting
- Individuals with realistic expectations who want gradual, natural-looking results
- Those in good general health without any scalp or skin conditions that might impact their ability to undergo treatment
- Patientsare open to exploring body-to-scalp if scalp donor hair is limited
Every patient is different, which is why Dr. Jezic and his team evaluate each case individually to determine candidacy.

Cost of Hair Transplants and Other Hair Restoration Treatments in Houston
The cost/price of hair transplant surgery depends on the number of grafts, the type of procedure, and the complexity of the treatment plan. Men and women with advanced hair loss may require more grafts than patients seeking smaller improvements. During your consultation, Dr. Jezic and his team will provide a detailed breakdown of pricing.

FAQ
Can both men and women get hair transplants?
Yes. While hair loss patterns differ between men and women, both benefit from customized transplant procedures. Dr. Jezic and his team work to customize each procedure accordingly.
How long do hair transplants last?
Transplanted follicles are generally permanent. Proper care and ongoing therapies can enhance results.
Will my hair look natural after a transplant?
Yes. Dr. Jezic and his team focus on artistry, ensuring each graft is placed at the correct angle and density to mimic natural growth patterns. Hair continues to grow naturally over time and can be styled normally.
What if I do not have enough donor hair on my scalp?
If you do not have sufficient donor hair on the back of your scalp, where hair transplants typically take hair from, you may want to consider a body-to-scalp. Transplants allow patients with limited donor supply to still undergo successful procedures.
When will I see hair transplant results?
The transplanted hair typically begins to grow within three months, with full results visible in 9 to 12 months. It is important to have patience throughout the process, as hair growth is gradual and different follicles are in different stages of growth.
Do hair transplants hurt?
No, hair transplants are typically not considered to be painful. Local anesthesia ensures comfort throughout the procedure. Most patients describe minimal discomfort and a relatively easy recovery. Following aftercare instructions can improve comfort and patients’ overall experiences.
Can I undergo more than one hair restoration procedure?
Yes, patients often choose to combine their hair transplant procedure with a topical or regenerative treatment to enhance their results.
What is the recovery time after a hair transplant?
Most patients return to normal daily activities within a few days. Mild redness or swelling typically resolves within a week. Dr. Jezic and his team provide detailed aftercare instructions to promote healing and optimal results.
Will a hair transplant leave visible scarring?
Modern hair transplant techniques are designed to minimize scarring. When performed properly, any scarring is typically very subtle and easily concealed by surrounding hair. Dr. Jezic and his clinical team use advanced methods to ensure natural-looking outcomes with minimal evidence of surgery.
Am I a good candidate for a hair transplant?
Most healthy adults experiencing hair loss are good candidates for a hair transplant as long as they have adequate donor tissue, don’t suffer from progressive hair loss, and are otherwise healthy. All of these factors can be mitigated if they exist. During your personal consultation, Dr. Jezic or a member of his clinical team will evaluate factors such as hair loss pattern, donor hair availability, and overall health to determine the most effective treatment plan for each patient.
