Compare Our Leading Hair Restoration Methods

From FUE and robotic precision to PRP and laser-assisted transplants, see how our leading methods differ, helping you choose a confident path to fuller growth.

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction)

Individual follicles are harvested from the donor zone and artistically placed to rebuild density. This scar-minimizing method is ideal for short hairstyles and active lifestyles throughout Tampa Bay hair restoration practices. This minimally invasive technique delivers flexible styling freedom without a linear scar.

Robotic Hair Transplantation

Utilizing advanced robotic technology, this procedure enhances the precision and consistency of the FUE process. Patients benefit from shorter procedure times and consistent outcomes, making this technology a standout hair restoration Tampa Florida option.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy

PRP therapy is a non-surgical treatment that uses the healing power of your own blood. A concentration of platelets is injected into the scalp to stimulate dormant hair follicles, increase hair thickness, and promote new growth with no downtime.

Laser Assisted Hair Transplant

This innovative technique incorporates low-level laser therapy (LLLT) into the transplant process. The laser energy helps stimulate blood flow, reduce inflammation, and accelerate healing of the newly transplanted follicles, potentially improving the overall success and density of the final result.

Recovery Guide: Downtime, Care, and When Hair Grows Back

Recovery varies based on the chosen procedure. Non-surgical options like PRP have virtually no downtime, allowing you to resume your day immediately. For surgical procedures like FUE, most patients return to normal, non-strenuous activities within a few days. We provide detailed aftercare instructions to protect the new grafts and support healing. The initial results will become visible over several months as the new hair grows in.

Understanding the Risks

While hair restoration in Tampa is generally very safe in the hands of a triple board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ambay, all medical procedures have potential risks. Common, manageable risks include:

  • Temporary swelling or minor discomfort
  • Bleeding or itching at the treatment sites
  • Temporary numbness in the scalp area
  • Risk of infection (minimized with proper aftercare)

Frequently Asked Questions about Tampa Hair Restoration

Is the Procedure Painful?

Patient comfort is our top priority. For surgical procedures, we use a local anesthetic to completely numb the scalp, so you feel no pain during the process. Non-surgical treatments like injections may involve minimal, brief discomfort, while laser-based therapies are entirely painless. Most patients report a very tolerable experience.

Is Hair Restoration Permanent?

Surgical restoration using transplanted follicles provides permanent, lifelong results, as these hairs are genetically resistant to balding. Non-surgical options like regenerative therapy offer significant, long-lasting improvement by stimulating existing hair but may require periodic maintenance sessions to sustain the enhanced growth and thickness over time.

When will I See My Final Results?

Patience is key. For surgical procedures, new growth typically begins in 3-4 months, with more significant density appearing by 9 months and final results maturing at 12-18 months. Non-surgical therapies can yield noticeable improvements in hair thickness and shedding within just a few months.
