Procedures Performed

• FUE Hair Transplant (No Scar): The Follicular Unit Excision (FUE) method is Dr. Tsilosani's premier offering for patients seeking an operation with no linear scarring. This non-invasive, no-pain procedure is completed within several hours. It includes post-operative care and allows patients to maintain extremely short haircuts without visible evidence of surgery.
• FUT Hair Transplant (Larger Operations): The Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) technique is expertly utilized for patients requiring a particularly high number of grafts in a single session. Like all of Dr. Tsilosani's operations, this is a no-pain procedure that lasts only several hours, providing excellent graft survival rates for advanced stages of baldness.
• LHT (Long Hair Transplantation): A specialized, highly advanced procedure where hair is transplanted without trimming the donor or recipient areas. This remarkable method allows patients to preview their exact, natural-looking results immediately following the operation, eliminating the anxiety of the standard waiting period.
• Beard Transplantation (BHT): Using standard, highly refined body hair transplantation (BHT) techniques, Dr. Tsilosani extracts healthy follicles and implants them into the facial region to craft thick, even, and highly aesthetic beards.
• Eyebrow Transplant: A meticulous micro-surgical procedure requiring exceptional artistic skill. Dr. Tsilosani carefully places individual hair grafts at the exact angle and direction of natural eyebrow growth, yielding permanent facial framing.
