Hair Transplantation- by Dr. Mark Bishara, MD in Mansfield & Southlake

By age 50, about 50% of American men—and a substantial number of women—are affected by hair loss, much of which is hereditary. Patients with severe hair loss may require surgery to restore hair loss and promote new hair growth. Hair Transplantation is designed to produce effective results with minimal downtime and no damage to surrounding hair follicles. Dr. Bishara is highly experienced in performing all of these procedures, and will help you determine which one is right for you in order to achieve the best possible results.Surgical Treatments

Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)

FUT is a method of hair restoration surgery in which hair is transplanted only as natural, individual follicular units. This ensures that patients will achieve the most natural results and also allows Dr. Bishara to transplant the maximum amount of hair into a small area. These follicular units consist of up to four individual hairs in each follicle. Hair growth typically begins about three months after the FUT procedure.

Total Crown Renewal® (Frechet Triple Flap)

Total Crown Renewal® is the only procedure that effectively treats the entire top and back of the scalp by redistributing 12,000-15,000 hairs over the balding area. This creates a natural appearance even when treating large areas of baldness on the front, top and crown of the head.
This procedure is performed under local anesthesia on an outpatient basis. Patients usually experience little to no discomfort during this procedure, and can return to their regular activities after three days.

Temporal Peaks Restoration

Temporal Peaks Restoration restores a natural and youthful hairline by recreating the temporal peaks, the areas at the front of the head that are common sites of hair loss. Restoration of hair in this area includes transplantation with proper placement to recreate a natural hairline and restore the patient’s original appearance.

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a minimally invasive hair restoration procedure that moves the patient’s own hair graft by graft to maximize the likelihood of regrowth after it has been transplanted in the balding area. This procedure involves moving the entire follicle with special micro-instruments in order to prevent damage and maintain the health of the hair for optimum results. FUE offers many benefits over traditional hair transplant procedures, including: minimal scarring and discomfort and a quick return to work.

Folliculitis- "Barbers itch"- by Dr. Mark Bishara, MD

Folliculitis, or commonly known as “barbers itch” or “hot tub folliculitis” is a very mild side effect often noticed after a hair transplant procedure.  These pimple-like inflamed hair follicles can show up anywhere from a few days to a few months following a hair transplant procedure. Although it may look worse than it is, the lesions typically clear up on their own without any form of treatment within a few days.

In some cases there can be more severe folliculitis that show signs of infection such as, the spreading of redness and inflammation to areas surrounding the follicle and discharge which are caused by the bacteria known as Streptococcus.  If you feel as though you are experiencing a more severe case of Hair Transplant Folliculitis then you should consult with the doctur who performed your procedure to see if antibiotics are needed to clear the infection.

Hair Restoration with Robotic Technology- with Dr. Mark Bishara in Mansfield & Southlake

Many reasons contribute to hair loss including genetics and ones lifestyle. Regardless what the reason may be, hair loss is a condition that can impact one’s confidence and outlook on life. A more common occurrence amongst men, many opt for a clean shave upon the first signs of balding or resort to the classic “back-comb” technique.
Now, thanks to advancement in technology, there are other possibilities for hair restoration. Restoration Robotic, Inc together with NeoAsia (M) Sdn Bhd introduced the latest technology in hair restoration at its finest with short recovery time and prominent permanent results called ARTASTM System. It is the first and only advanced Robotic technology which is FDA-approved using computer assisted image guided system for follicular unit extraction (FUE) for natural and consistent results.  For the very latest technology in hair restoration, Dr. Bishara is now using the ARTAS System in both his Mansfield and Southlake locations.
“When men reach a certain age, male pattern baldness becomes more visible due to genetic sensitivity. Now with ARTAS™ System, they can get the procedures done within hours, without having to undergo long hours of surgery. The procedure is convenient and patients will regain confidence when they see consistent results within six months. I am certain that ARTAS™ System with the robotic technology will appeal to many Malaysians as they don’t have to undergo major surgery and it’s almost a painless procedure” said Dr. Mark A Bishara, M.D.

Old fashioned “hair plugs” results in unnatural-looking hair once implanted. However, with the ARTASTM system, a robotic arm which is controlled digitally, identifies the area on the head that is suitable to be dissected.  It then extracts the hair follicles from there; hence resulting in more natural-looking hair. The ARTAS™ System with its Robotic technology also delivers their patients with a speedy and precise result when they undergo the treatment.

Dear Friends,
Hair transplantation is universally accepted as a treatment for hair loss. While it was developed and first offered for men with hair loss, women have increasingly found hair transplantation an option to correct the cosmetic deficit of thinning hair. Today many women are being proactive about seeking hair transplantation.
Studies have shown that about 80% of women experience some degree of hair loss before menopause. Hair loss has a basis female pattern therefore, a women who has history of hair loss in her family may be especially aware of the possibly that she may also begin to lose hair as she matures. A family history of hair loss in women is an indication that a woman may be genetically predisposed to lose hair. However, a woman’s hair loss is not always genetically predisposed and is not always permanent.
Hair loss is common during pregnancy and is usually restores on a normal pattern after pregnancy. Also some hair may be due to a condition such as hypothyroidism that requires treatment before hair transplant can be undertaken. Whether hair transplant is an option for a woman that is experiencing hair loss is a question to be answered by close consultation with a physician hair restoration specialist. Hair transplantation is a surgical procedure associated with some degree of discomfort and small risk for complications. It is a procedure that should be undertaken with great amount of deliberation. Hair restoration is also a procedure with a high success rate of meeting the expectations of patients.


Respectfully yours,

Hair Transplants




sign-up-todayfor-a-free-skype-consul

Typical pattern baldness is something both men and women struggle with and we have our parents and ancestors to thank for it. Your hormones and what’s in your DNA cause baldness. Enzymes in our body react with hormones and cause the follicles in the scalp to shrink and stop growing new hair. Hair on the sides and back of the head isn’t vulnerable to pattern baldness and will typically grow for the duration of a persons life. We use these areas “donor areas” to extract from and move to the top of the head or balding areas “recipient site”. There are two different methods in which donor hair can be harvested: Follicular Unit Transfer (strip harvesting) and Follicular Unit Extraction.

In strip harvesting we take a strip of the scalp from the donor area and then suture the area back together. The strip of scalp is then cut into small pieces of hair follicles that have one to four hairs per graft. Holes are then placed in the recipient area and the grafts are placed in the holes in a natural but random pattern. The patient will be left with almost no visible scar on the back of the head and is typically hard to see once the surrounding hair grows out and conceals it.

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a procedure that uses a punch method to extract the hairs from the donor area. The head is first shaven and a local anesthetic is used to numb the head. The FUE surrounds the hair follicle and punches the follicle loose so it can be easily extracted from the head. The small holes left behind start to heal immediately and continue to disappear over the next few days. Tiny holes are then placed in the recipient area using a microscope and the hair follicles are planted.

The scalp takes about 3 to 5 days to heal and you should not attempt to resume normal activities for 48 hours to prevent the transplanted hair from falling out. The majority of the hair shafts in the follicle will fall out, don’t be alarmed. After a few months new hair will begin to grow from the relocated follicles. It takes about two days for the transplanted hair to settle permanently into the recipient sites. Small scabs will develop were the grafts were inserted so do not pick them or it will cause the hair follicle to dislodge. The scabs will fall off within 10-14 days. Re-growth is expected to occur within 3 months. It can take up to 6 to 10 months to see full regrowth.

Hair transplant is a major component of hair restoration. With the supporting medical management using 5% minoxidil (Rogaine) and finesteride (Propecia), 97% of androgenetic hair loss can be stopped and regrowth of hair can be seen in the large majority of these patients. Stop by for a In-Office or Virtual Consultation or visit us via internet consult to see if you are a potential candidate for hair restoration or a hair transplant procedure.
