SMARTGRAFT™ FUE: A Modern Hair Transplant in Plano

Tired of noticing thinning hair every time you look in the mirror? You want a solution that feels authentic, not artificial. At Dr. Plano Hair, we specialize in SMARTGRAFT™ FUE, a state-of-the-art hair restoration technique that delivers natural, permanent results for men and women in Plano, Dallas, and McKinney.

This advanced, minimally invasive procedure transplants your own hair to create a fuller, thicker look that seamlessly blends with your natural growth pattern—all without major surgery or significant downtime.

What is SMARTGRAFT™ FUE Hair Transplantation?

SMARTGRAFT™ FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is a revolutionary approach to hair restoration. It differs from older “strip surgery” methods by focusing on individual hair follicles.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Gentle Extraction: Using a precise, specialized tool, our expert team gently removes individual follicular units—each containing 1-4 hairs—from the donor area at the back of your scalp.

  2. Artistic Placement: We then meticulously transplant these healthy grafts into the thinning recipient areas, carefully designing a hairline that complements your facial features and age.

The result is a natural-looking head of hair that grows, feels, and can be styled just like the rest of your hair.

Why Choose SMARTGRAFT™ FUE Over Traditional Transplants?

If you’re concerned about a visible scar or a long recovery, SMARTGRAFT™ FUE offers significant advantages:

  • No Linear Scar: Unlike traditional FUT (strip) procedures, FUE leaves only tiny, dot-like scars that are virtually undetectable, even with a shorter haircut.

  • Minimally Invasive: There are no stitches or staples required.

  • Less Downtime: Most patients return to their normal routines within a day or two.

  • Precision and Comfort: The procedure is performed with utmost care for minimal discomfort.

Are You a Candidate for SMARTGRAFT™ FUE in Plano?

SMARTGRAFT™ FUE is a versatile solution for many people experiencing hair loss. You may be an ideal candidate if you have:

  • Male or female pattern baldness

  • Thinning hair across the top of the scalp or a receding hairline

  • Hair loss due to genetics, aging, or other factors

  • A desire to avoid a visible scar from a strip procedure

  • A lifestyle that demands a quick return to work and daily activities

The best way to know if SMARTGRAFT™ FUE is right for you is through a personal consultation with Dr. Plano. He will evaluate your hair loss, discuss your goals, and create a personalized plan.

What should I expect during a SMARTGRAFT™ FUE treatment?

The SMARTGRAFT™ FUE procedure is minimally invasive and typically takes between three to six hours, depending on the size of the treatment area. During the procedure your doctor will use a special extraction tool to gently remove individual follicular units from the donor site. These are then transplanted in the recipient area according to your desired outcome.

Your SMARTGRAFT™ FUE Journey: What to Expect

During the Procedure:

Performed in our accredited surgical facility, the procedure is comfortable and typically takes between 3 to 6 hours. You can relax, watch a movie, or simply rest as our team works meticulously to restore your hair.

After the Procedure:

You can go home the same day. You may experience some mild redness, swelling, or tenderness for a few days, but this resolves quickly. Most people feel ready to return to non-strenuous work and social activities within 24-48 hours.

The Growth Timeline:

  • 2-4 Weeks: The transplanted hairs will often shed—this is a normal and expected part of the process.

  • 3-4 Months: You’ll begin to see new hair growth.

  • 9-12 Months: Enjoy the full, transformative results of your thicker, natural-looking hair.
