Hair Restoration
Do you suffer from thinning hair? Are you self-conscious of your receding hairline?
Hair loss affects a large number of men and women. The condition can take a toll on your confidence, but it is treatable.
With so many options, you might be unsure where to start. A specialist like Dr. Joseph Galitzin serving Greater Atlanta, GA, can help.
Hair Restoration Treatments: Conservative to Permanent
There are many kinds of hair restoration solutions out there, from over-the-counter products to prescription medications and laser stimulation devices. None of these are proven to work as well as the hair transplantation procedures performed by Dr. Galitzin at the Hair Restoration Institute of Georgia, located in Peachtree City, GA, serving Greater Atlanta. Here is a closer look at the most common treatments:
Topical Treatments
Several types of topical treatments are available to slow thinning and stimulate hair growth. The most popular, minoxidil, is known by the brand name ROGAINE®. This non-prescription solution is applied to the scalp as a liquid or foam. It is most effective at treating female and male pattern baldness, takes at least six months to show results, and only works as long as it is continuously used. Some users may experience skin irritation and a rapid heart rate.Medications
Prescription oral medications are also somewhat effective at treating hair loss. Finasteride, or Propecia, is approved for men and taken daily in pill form. Patients will need to continue taking the drug in order to maintain their results. Side effects, although rare, are serious and can include decreased sexual function and an increased risk of prostate cancer.
Laser Therapy
Patients who would prefer a conservative treatment free of side effects are often interested in laser therapy. The U.S Food and Drug Administration has approved devices including a specialized cap, called Capillus®, which is worn for a short amount of time each day. These low-level lasers have shown limited results and further studies are needed.
Platelet-Rich Plasma
Platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, isolates the healing properties found in your own blood. The advanced technique has seen a range of recent uses, from boosting collagen through facials to promoting faster recoveries after dental surgery. PRP therapy is thought to increase blood supply to the hair follicles, producing thicker, healthier hair. The hair loss treatment is required about every four to six months and so far, research has failed to show promising and consistent results.
Want the Best Possible Results?
"Surgical restoration is simply the most effective way to address hair loss for a large number of patients." Dr. Galitzin
Hair Transplant Surgery
Surgically placing hair into the affected areas is simply the most effective way to address hair loss for a number of patients. At the Hair Restoration Institute of Georgia in Atlanta, we specialize in surgical care and prefer follicular unit extraction, or FUE, using the ARTAS® Robotic System. Candidates for hair transplant surgery must be in good health and have a sufficient amount of thick, healthy hair to harvest and transfer to the donor site. Some hair transplant patients may require touch-ups but the results are considered permanent.
Does the Procedure Really Make a Difference?

Dr. Galitzin and the team at the Hair Restoration Institute of Georgia offer the highest standard of care at our cutting-edge Peachtree City, GA, office.

Hair restoration surgery is the best option for getting back your full head of hair. This surgery can help restore hair for people who suffer from:
This is a common cause of hair loss in men and women. It can be caused by the natural aging process, hormones, or a genetic predisposition. Unlike most over-the-counter medication or hair regrowth products, hair restoration surgery can replenish your lost or thinning hair giving you full, natural locks and an overall more youthful appearance.
Hair restoration surgery techniques have evolved to become more effective. Many patients who were unhappy with their previous hair restoration surgery have found the newer, improved methods to give them satisfactory results. Dr. Galitzin stays up-to-date on hair restoration and even offers robotic hair transplant surgery.
Scar tissue does not allow for hair to grow. If you've been in an accident or have had surgery that left scars on your head, hair restoration surgery could be a good option for you. By using the latest techniques, hair restoration surgery can cover the scars and allow for new hair to grow in the affected area. The hair regrowth will restore your natural, full-looking head of hair.
Am I a Good Candidate For Hair Restoration Surgery?
Most people suffering from hair loss who have tried other remedies without success are good candidates for hair restoration surgery. However, there are several factors that can affect your candidacy:
Time
Good candidates have suffered from male or female pattern baldness for five years or longer.
Stage
You are typically a good candidate if you have an advanced stage of male or female pattern baldness.
Expectation
Good candidates have realistic expectations of the results and the time it takes to achieve them.
Health
Candidates are in good overall health and not fighting any underlying diseases.
Existing Hair
Good candidates for hair restoration surgery should have enough healthy hair at the donor site to be transplanted.

FUE versus FUT: Comparing Two Surgical Hair Restoration Procedures
Most hair transplant surgeons use two techniques to treat hair loss: follicular unit extraction and follicular unit transplantation, or FUT. The two differ mainly in the way that the hair follicles are harvested:
- During FUT surgery, a strip of skin is surgically taken from the back of the scalp. This graft is manually placed where new hair is needed.
- However, during FUE, small circular punches (smaller than one millimeter) are used to remove the most superficial layers of tissue. The follicles are then placed one by one where they are needed. Since FUE is minimally invasive, the technique results in less pain during and after the transplant, a lower risk of complications, and negligible scarring.

Benefits of Robotic Hair Transplant
Manual FUE techniques using handheld devices already offered a vast improvement over FUT, or strip surgery. But Dr. Galitzin has invested in the ARTAS Robotic system, the only technology of its kind to be approved by the FDA, for several reasons:
Negligible Risk of Human Error
FUE hair restoration takes several hours to complete. Manual techniques can leave practitioners prone to fatigue, resulting in a poor cosmetic outcome and a higher rate of complications. The robotic approach reduces risks dramatically.Less Trauma to Surrounding Tissue
ARTAS uses an intelligent algorithm to choose only the most viable hairs. This precision leaves the surrounding scalp and underlying tissue largely unaffected, resulting in less patient discomfort.More Natural-Looking Results
In the past, surgeons simply relied on an artistic eye to shape the hairline and other areas affected by hair loss. The ARTAS System incorporates Hair Studio® technology to generate a precise custom treatment plan. Patients can make slight modifications while previewing their results, then the computer-controlled device places the grafts according to pre-determined specifications.Interested in Hair Transplantation? Choose a Certified Hair Transplant Specialist
Like any type of surgery, surgical hair restoration does involve some degree of risk. If patients settle for a poorly trained practitioner, they are more likely to suffer from rare but serious side effects including infection in the donor or treatment site, numbness of the scalp, and prolonged pain or bleeding. In extreme cases, the grafts might be rejected altogether. It also goes without saying that a lack of training or trusted methods can result in extremely unnatural-looking results.

The ARTAS® Robotic Hair Restoration method ensures precise graft placement and high-quality, clinically proven results. We are proud to make this option available to patients throughout Newnan and surrounding communities.
Robot Hair Transplant Surgery Sounds Expensive Is It Worth the Extra Cost?
FUE transplant surgery normally costs more than the FUT procedure because it uses far more sophisticated technology. But if it is important to you to restore your hair in the most effective, state-of-the-art way possible, the extra cost is worth every penny - and every follicle.
Dr. Galitzin offers convenient, low-interest financing through CareCredit® to make robotic FUE transplant surgery more affordable to his Atlanta-area patients throughout Newnan and Peachtree City. During your consultation, we can explain your financing options and help you find a way to place the cost of this treatment within your budget.
Since FUE is minimally invasive, the technique results in less pain during and after the transplant, a lower risk of complications, and negligible scarring.
Can I Get Immediate Results?
We understand that some people suffering from hair loss are disappointed to hear it could take a substantial amount of time, up to several months or a year, in order to see new hair growth and real results. Many men and women still turn to wigs, and there is no denying that custom, quality hairpieces can be incredibly lifelike. Women in particular can also find satisfying results from tinted cosmetic sprays designed to temporarily fill in areas of the scalp.
It is important to keep in mind that some types of hair loss, such as alopecia areata, may naturally resolve within a year or so. But the only way to determine whether a hair transplant or other type of restoration is right for you is to meet with a qualified doctor like Joseph Galitzin of the Hair Restoration Institute of Georgia, serving Greater Atlanta.
