Hair loss affects thousands of men and women in Kirkland—whether it’s a thinning crown, a receding hairline, or unexpected patches. For many people, it is more than cosmetic; it undermines self‑esteem and social comfort.
Many people find themselves avoiding mirrors, wearing hats in public, or feeling uncomfortable in group photos. You may have tried thickening sprays, special hairstyles, or supplements, but waiting often worsens the condition and impacts overall wellness.
The good news? You do not have to live with hair loss anymore.
At the Gallery of Cosmetic Surgery in Kirkland, we offer advanced hair‑transplant solutions—FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation)—both of which restore your natural hairline with precision and care.
Hair Transplant Options Available in Kirkland
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
FUE is a high-tech, low-stress hair restoration option. In this case, tiny micro-punch tools are used, so you can keep your hair short without worrying about a long scar. At The Gallery of Cosmetic Surgery, FUE begins at $5 per graft, and we use advanced (often robotic) systems to boost precision.Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)
FUT, often called the ‘strip method,’ removes a narrow strip of scalp from the back of the head, which is then divided into grafts to fill thinning areas. It is an excellent choice for patients who need many grafts in one session. The procedure typically starts at $4.50 per graft at The Gallery and is recommended on a case‑by‑case basis.Advanced / Robotic FUE
With advanced FUE, we use specialized imaging software and robotic assistance to map the entire scalp, assess the strongest follicular units on the scalp, and improve the harvesting process.Revision Hair Transplants
If your first hair transplant didn’t quite meet your expectations, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to settle. Dr. Craig Jonov specializes in revision procedures using Precision FUE to reshape unnatural hairlines, fill in thinning spots, and minimize scarring from past surgeries. Whether you’re looking to fix a few details or completely redo the outcome, this is your chance to finally feel confident about your results and love the way your hair looks.Beard Transplants
A beard transplant can restore thickness, shape, and definition to areas with patchy or uneven facial hair. Using the same FUE technique as scalp restoration, healthy hair follicles—typically taken from the back of the scalp—are gently extracted and implanted into the beard zone, including the cheeks, jawline, and mustache area. At The Gallery of Cosmetic Surgery, beard transplants are typically priced at $8 per graft and are carefully tailored to match your facial features and desired beard style.
Eyebrow Transplants
Eyebrow transplants are ideal for individuals with sparse, over-plucked, or asymmetrical brows. This procedure uses the FUE method to carefully place individual hair grafts into the brow area, enhancing fullness while creating a natural arch and shape. At The Gallery, eyebrow transplants start at $7,500 total, with each treatment customized to complement your facial proportions and aesthetic goals.
Benefits of Hair Transplant
- Natural aesthetics: To achieve an authentic appearance, each graft is placed carefully to follow the natural growth pattern of your hair – everything possible will be done to avoid the unnatural appearance often associated with previous hair transplant techniques.
- Virtually undetectable scars: With FUE, most patients have a quick healing process with small marks that are hardly noticeable.
- Lasting results: Donor follicles are largely resistant to DHT, so transplanted hair typically grows for years.
- Boosted self‑esteem & styling freedom: A fuller hairline provides more options – from buzz cuts to ponytails.
- Single‑day outpatient care – Procedures last 2–8 hours, and most patients head home the same afternoon.
What to Expect at Your Appointments
- Comprehensive Consultation: Dr. Jonov will begin by examining your scalp, reviewing photos, and discussing your medical history and pattern of hair loss. From there, he’ll provide a personalized graft estimate along with a clear, upfront quote tailored to your goals.
- Pre‑Op Preparation: Before your procedure, you may be asked to trim or shave the donor area for a smoother hair transplant. Additionally, you should avoid nicotine, alcohol, blood thinners, and vigorous exercise for a few days, as these can affect healing and may increase complication risk.
- Procedure Day: On the day of your appointment, the procedure begins with local anesthesia, with the option for oral or IV sedation to help you relax. Hair follicles are then carefully harvested—using FUE, FUT, or robotic FUE—followed by the precise and artistic placement of each graft for natural-looking results.
Recovery Timeline & After-Care
| Timeframe | What Happens | Tips |
| 0–3 Days | Mild swelling, tiny crusts around grafts. | Sleep with head elevated; use prescribed saline spray. |
| 1 Week | Resume desk work & light activities; avoid heavy lifting. | Wear a loose hat if desired; no vigorous exercise yet. |
| 2–4 Weeks | Transplanted hairs shed (“shock‑loss”)—normal part of the cycle. | Keep scalp moisturized and protected from the sun. |
| 3–6 Months | New hairs emerge, gradually thickening. | Consider low-level laser or PRP injections to optimize growth. |
Potential Side Effects
- Temporary redness, scabbing, or mild numbness near donor/recipient sites.
- Less‐than‑1 mm punch sites drastically reduce infection or scarring risks compared with older strip excisions.
- Choosing an experienced, board‑certified team like Dr. Jonov’s keeps complication rates extremely low.
