Beverly Hills Hair Transplant Surgeon

Beverly Hills hair transplant surgeon Dr. Parsa Mohebi was featured on Beverly Hills Courier Magazine. The article that was published was titled “Surgeon Restores Patients’ Hair, Self-Confidence” went over doctor Mohebi’s extensive research on technical aspects of hair transplant surgery as well as consideration of psychological and social aspects of hair restoration on men’s lives.

Dr. Parsa Mohebi, the medical director of US Hair Restoration stated that with the new techniques of hair restoration, creating totally undetectable results is easily obtainable. US Hair Restoration is located at Los Angeles, California, but it is also considered a national hair transplant service by accepting patient’s from other major cities including Manhattan, New York, Chicago, Dallas, San Francisco San Diego and many other metropolitan areas.

Below is a summary of the article in which psychological impacts of hair restoration on men was discussed in more details. Some of the new methods for hair transplants were also explored. Many of these techniques are used for celebrity hair transplants in Beverly Hills and Hollywood.

The article said that it is obvious that nothing looks better than a full head of hair, and one of the best people to provide it is Dr. Parsa Mohebi, medical director of US Hair Restoration.

Mohebi specializes in several hair transplantation methods:

  1. Follicular Unit Transplants (FUT) , which is known as the gold standard of hair-transplant surgery, Mohebi said, giving very natural results. A strip of donor scalp skin is removed and the follicles are harvested under microscopes and distributed in the bald area in the natural direction and orientation.
  2. Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), also called non-invasive hair-restoration surgery, uses special biopsy devices to extract individual follicular units without having to remove a strip of skin; so there is no linear scar.
  3. Mohebi also specializes in eyebrow transplants for both men and women.
  4. As testament to his skills, he also repairs bad or “pluggy” transplants, performed by other doctors. “We do several repair hair transplant surgeries a month,” he says.

Dr. Mohebi, Los Angeles hair transplant doctor spends an hour with each new patient and does a microscopic evaluation of the scalp so called miniaturization study on every one to predict the hair loss. “That way we’re not limited to the obviously bald areas, but we can transplant hair to where the patient may lose hair in the future. With the technology we have now, there’s no reason for anyone to experience hair loss.”

As a fellowship-trained hair-transplant surgeon, Dr. Parsa Mohebi continues research the latest high-transplant techniques and his articles have been presented and published in both national and international medical-society publications.

The article continues with discussing the published research on the psychology of hair transplant in men, which was finished last year: Dr. Mohebi’s latest article was the cover story for Hair Transplant Forum International, considered the most important journal in the field of hair restoration, on The Psychology of Hair Transplants. From research in Europe, we know that people with hair loss are prone to anxiety, depression and other psychological problems; we tried to see if we can reverse that with hair restoration surgery.

Los Angeles hair transplant doctor, Dr. Mohebi evaluated 200 patients after surgery in eight criteria, and saw improvements with FUT in terms of happiness, youthfulness, energy levels, self-esteem and self confidence, future outlook and impact on their career and sex life. The results were amazing and improvements in all eight criteria were statistically significant. The authors, Dr. Mohebi and Dr. Rassman concluded that using the new techniques of hair restoration patient can drastically improve all of the psycho-social impacts of hair loss.

The reporter then set aside US Hair restoration and Dr. Mohebi from many other major Los Angeles hair transplant clinics and LA and Beverly Hills hair transplant surgeons by several factors such as following the latest standards of hair restoration surgery in the rapidly progressing field of hair restoration surgery. What was done five years ago is not acceptable today. We have the most experienced technicians; and everything is done under microscopes to get the highest yield of hair.

Then there’s the customer service. “The day of the hair transplant procedure is a big day for patients,” Mohebi said, “often six to eight hours. Patients are usually amazed at how smooth and pleasant the day is. For US Hair Restoration every hair transplants are celebrity hair transplants.

The affordable hair transplant surgery at US Hair Restoration has made it possible to get inexpensive hair transplant in Los Angeles with the highest quality.

Since the newly placed follicles are so fragile, patients return the next day to get their hair washed professionally at one of the California hair transplant offices, given special shampoo and taught how to take care of their hair at home. “After five days, no special care is needed,” Mohebi said.

At ten days after the surgery, patients return to have the donor site checked and staples removed for those who had them. Hair starts growing after three months, and is long enough to style and comb after ten to twelve months. The third follow up visit is at eight to ten months after the procedure.

Severe baldness may require more than one surgery, generally spaced at least six months apart. “With megasession hair transplants we can do 4,000 grafts in one day, which includes around 8000 hair follicles. That significant number is a great help to patients with a high class of baldness. We can get a higher stage of restoration with fewer sessions of transplants.”

Continuing to pioneer in the field, Dr. Mohebi is the inventor of the Laxometer, a device to measure the laxity or mobility of the scalp. Laxity of the scalp is key in determining the size of the donor strip so that enough can be removed for bigger cases, and the wound can be closed without too much tension and the scaring will be minimal.

To help people stay abreast of all that’s happening the field of hair restoration, and to answer questions (he’s heard from Europe and China) Dr. Mohebi maintains a hair restoration blog.
