Male Hair Transplant
Advanced Male Hair Transplant Procedures at New Horizons in Skokie, IL
A male hair transplant is a surgical procedure aimed at addressing male-pattern baldness or hair thinning by relocating healthy hair follicles from the donor area, typically the back or sides of the scalp, to regions experiencing hair loss. While female hair transplants have gained popularity, male hair restoration remains the primary focus of our practice at New Horizons.
We specialize in Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplantation, which allows for the correction of male pattern baldness without the noticeable and often painful linear scars associated with strip Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) procedures. This advanced method involves extracting individual hair follicles and transplanting them to the thinning areas, resulting in a fuller and natural-looking head of hair.
Our transformative hair restoration procedures not only enhances the patient's overall appearance but also boosts their confidence. At New Horizons in Skokie, IL, our experienced team is dedicated to providing personalized care and exceptional results for every patient.
Schedule a consultation today to explore how our male hair transplant services can help you achieve a rejuvenated and confident look.

Hair Transplantation FAQs
Not always, but it helps. A buzz cut allows for larger, megasession harvests of up to 3,500 FUEs in one session. Also, buzz cuts allow for the even spreading of harvest sites, resulting in more uniform distribution. For those who like very short haircuts, buzz cuts help avoid the “window effect.”
However, If you prefer to keep your hair long we can utilize the “stealth” technique. If your donor hair is long enough, harvesting using the FUE can be done by shaving small areas that can be covered by your other existing hair. However, this approach is limited to cases of 1,200 FU or less.
Yes, we offer temporary covers prepared by our experienced technicians than can camouflage donor sites. This allows for large sessions (as much as 3,000 FUE). While we still need to shave the back of your head, after about a week of initial healing, donor sites can be covered with temporary hairpieces until your donor site grows out enough to make you feel comfortable (usually about a month). Our skilled technicians can make these temporary covers undetectable! This hairpiece option is very popular with our patients, especially those who are in business, lawyers, artists etc.
Yes, when performed by skilled professionals, a male hair transplant results in natural-looking hair. The transplanted hair follows the natural growth pattern, ensuring a seamless and authentic appearance.
After the procedure, the transplanted hair typically sheds within the first few weeks, followed by a natural growth cycle. Visible results become apparent over the following months.
While individual healing timelines may vary, most individuals can typically resume regular activities within a week or two after the procedure. It is advisable to avoid strenuous activities and direct sun exposure during the initial weeks to facilitate optimal healing.
