Hair Transplant Portland
For people living in Portland, confidence can make all the difference. Whether spending time in the Pearl District, commuting across the Burnside Bridge, or managing a busy schedule downtown, the way you feel about your appearance matters. Hair loss should never hold you back.
Dr. Javad Sajan is the trusted expert for Portland patients seeking a permanent, natural-looking solution. Known for his refined hairline artistry and discreet patient care, he has made Allure Esthetic the premier destination for residents from Portland, including neighborhoods such as Hawthorne, Sellwood, Alberta, and Irvington.

What Is a Hair Transplant?
A hair transplant is a meticulous procedure that moves your own healthy, permanent hair follicles to areas where density is needed. Each follicular unit is carefully placed to match your natural hair’s angle and direction, resulting in a seamless and natural appearance.
The two main techniques are:
- FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction): This is an ideal choice for our Portland patients seeking a minimally invasive option with the fastest recovery. It leaves no linear scar, making it a preferred solution for those who enjoy shorter hairstyles.
- FUT/Strip (Follicular Unit Transplantation): This method enables the highest number of grafts to be transplanted in a single session, making it well-suited for patients with more advanced hair loss who seek a dramatic transformation.
Dr. Javad Sajan works closely with each patient from Portland and the surrounding areas to choose the technique that best aligns with their lifestyle, career, and long-term hair restoration goals.

Who is the Ideal Candidate for Hair Transplant Portland?
Our Portland hair transplant patients are often excellent candidates if they experience:
- Pattern hair loss, such as a receding hairline or thinning crown, with a strong donor hair supply. This is a frequent concern for residents in neighborhoods like the Pearl District, Sellwood, Alberta Arts District, and Irvington.
- A desire for a permanent, low-maintenance solution that supports a busy lifestyle. Professionals commuting between Downtown Portland, Beaverton, and Lake Oswego often seek a treatment that keeps them looking confident without constant upkeep.
- Baldness that becomes noticeable under bright lighting, whether in office spaces, Portland restaurants, or while shopping in popular areas such as Pioneer Place and Lloyd Center.
- Self-consciousness about a high hairline or thinning patches during social or recreational activities, whether cycling along the Eastbank Esplanade, enjoying concerts at Moda Center, or gathering with friends in Portland’s lively Pearl District.
- Frustration with relying on hats or head coverings to mask baldness, whether while working near Portland International Airport (PDX), biking across Tilikum Crossing, or navigating Portland’s tech and startup hubs.
- The need to camouflage scars or restore density in areas like the eyebrows or beard. This is a common request from patients across Portland, as well as nearby communities such as Tigard, Gresham, Vancouver (WA), and Lake Oswego, who seek natural, confidence-boosting results.
Procedure Walkthrough
Personalized planning
Your consultation includes a detailed scalp and hair analysis (donor density/quality, thinning pattern, hair caliber/curl) and goals. Dr. Sajan recommends FUE or FUT based on hairstyle, graft needs, and donor availability.
Anesthesia and comfort
Most hair transplants are performed under local anesthesia with optional oral sedation. The scalp is thoroughly numbed for comfort.
Hidden incisions (donor area)
- FUE: Tiny micro-punch sites are dispersed across the donor zone, resulting in minimal, dot-like scarring that is virtually undetectable with short hair.
- FUT: A narrow strip is removed and closed with a fine, trichophytic technique, allowing the surrounding hair to help conceal a thin, linear scar.
Donor harvesting
- FUE: Individual follicular units (1–4 hairs) are gently extracted and grouped by hair count.
- FUT: The strip is microscopically dissected into precise grafts to maximize follicle survival.
Recipient-site creation
Dr. Sajan crafts ultra-refined sites that dictate the angle, direction, and density of new growth. Single-hair grafts create a soft, natural hairline; multi-hair grafts add density behind it. Crown whorls and part lines are recreated to match your native pattern.
Graft placement
The Allure Esthetic team places grafts with careful attention to hydration, temperature, and alignment to protect follicle health and ensure seamless blending.
Closing & dressing
The donor area is closed (FUT) or cleaned (FUE), and a light dressing may be applied. You’ll receive written instructions, medications as indicated, and supplies for home care.
Immediate post-op care
You’ll go home the same day. Rest with your head elevated, use saline spray as directed, and avoid touching or rubbing the grafts. Follow-up is scheduled before you leave.
Recovery & Aftercare
Recovery is typically straightforward. Mild tenderness, a sense of tightness, and tiny scabs in the recipient area are common early on. Most patients resume desk work within a week. Expect early regrowth at 3–4 months, visible thickening by 6–9 months, and final caliber and density between 12–18 months. Protect grafts, follow the wash routine, and avoid friction and sunburn for best results.
Aftercare Guidelines
Week 1: Initial downtime
- Rest with head elevated 30–45°; avoid bending/straining and sleeping face-down.
- Use saline spray and gentle scalp care exactly as instructed.
- Begin gentle washing around day 4 (no rubbing or high-pressure water on grafts).
- Tiny scabs form and naturally loosen.
- FUE: Keep micro-dot donor sites clean and irritation-free.
- FUT: Follow incision care; plan suture/staple removal at 10–14 days.
- Most patients return to non-physical work within a few days.
Weeks 2–4: Healing in progress
- “Shock shedding” of transplanted hairs is common; follicles remain alive under the skin.
- Itching may occur.
- Light cardio can be resumed after 10–14 days if cleared; avoid heavy lifting and high-intensity workouts until the grafts are secure.
- Protect the scalp from the sun; a loose, clean hat is okay once approved.
- Avoid pools, hot tubs, saunas, and steam rooms for at least 2 weeks.
Weeks 4–6: Back to routine
- Gradually resume more strenuous exercise if cleared.
- Most hair products can be reintroduced; avoid harsh chemicals until approved.
- Hair coloring/chemical treatments are typically safe at 4–6 weeks if the scalp is fully healed.
- Continue sun protection to prevent scalp burn and color contrast.
Months 3–4: Early regrowth
- Fine, lighter hairs emerge; density builds gradually.
- Maintain gentle hair care and sun protection.
Months 6–9: Visible thickening
- Hair gains strength and styling versatility; many patients consider trims and new styles.
