Hair Transplant Tacoma
For residents of Tacoma, feeling confident in your appearance has a direct impact on daily life.

What Is a Hair Transplant?
A hair transplant is a refined procedure that relocates your own healthy, permanent hair follicles to areas where thickness and coverage are needed. Each follicular unit is placed with precision to match the natural angle and direction of your existing hair, creating results that blend seamlessly and look completely natural.
The two primary techniques include:
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction): This method is a great choice for our Tacoma patients who prefer a minimally invasive option with the quickest recovery. Since it leaves no linear scar, it is especially popular among individuals who like to maintain shorter hairstyles.
FUT/Strip (Follicular Unit Transplantation): This technique allows the largest number of grafts to be transplanted in a single procedure, making it ideal for patients with more advanced hair loss who want a dramatic change.
Dr. Javad Sajan partners closely with each patient from Tacoma and the surrounding communities to determine which technique best supports their lifestyle, career, and long-term hair restoration goals.
Benefits of a Hair Transplant in Tacoma
Choosing a hair transplant with Dr. Javad Sajan offers Tacoma patients a wide range of life-changing benefits:
- Restored Confidence: Enjoy fuller hair that can positively impact both personal and professional interactions in daily life.
- Long-Lasting Growth: Transplanted follicles are naturally resistant to DHT, the hormone linked to pattern baldness, ensuring permanent results.
- Low-Maintenance Solution: Unlike temporary fixes, hair transplants provide a durable, hassle-free approach to hair restoration.
- Natural Appearance: Each graft is placed to mimic your hair’s natural growth pattern, resulting in hair that looks and moves authentically.
- Age-Appropriate Hairlines: Carefully designed hairlines match facial features and age, creating balance and believability.
- Customized Treatment: Specific thinning or balding areas can be precisely targeted for tailored improvement.
- Styling Freedom: Patients can explore more hairstyles, including those addressing traction-related thinning often experienced by women.
- Minimal Scarring: Modern techniques ensure discreet, nearly invisible results.
- Reduced Dependence on Cover-Ups: With naturally restored hair, there’s less need for cosmetic camouflage products or hair systems.
Who is the Ideal Candidate for Hair Transplant Tacoma?
Our Tacoma hair transplant patients are often strong candidates if they experience:
- Pattern Hair Loss: Receding hairlines or thinning crowns with a strong donor hair supply are common concerns for residents in areas such as North End, Hilltop, Stadium District, and South Tacoma.
- Permanent, Low-Maintenance Results: Many professionals working in Downtown Tacoma or commuting along I-5 from Lakewood or Federal Way prefer a lasting solution that fits their busy schedules without requiring ongoing upkeep.
- Noticeable Baldness Under Lighting: Hair loss often becomes more visible in brightly lit environments such as office spaces, Tacoma restaurants, or while shopping at Tacoma Mall or strolling through Point Ruston.
- Self-Consciousness in Social Settings: A high hairline or thinning patches may stand out during activities like attending shows at the Tacoma Dome, enjoying waterfront views at Ruston Way, or gathering with friends in the bustling downtown district.
- Frustration with Cover-Ups: Patients often seek relief from relying on hats or head coverings, whether working near the Port of Tacoma, biking through Wright Park, or engaging in Tacoma’s growing tech and business hubs.
- Scar Camouflage or Density Restoration: Some patients want to restore density in areas like the eyebrows or beard, or conceal scars. This is a common request not only from Tacoma residents but also from nearby communities such as Puyallup, Gig Harbor, Auburn, and Olympia who seek natural, confidence-boosting outcomes.
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.
Recovery Timeline
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.
