Yes, there are several non-surgical hair loss restoration treatments available. Options such as Finasteride, the Lasercap, PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy, and topical formulas that we carry can help stop or even reverse hair loss—especially when started early. These treatments are effective for many patients looking to maintain or improve their hair without undergoing a procedure. However, if the hair loss is more advanced or severe, a hair transplant may be necessary to achieve the desired results.
The cost of a hair transplant depends on the number of grafts needed to achieve your desired results and the technique used (FUT or FUE). At DiStefano Hair Restoration, we provide a personalized quote during your consultation based on your hair loss pattern and goals. We’re committed to transparent pricing, and there are no hidden fees. Financing is also available through our partners at Cherry, and you can apply right on our website under the About Us section. However, you can expect to spend between $7,500-$15,000 depending on your needs.
Yes, there is follow-up care, but we make it simple. After your procedure, we provide you with a step-by-step, day-by-day pamphlet to guide you through taking care of your new hair. The aftercare process is very straightforward, and most patients experience little to no pain following the procedure.
For both FUT and FUE, we recommend avoiding physical activities for 14 days to ensure proper healing. With FUT, you’ll return to the clinic after two weeks to have the staples removed. FUE, on the other hand, does not require staple removal.
Overall, the healing process is smooth, and most patients return to work within 3–5 days.
Finasteride (Propecia)
Finasteride is a prescription drug for men and is taken orally once a day. Women should not take or handle the tablets because Finasteride can cause birth defects. Studies indicate that Finasteride stops hair loss on the scalp and can regrow hair. We recommend that all hair loss patients, including those with hair transplants, take Finasteride.
Formula 82M & Formula 82F
These are advanced topical hair loss treatments available for both men and women. They are specially compounded to improve absorption and reduce common side effects associated with standard topical solutions. Applied directly to the scalp, Formula 82M (typically for men) and Formula 82F (for women) can help slow hair loss and stimulate regrowth. Studies have shown that these formulas are particularly effective for patients under 30 and for those who have been experiencing hair loss for less than five years. Be sure to ask us about them—both are available through our clinic and website.
Yes. We harvest your own hair from your healthy donor area from the back and sides of your head, and transplant that hair to where you need it most. This hair is unaffected by DHT and will not fall out in the future.
Because donor hair is removed from the back of the head it is not subject to the effects of DHT, the substance that causes male pattern baldness. No matter where the hairs are transplanted, their resistance to DHT means that they are likely to survive and grow for the life of the patient.
In many patients experiencing hair loss, the use of medications, such as Propecia, are sufficient to control hair loss. Early use of medication can delay or eliminate the need for a hair transplant. In other cases, hair loss restoration surgery may be required along with the use of medications. An evaluation is needed to determine whether a hair transplant is the proper procedure.
Yes! We offer financing through our partners at Cherry, making it easier to get the treatment you need without delay. You can apply directly on our website under the About Us section.
At DiStefano Hair Restoration, you will always receive the exact number of grafts you paid for—often more, at no extra charge. Unlike some clinics that may split grafts and count them as multiple to inflate numbers, we believe in complete transparency: one graft is one graft. We carefully evaluate what you need to achieve your hair restoration goals and design your procedure to deliver that precise number of grafts.
No! In addition to being a hair restoration expert, Dr. Heinis is also a current and practicing ER physician. He stays up to date not only with the latest advancements in hair transplant techniques, but also with the most current practices and treatments in modern medicine.
A hair transplant is a great investment, but it deserves to be protected. Medicine is not a perfect science and sometimes not all of the transplanted grafts will grow. At DiStefano Hair Restoration Center we stand by our results. About 92‐95% of the transplanted grafts are expected to grow, however if a patient is unsatisfied after 15 months, we pledge to replace any graft that did not grow at no charge, pending they follow the recommended therapy plan given at the time of surgery.
Our practice has performed over 20,000 hair transplants over the course of 25+ years.
