At his Las Vegas location, triple board-certified physician Dr. Ahmed leads the way with a graft-by-graft hair transplant technique to provide hair restoration that could just give you a new lease on life! Dr. Ahmed performs hair transplants by hand. His meticulous technique offers patients considerable advantages and a more natural-looking, fuller head of hair.
Hair transplantation is a surgical procedure that extracts hair follicles from one area of the body and grafts them onto a recipient site where a patient’s hair is thinning or absent.
Hair transplant techniques can be utilized by surgeons to treat androgenic alopecia successfully. This condition is a permanent form of hair loss. It is more commonly known as male pattern baldness (MPB), although it is also found in women and has different terminology despite having the same histological causes.
As we age, the regenerative cycle of growth and regrowth shortens until some hair follicles are no longer effective. 85% of men will experience varying degrees of hair loss over the course of their lives, so it is important for cosmetic surgeons to provide viable aesthetic solutions to those for whom hair loss is traumatic, aesthetically unappealing, and embarrassing.

Put bluntly, baldness can make us unhappy. Hair loss can often be a traumatic experience that has a profound effect on our self-esteem and social confidence, regardless of our age, gender, or background. A hair transplant procedure has numerous benefits, which may include:
Take control of your hair loss by scheduling a personal hair regeneration consultation with Dr. Ahmed. Call (702) 447-1257 to arrange an individual appointment to discuss your hair transplant goals.
The Hamilton-Norwood Scale is a classification method used in MPB. It rates the severity of hair loss from one (mild) to seven (severe). Patients in good general health who have been balding for longer than five years and who have hair loss beyond stage 3 on the Hamilton-Norwood Scale may benefit the most from a hair transplant procedure. Candidates should be between 25 and 65, although the ideal candidate is around 40. At this stage in life, the cause and severity of the patient’s hair loss have been explored fully. Additionally, patients must have enough good-quality hair in the donor area for transplantation. During your one-on-one consultation with Dr. Ahmed, he will assess the severity of your hair loss and offer his expert advice to assist you in your path toward hair rejuvenation.
Getting Started
A personal consultation with Dr. Ahmed is an opportunity for you to discuss your concerns about your hair loss and tell him about your long-term hair restoration goals. At this time, you will learn about the effective transplantation technique employed by Dr. Ahmed. He will then tailor a hair transplant plan to suit your individual needs. We want you to regain your confidence in your appearance, so put your trust in the safe hands of Dr. Ahmed and let him provide the relief you have been looking for!
Manual hair transplantation requires the utmost skill and patience, so much so that many surgeons consider it to be an art rather than a mere surgical procedure! Dr. Ahmed uses manual Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) to remove donor hair, which may take several hours. In manual FUE, surgeons carefully cut around each minuscule unit individually with handheld tools. This painstaking technique requires extreme precision and surgical skill, but the results are worth waiting for!
After ensuring the donor area is thoroughly cleaned and numbed, he will shave the donor area of hair. He will carefully harvest hair follicles, then meticulously graft hair manually onto the area of hair loss. This process is done with a special punch, without the use of robotic instruments, so the results are precise, and the graft quality is high. The typical punch size for this precise instrument is between 0.7 mm and 0.8 mm. Hair by hair, Dr. Ahmed will artfully position each strand at the optimal angle and depth that compliments your existing hair pattern. He will create a natural look by skillfully following the existing follicular pattern on your scalp and seamlessly blending the grafted hair in.
Manual FUE techniques preserve the quality of hair follicles for donation, so many surgeons believe they are superior to other methods of hair transplantation. As with any precise surgical procedure, you will feel temporary scalp pain after your surgery. Dr. Ahmed can prescribe medication for this and may prescribe additional anti-inflammatories or antibiotics to aid healing. He will advise you on how best to mitigate the temporary discomfort during your healing process.
Most patients find that they are able to return to work and most regular activities 2-5 days after their hair transplant procedure. Two to three weeks later, you may notice the grafted hair start to fall out. This is a normal occurrence after hair transplant surgery, as the donor follicle should then be stimulated to form and grow hair independently once its original hair is gone. Manual FUE garners fantastic results and satisfied patients. It provides a natural-looking head of hair and a much-needed boost of confidence!
Investment in Yourself
The final price of your hair transplant procedure will vary according to your individual circumstances. Pricing for manual FUE will depend on a number of factors, including the number of units transplanted, the quality and structure of your hair, and how many sessions you book. During your personal consultation, Dr. Ahmed will be able to assess your hair loss visibly and then estimate how many units he will need to harvest for your desired results.
