Let’s be honest — when your hair starts thinning, it’s not just a cosmetic concern. It’s personal. You notice it in photos. You catch it in your rearview mirror. You tilt your head just right in Zoom calls to hide the spot you’re hoping no one else sees.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone — and you’re definitely not stuck.
Modern hair grafting is giving people back the full, natural-looking hair they thought they’d lost forever. And unlike the powders, pills, and oils, this is real, visible, long-term change.
What Is Hair Grafting?
Hair grafting, also called a hair transplant, is a procedure where healthy hair follicles are moved from a part of your scalp where hair is still growing strong (usually the back or sides of the head) to areas where the hair is thinning or gone altogether.
At The Spiegel Center in Newton, just outside Boston, we use the most advanced method available today: FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction). This technique allows us to extract individual hair follicles without a long incision or stitches, which means:
- No linear scar
- Quicker recovery
- Natural-looking growth
- And results that blend seamlessly with your existing hair
Unlike outdated “hair plugs,” FUE delivers finer, more artistic results. It's your hair — just relocated.
Who Should Consider Hair Restoration?
Hair loss doesn’t discriminate. Men and women of all ages experience thinning hair, often due to:
- Genetics
- Aging
- Hormonal changes (especially post-pregnancy or menopause)
- Stress
- Certain medications
- Tight hairstyles or scalp trauma
Whether your hairline is creeping back, your crown is thinning, or you’ve got uneven facial hair or eyebrows, hair grafting can help.
At The Spiegel Center, we treat people who want to:
- Fill in bald or thinning areas
- Lower or reshape their hairline
- Add density to beards or eyebrows
- Restore hair after surgery or injury
We also work with patients who’ve had previous hair transplants and want improved results or touch-ups using today’s more refined techniques.
How Many Hair Grafts Do I Need?
It depends on the area you’re treating and the result you want. Some patients need just a few hundred grafts for a subtle enhancement. Others may benefit from 2,000 or more grafts for more significant hair restoration.
During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your donor area (the part of your scalp we take follicles from), the areas you’d like to improve, and your long-term goals. Using advanced imaging and years of aesthetic expertise, we’ll create a plan that’s completely customized to you.
And since your face is central to how others see you, our double board-certified facial plastic surgeons ensure every decision is made with facial harmony and natural aesthetics in mind.
Is the Procedure Painful?
Not at all. The area is numbed using local anesthesia, so you’ll be comfortable throughout the process. Most patients describe the sensation as mild pressure or tugging — nothing painful. Afterward, you might experience a little redness, swelling, or soreness, but most people are back to their usual routine within a few days.
Hair will start to grow in gradually over the following months, with full results appearing around 9 to 12 months post-procedure.

Still Wondering If It’s Worth It?
It’s easy to delay this kind of decision. But every time you catch your reflection and think, “That wasn’t there a year ago,” the urge to take action grows stronger.
If you’ve tried all the other stuff — serums, sprays, scalp massage, supplements — and still aren’t seeing the results you want, it’s time to consider something that works. Hair grafting is safe, natural, and designed to last.
