Savannah is a hard place to hide thinning hair. Between the humidity, the heat, and a calendar that runs on boat days, River Street evenings, and weddings in the squares, your hair is out in the open most of the year. Patients travel to Hair Restoration Savannah from Pooler, Richmond Hill, Wilmington Island, Hinesville, Statesboro, and across the bridge from Bluffton and Hilton Head. Every consultation starts with an honest look at your donor area and a straight answer about what is realistic for your hair type, your age, and your budget. You can review before and after results from local patients before you book, and follow-up visits are always complimentary.

Hair loss appears as a receding hairline, overall thinning, a balding crown, or sparse eyebrows, and the cause determines the right treatment. Full, healthy hair reads as youth and vitality, and that holds true for men and women of every ethnic background.

Hair loss in men is usually androgenetic alopecia, meaning it is progressive and genetic. Treating the crown and the hairline in the same session can require a large number of grafts, which is where the FUT strip method earns its place. Women lose hair for different reasons. Along with pattern thinning, women commonly deal with traction alopecia from tight braids and extensions, hormonal shifts after pregnancy, thyroid conditions, and the drop in estrogen during perimenopause and menopause.

A hair transplant restores hair permanently because follicles taken from the back of the scalp are genetically programmed not to fall out, so they keep growing wherever they are placed. NeoGraft leaves no linear scar at the donor site, which matters if you keep your hair short. Dr. Finger performs the strip technique with enough skill that the resulting line is difficult to spot, and it delivers more grafts in a single visit. You can compare NeoGraft and the strip method side by side before your consultation.

Not every patient needs surgery. PRP scalp therapy uses platelets drawn from your own blood to strengthen follicles that are weakening but still alive. PRP works on its own for early thinning, and paired with a transplant it can improve the survival rate of grafted hair. 

The First NeoGraft Clinic in the Coastal Empire

Dr. E. Ronald Finger introduced NeoGraft to the Savannah area more than a decade ago and was performing strip transplants long before that. He still offers both methods, because both still have a place. Neither requires general anesthesia, and both produce hair that grows, sheds, and can be cut like the hair you were born with. If you want the mechanics, here is how NeoGraft works, step by step.

Follicular Unit Extraction uses no scalpel and no stitches, keeps healing time short, and allows up to 2,500 grafts in a single procedure. Graft placement is performed by experienced hair technicians with Dr. Finger on site for pre-surgery and post-surgery consultations. For patients who are not ready for surgery, or who want to protect the hair they still have, Hair Restoration Savannah offers DE|RIVE hair growth treatment, a plant-based option delivered with microneedling.

Ask Dr. Finger which approach fits you. He will tell you straight, including when the answer is to wait. If you want to plan ahead, here is what hair restoration costs at our Savannah office.
