How do Grand Prairie Hair Transplant Treatments Work?
Surgeons have been using two main types of hair transplant techniques for years, each designed to restore hair by extracting healthy follicles from the back of the scalp, where hair growth is dense and abundant.
The first method is known as Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT), which involves the removal of a strip of skin from the back of the scalp, from which hair follicles are harvested. The second, and more modern approach, is Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). FUE involves removing individual follicles from a donor area and then implanting them directly into areas experiencing hair loss.
Both FUT and FUE require the insertion of these follicles into the scalp through grafts, and both produce results that look entirely natural.
The results are so seamless that no one will know you’ve had the procedure—unless, of course, you decide to tell them about your journey!
What Causes Hair Loss?
There are various factors that can contribute to a receding hairline in Grand Prairie. For some individuals, hair loss is a hereditary condition that’s passed down from one generation to the next. Others might experience hair thinning due to a medical condition, side effects from medications, or certain supplements. Even stress and frequent hair styling can lead to hair loss.

Possible Side Effects of FUE
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is a popular and advanced technique for hair restoration. The procedure involves extracting hair follicles from an area of your scalp that is discreet and transplanting them into areas where baldness or thinning has occurred. This technique offers a completely natural look, blending seamlessly with your existing hair, and there will be no visible signs of a transplant. The transplanted follicles will stimulate growth in the treated areas, minimizing or eliminating baldness.
The process unfolds as follows:
01
The surgeon selects a donor area on your scalp that is suitable for follicle extraction, and the area is shaved for easy access.
02
Using a specialized micro-tool, the surgeon extracts the follicles and prepares them for transplantation.
03
Small incisions are made in the thinning or bald area, and the follicles are inserted into these incisions.
Conditions Treated
FUE is a common and effective hair transplant procedure in Grand Prairie, typically yielding excellent results. That said, some patients may experience mild side effects. Although very uncommon, a few individuals have reported the following:
01
Swelling
02
Numbness at the transplant site
03
Slight bleeding
The Follicle Unit Transplant Procedure
The FUT method is commonly used because it is typically faster than FUE, though slightly more invasive. The surgeon removes a small strip of skin from the scalp, with the size of the strip determined by the number of follicles needed to cover the bald area. The strip is usually around half an inch wide but may vary. These follicles are then transplanted into the bald areas using small incisions.
The steps involved in the procedure are:
01
Local anesthesia is applied to numb the scalp areas being treated.
02
The hair at the strip removal site is shaved down, and a small strip of skin is cut.
03
You won’t feel any pain during the incision due to the anesthesia.
Possible Side Effects of FUT
As with FUE, side effects from FUT are typically rare in Grand Prairie. Still, some patients have reported experiencing the following:

Scarring from FUT
Unlike FUE, the FUT procedure leaves behind a linear scar at the site where the skin is removed from the scalp. This scar will usually fade and become less noticeable, but it remains permanent. The length of your hair will usually cover the scar, though shorter hairstyles may make it easier to see.
Zang is THE most skilled and experienced SMP practitioner BY FAR. I have had multiple treatments with him to fill in the density in my hair and beard, and the results are amazing. People don't even believe I've had anything done until I show them my before/after pics. Zang is a great guy with an incredible attention to detail, and his work has restored my confidence big time. I really can't recommend him enough. 5 stars!

Just finished my 3rd session with Walter, best investment ever. I've tried everything short of a hair transplant over the past ten years and eventually stumbled upon SMP. I searched and researched the best SMP practitioners in the country and then decided to call the folks at Zang. Ridwan expertly walked me through the whole procedure and answered all of my questions.
If you're comfortable with the buzz cut look, SMP is the only way to go. And the team at Zang SMP are the real deal, true artists.

As a female, I didn't want to leave a public review in fear of someone I know seeing it - but at the same time, I want everyone to know about the amazingness that Zang SMP is!!! As someone who struggled with severe postpartum hair loss and a receding hair line, I really thought I would be a slave to hair powders and fillers for life (if not a transplant) and that has all changed!! I cannot say enough wonderful things about the entire experience!! If you are female and hesitant to do this, DON'T BE!!! It will change your life!!! Huge thank you to Ridwan, Walter, and the rest of the guys at Zang!! Forever grateful!

I don't normally write reviews cause it's a waste of my time but I have to this time. Over the last 20 years, I've done 3 hair transplant procedures and I was not happy with the results. I started looking into SMP and call many places before I settled with ZangSMP. It's a bit more expensive but let me tell you, worth every pennies. After the 2nd time, everyone said there's no sign that I was ever bald. And what can I say about Walter. I couldn't thank him enough. He gave me the confident I needed and a new look in life. He's such a perfectionist and took the time to do it right and make sure I'm happy with the result. I even recommended my brother to give him a call.

Thank u so much Walter and Ridd for your excellent customer service and I can't be any happier with the results. Walter is truly a master of his craft and he was able to hide my scar very well. I had gone to a different smp place before but wasnt happy with results. Zang Smp gave me the results I was looking for. There a reason why they have 5 stars on their reviews! Highly recommend!

These guys changed my life for the better. I have had alopecia for 10 years, wearing wigs and being generally uncomfortable. I was looking for a long-term solution to my alopecia and this was it. Ridwan is a delight to set things up with, and Walter has a real eye for the details. This is worth the money. A load has been lifted and I couldn’t be happier. My only regret is not coming here sooner!
