How do Newport Beach Hair Transplant Treatments Work?
For years, there have been two tried-and-tested hair transplant techniques that surgeons have relied upon. Both of these methods focus on extracting hair follicles from the back of the scalp, where hair tends to be thick and healthy.
The first technique is called Follicular Unit Transplant, commonly known as FUT. This involves removing a strip of skin tissue from the back of the scalp and harvesting the hair follicles from that section. The second technique is a more modern option known as Follicular Unit Extraction, or FUE. In FUE, individual hair follicles are removed from a donor area on the scalp and then individually implanted into the balding area, creating a natural and full look.
Both methods involve inserting the follicles into the scalp through grafts, with the results being so natural that it will be impossible for anyone to notice... unless, of course, you decide to tell them!
What Causes Hair Loss?
There are many possible reasons why your hairline may appear to be receding in Newport Beach. For some, hair loss is a genetic condition that has been passed down through generations. Others might experience thinning hair due to medical conditions, medications, or supplements. Stress or the regular way in which hair is styled can also contribute to hair loss.
No matter what is causing your hairline to recede, the team at Zang SMP is ready to help.

A consultation with our hair transplant experts will allow us to determine the underlying cause of your hair loss and recommend the most appropriate treatment to restore your hair to its natural fullness while preventing further thinning.
Possible Side Effects of FUE
The FUE technique is one of the most advanced hair transplant procedures available in Newport Beach. It involves harvesting hair follicles from a discreet area on your scalp—an area that is typically hidden from view—and transplanting those follicles into thinning or bald spots on the scalp. The result is a natural look, as if hair has been growing in that area all along. There will be no noticeable signs of a transplant, and the transplanted follicles will help stimulate new hair growth, reducing or completely eliminating bald patches.
Here’s how the procedure works:
01
The hair transplant surgeon identifies a suitable donor area with healthy follicles. The donor area is shaved to ensure easy extraction.
02
The surgeon uses a micro-tool to extract the follicles, ensuring precision and minimal discomfort.
03
Small incisions are made at the transplant site, and the extracted follicles are carefully inserted into these incisions.
Conditions Treated
The FUE procedure is widely regarded as a standard approach to hair transplant surgery in Newport Beach. For the vast majority of patients, the process is smooth and successful. However, although exceedingly rare, some patients may encounter certain side effects. While uncommon, the following side effects have been reported:
01
Swelling
02
Numbness at the transplant site
03
Slight bleeding
The Follicle Unit Transplant Procedure
The FUT method offers a faster approach compared to the FUE technique, although it can be more invasive. The surgeon removes a small strip of skin from the scalp, the size of which is determined by the number of follicles needed to effectively cover the bald area. This strip is usually around half an inch wide but can vary slightly depending on the patient's needs. The follicles are then extracted and transplanted into the recipient area through small incisions.
Here are the steps for the procedure:
01
Local anesthesia is applied to numb the treatment areas.
02
The hair at the removal site is shaved down, and a small strip of skin is cut.
03
You won’t feel the incision due to the local anesthesia.
Possible Side Effects of FUT
As with FUE, the side effects of FUT are generally uncommon in Newport Beach. Nonetheless, a few patients have noted the following:

Scarring from FUT
In contrast to FUE, FUT surgery will leave a linear scar at the area of the scalp where skin was taken. This scar usually fades and becomes less visible with time, but it remains permanent. Longer hair tends to hide the scar, although shorter hairstyles may make it more noticeable.
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!
