How do Riverside Hair Transplant Treatments Work?
For many years, there have been two trusted hair transplant methods that surgeons have relied upon to treat hair loss. Both techniques involve the extraction of healthy hair follicles from a section at the back of the scalp, an area where hair growth is generally abundant.
The first method, Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT), involves removing a strip of skin tissue from the scalp and harvesting the hair follicles from that tissue. The second method, which is more modern and popular today, is known as Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). This technique involves removing individual hair follicles from a healthy section of the scalp and implanting them into the bald spots.
Both FUT and FUE techniques involve inserting hair follicles into the scalp using grafts, and both result in natural-looking hair growth.
The best part is that no one will be able to tell you’ve had a hair transplant unless you decide to share your transformation with them!
What Causes Hair Loss?
There are numerous reasons why your hairline may be receding in Riverside. For some, hair loss is simply a genetic trait passed down through generations. For others, it could be related to a medical condition or the side effects of medications or supplements. Stress, as well as how you regularly style your hair, can also cause thinning or bald patches.
No matter the cause of your hair loss, the team at Zang SMP is here to diagnose the problem and offer the best solutions for you. Thanks to the many advanced hair restoration treatments available today, there’s no reason to continue living with hair loss or thinning.

A consultation with our team of hair transplant experts will help us pinpoint the cause of your hair loss and determine the most effective treatment to restore your hair to its natural state, while also preventing further loss in the future.
Possible Side Effects of FUE
The FUE hair transplant technique offers a natural and effective solution for hair loss. The procedure involves extracting hair follicles from an area of the scalp that is typically inconspicuous and transplanting them into areas experiencing thinning or baldness. The outcome is entirely natural, as if the hair had been growing in those spots all along. The healthy follicles encourage new growth, effectively eliminating bald spots.
The procedure involves the following steps:
01
A suitable donor area on your scalp is identified, and this area is shaved to prepare for follicle extraction.
02
A micro-tool is used to carefully extract the follicles from the donor area.
03
Small incisions are then made in the bald or thinning regions, where the extracted follicles are transplanted.
Conditions Treated
FUE is a widely used and standard procedure for hair transplant surgery. However, as with any medical treatment, some patients may experience side effects. While these side effects are very rare, 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 in Riverside is often a faster procedure than FUE, though it is slightly more invasive. The surgeon removes a small strip of skin from the scalp, with the size of the strip depending on the number of follicles needed to cover the balding area. This strip is usually about half an inch in width, although it can vary depending on the case. The follicles are then carefully extracted and placed into the bald area through small incisions.
Here’s how the procedure is typically performed:
01
Local anesthesia is applied to numb the scalp areas where the procedure will occur.
02
The hair at the strip removal site is shaved, and the strip of skin is carefully excised.
03
Thanks to the anesthesia, you won’t feel any discomfort during the removal.
Possible Side Effects of FUT
Much like with FUE, the side effects of FUT are seldom seen in Riverside. However, some patients have experienced the following:

Scarring from FUT
Unlike the FUE method, FUT surgery will leave a linear scar where the skin has been removed from the scalp. While this scar will typically fade and be less visible, it will remain permanent. Longer hair generally obscures the scar, but shorter hairstyles might 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!
