FUE Hair Transplant
in Torrance
Board-certified, ISHRS-trained surgical hair restoration with a personalized graft plan for natural, lasting results.
FUE Hair Transplant at a Glance
FUE, or follicular unit extraction, is a surgical hair restoration technique that removes individual hair follicles from a stable donor area and transplants them into thinning or balding areas, without a linear strip scar. Every patient is physiologically different, so before recommending a procedure we look closely at your specific pattern of hair loss to find the right approach for you. Your procedure is performed by Dr. Matt Tahsini, a board-certified hair surgeon and member of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS).
What Is FUE Hair Transplant?
FUE involves extracting individual follicular units, typically from the back and sides of the scalp where hair is genetically resistant to thinning, then placing them one by one into the recipient area to follow your natural growth pattern.
Follicle-by-Follicle Extraction
Individual grafts are removed using a small punch tool, leaving tiny dot scars rather than a single linear scar, so short haircuts stay an option afterward.
Personalized Graft Plan
Your surgeon maps a graft count and placement pattern based on your donor supply, hairline shape, and goals. No two plans are identical.
Board-Certified, ISHRS-Trained
Dr. Matt Tahsini is a board-certified hair surgeon and ISHRS member who has performed numerous FUE procedures.
A consultation maps your donor supply, hairline design, and realistic graft count before any procedure is scheduled.
Who FUE Is Best For
This page is educational. An in-person surgical consultation is required to confirm candidacy and build a safe, appropriate plan.
- Patients with a stable, healthy donor area at the back or sides of the scalp
- Pattern hair loss or thinning that has stabilized rather than rapidly progressing
- Realistic expectations about graft count, timeline, and final density
- Good general health with no active scalp conditions on the day of the procedure
- Willingness to follow aftercare instructions during the healing period
What We Evaluate Before Recommending It
Donor area density and long-term supply
Pattern and stage of hair loss, and whether it has stabilized
Realistic graft count for your goals and donor supply
Health history and any conditions that could affect healing
Hairline design and how it should age naturally over time
Whether PRP, medical therapy, or a combined approach may serve you better than surgery alone

Book Your Free ConsultationHow FUE Works
Donor Extraction
Individual follicular units are removed one at a time from the back and sides of the scalp using a small punch tool, leaving tiny dot scars.
Graft Preparation
Grafts are sorted and kept viable under magnification while your surgeon finalizes the placement plan.
Recipient Site Creation
Tiny recipient sites are made at an angle and direction that matches your natural growth pattern.
Graft Placement
Each graft is placed individually for a natural density gradient, rather than an even, unnatural-looking fill.
Individual follicles are extracted one at a time from the donor area using a small punch tool.
Grafts are placed one at a time to follow your natural hairline and growth direction.
FUE vs. Other Approaches
FUE vs. Strip Method (FUT)
FUE removes individual follicles and leaves tiny dot scars, keeping short haircuts an option. The strip method removes a linear section of scalp and leaves a single line scar, which can suit patients who need a very high graft count in one session and are comfortable keeping hair longer over the donor area.
FUE vs. PRP for Hair
FUE physically relocates permanent, growing hair follicles for patients with established thinning or balding. PRP uses your own platelet-rich plasma to support existing follicles and is best suited to early thinning where hair is still present but weakening, or as a complement after a transplant.
FUE vs. Non-Surgical Medical Therapy
Topical and oral medical therapies can slow further loss and support existing hair, but they do not add new follicles to a bald area. FUE is a surgical option for patients who want to restore density in an area that has already lost hair.

Typical Results Timeline
Shedding Phase
Transplanted hairs typically shed a few weeks after the procedure. This is a normal, expected part of the process, not a sign the graft failed, since the follicle itself remains in place.
New Growth Begins
Transplanted follicles begin producing new hair, though early growth can be fine and thin at first.
Visible Thickening
Hair continues to thicken and fill in as more follicles mature.
Full Results
Final density and texture are typically visible by this stage, reflecting your graft count, donor supply, and individual healing.
Our clinical team supports every step of your hair restoration journey, from consultation through aftercare.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who performs the procedure?
Dr. Matt Tahsini, a board-certified hair surgeon and member of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS), performs your procedure. He has performed numerous FUE procedures, with reviews available on RealSelf.
Does FUE leave a scar?
FUE leaves tiny dot scars scattered across the donor area rather than a single linear scar, so short haircuts remain an option for most patients once healed.
How many grafts will I need?
Graft count depends on your pattern of hair loss, donor supply, and goals. Your surgeon determines a specific number at your consultation.
Is it normal for transplanted hair to fall out?
Yes. Transplanted hairs typically shed a few weeks after the procedure before regrowing starting around months 3 to 4. This shedding phase is expected and does not mean the graft failed.
What is the recovery like?
Most patients return to work or normal activity within a few days. Your provider gives detailed aftercare instructions to protect the grafts during the first two weeks.
What does the 3000 Grafts Special Offer include?
If your surgeon determines fewer than 3000 grafts are needed, the remaining balance is eligible for a complimentary touch-up session anytime within the following 3 years. This is exclusive to scalp hair transplants and does not extend to eyebrow or beard transplants.
Is financing available?
Yes. Financing options are available through Cherry, Klarna, Affirm, and CareCredit, subject to approval. Your consultant can walk you through the options at your free consultation.
