Welcome

Here at the NHT (Natural Hair Transplant Medical Center), we offer the latest in 4th generation FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) technology.

  • We utilize the latest techniques, together with our proprietary NHT Anesthesia Method to provide for a painless, highly effective solution for your hair loss needs.
  • We have over 30 years of experience, and we have seen many, many different hair transplantation techniques such as the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) technique as well as more traditional FUT techniques.
  • We have incorporated the most successful aspects of each of these techniques, resulting in our exclusive 4th generation FUT technology.
  • We do not offer FUE nor the traditional FUT method here at the NHT Medical Center.

To ensure the absolute best outcome and result, here at NHT we sincerely believe that surgery must be combined with medical (pharmaceutical) treatment.

  • This is essential for most patients, and it is especially true for our younger ones.
  • In our experience, those who end up returning for repeat surgeries always have failed to take medication to prevent future hair loss.
  • While repeat surgeries would mean more business for us, we firmly believe in this paradigm and strongly urge our patients to use this combination approach as a hair loss solution to avoid the need for future surgeries.
We specialize in catering to a wide diversity of clientele, including both men and women.

  • Dr. Chang is multi-lingual and speaks English, Mandarin Chinese, and Japanese.
  • Our staff is also multi-lingual, speaking both English and Spanish.
  • Our typical clientele also include Farsi, Hindi, Vietnamese, Korean, Cantonese speaking patients as well as many other nationalities and ethnicities.
  • Not only do we provide hair transplants for male patients, but we also specialize in female hair transplants as well (hairline lowering, treatment of traction alopecia and thinning of hair).

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is currently the most common type of hair transplantation.

  • However, it is not without its drawbacks.
  • While the “scar” with FUE surgery is diffuse and spread out over a much larger area, making it imperceptible under most circumstances, the downsides are that if the scar is obvious (like in worst-case scenarios), it is far far more visible and difficult to conceal than with the linear scar typically seen with FUT surgeries (usually easily concealed with tattooing in worst case scenarios).
  • The other downside to FUE surgery is that since the hair in the donor area is thinned out over a much larger area than with FUT surgeries, if the optimal donor site is limited (in size or in quality or both), what can be harvested by FUE is affected and potentially compromised.
  • This also potentially prevents future FUE surgeries if the donor site is too thinned out.
  • Thus, repeat surgeries tend to be more limited with FUE versus FUT surgeries.
  • Typically with FUE surgery, a large area at the donor site needs to be shaved, and this can be especially conspicuous for female patients with long hair.  With FUT surgery, only a small 2-3 cm wide strip of hair is shaved, easily concealed immediately after surgery and is imperceptible.

In conclusion, with the modified and latest 4th generation FUT techniques that we employ here at the NHT medical center, we have virtually eliminated all the drawbacks of traditional FUT and created what we believe to be the perfect solution to most if not all hair loss scenarios.

THE LATEST IN FUT TECHNOLOGY

Why Choose NHT

A Personalized Hair Loss Treatment Plan For You

Every person is unique, and so is your hair loss. Therefore we will design a special hair loss treatment plan just for you, based on your gender, age, size of hair loss, and pattern, in addition to your desire and budget. After we have all the information, we can then determine if treatment can benefit you. If the answer is yes, then the next question is medication, surgery, or both. If you need medication, which medication can help you? If you need surgery, we then decide on the coverage area, density, and size of grafts.

The Graft Size Blend

We all have different hair colors, textures, densities, gender, age, hair loss size, and location. Using only one graft size (single follicular unit) to deal with all factors is not in the patient’s best interest. NHT Medical Center uses three types of grafts (single hair follicular unit, follicular unit, and modified follicular unit). The blend of these three types of grafts will provide you with the densest and most natural-looking results at an affordable price.

Maximize Use of Your Donor Strip

We try to keep as much tissue surrounding the hair follicle as possible. More than 10% of the hair is invisible because they are in the resting phase. When you remove any of the non-hair-bearing skin, you automatically lose this 10% of hair. Our grafts are bigger, stronger, and produce more hair. Compare thin and chubby grafts.

The Most Natural Looking Hair Transplant Results

Our patients’ pre-and post-surgery photos and close-up videos are available for your review. Seeing is believing! The photographs show, in detail, the hair, row by row, as well as the hairline and the unnoticeable scar in the donor area.

A Highly Qualified and Dedicated Surgical Team

Because the same staff performs all hair transplants in our medical center, patients are assured high quality and consistent results, as shown in our video and photo gallery. Patients in franchised medical facilities are not guaranteed the same surgical team for their hair transplant.

The Best Quality Assurance Programs

Our quality assurance starts with the selection of our NHT technicians. All technicians must pass the NHT Hand/Eye Coordination Test. Only those in the top five percent are selected for our surgical team. Those chosen are put through comprehensive training programs before actually working on a patient. We only treat one to two patients each day for optimum efficiency. At NHT, we exclusively perform hair transplantation.

Safety Programs

At NHT Medical Center, we exceed the standard safety procedures used in other medical clinics. To ensure the safety of our patients and staff, we use the Needle Guard, which was invented and patented by Dr. Steven Chang (US Patent: 5,779,682). The Needle Guard is designed to prevent any accidental puncture of fingers. Therefore, preventing infection from transferable diseases.

The Mega-Session and Dense Packing

Our surgical team is capable of delivering up to 92 grafts per centimeter squared of dense packing. The number of grafts is limited by the maximum donor area available.

No Waste of Donor Hair

Our surgical team understands the need to preserve precious donor hair. We use the special NHT Calculation Method to estimate the donor area required. This unique method prevents donor hair from being wasted.

Painless Hair Transplantation

We perform the NHT Anesthesia Technique. Ninety-nine percent of our patients consider the pain scale of the hair transplant experience almost as easy as a haircut.

It Can Be Done in A Single Trip

We are able to provide our patients with quality and personalized attention with just one visit to our office.
