THE GARTNER DIFFERENCE

Not a Chain. Not a Sales Rep. A Plastic Surgeon.

Every hair transplant clinic promises natural results. What most don’t tell you is who’s actually performing your procedure. At Gartner, the answer is always the same — Dr. Gartner, personally, from extraction to placement. No traveling technicians. No sales consultants. A board-certified plastic surgeon and his licensed clinical team.

Surgeon-Led Program

Dr. Gartner leads and oversees every procedure — designing your hairline personally and supervising his expert surgical team through every stage of extraction and placement.

Same-Day FUE™

Up to 4,000 grafts extracted and placed in a single session. You arrive in the morning. You go home the same day. No multi-day procedures, no overnight stays.

No Traveling Technicians

Our surgical team is local, licensed, and permanent — trained experts with 25+ years of experience, working under Dr. Gartner's direct supervision. The same faces from your first consultation to your one-year follow-up. No traveling technicians hired for the day.

Gartner Medical Protocol™

A proprietary technique developed by top plastic surgeons across North America. Custom hairline design, angle-specific graft placement, and refinements across millions of grafts. Available exclusively here.

100% Take Rate Goal

Every graft you pay for is aimed to survive. Our extraction and placement precision — under enhanced magnification with sub-1mm punches — ensures minimal trauma to each follicle.

Local. Permanent. Accountable.

We are a local clinic. If you have a question six months after your procedure, Dr. Gartner's team is still here. Every case is followed through to one year post-surgery.

THE PROCEDURES

Two Methods. One Standard of Excellence.

Dr. Gartner performs both FUE and FUT procedures. During your consultation, he will recommend the right approach based on your degree of hair loss, donor density, and long-term goals.

THE GARTNER DIFFERENCE

Same-Day FUE™

Follicular Unit Extraction

MOST POPULAR
Individual follicular units are extracted one at a time using a precision punch under 1mm in diameter. No linear incision. No linear scar. The result is a series of tiny dot-like marks that are invisible once healed — allowing you to wear your hair at any length, including shaved.
  • Up to 4,000 grafts in a single session
  • No linear scar — sub-1mm extraction only
  • Return to light activity within 5–7 days
  • 80% of male patients choose FUE
  • Ideal for mild to significant hair loss
LEARN MORE ABOUT FUE

Alternative Method

FUT Strip Method

Follicular Unit Transplant

MOST POPULAR
A thin strip of donor tissue is removed from the back of the scalp, then meticulously divided into individual grafts by our surgical team. FUT allows for a higher volume of grafts in a single session — making it the preferred option for patients with more advanced hair loss who require maximum coverage.
  • Higher graft yield per session vs FUE
  • Recommended for advanced hair loss stages
  • Linear scar concealed under natural hair length
  • Option to combine FUT + FUE for maximum results

ALSO A CANDIDATE IF:

  • You have had a hair transplant elsewhere that produced unnatural, plug-like results — Dr. Gartner offers corrective repair procedures
  • You have sufficient donor hair density at the back and sides of your scalp — assessed during consultation
  • You are traveling from out of state or internationally — we accommodate out-of-town patients with full coordination

NOT A CANDIDATE IF:

  • Your hair loss is active and still progressing — we recommend stabilization first before a transplant
  • Donor density is insufficient — a consultation with Dr. Gartner will determine available grafts and realistic outcomes
  • Stage 7 with minimal donor reserve — a personal consultation is required to assess options

COMMON QUESTIONS

What You May Want to Know.

Is the procedure painful?
The scalp is thoroughly numbed with local anesthesia before the procedure begins. Most patients report minimal discomfort during the extraction and placement process. Any post-procedure soreness is typically mild and managed with standard over-the-counter pain relief.
Natural results are the result of two things: hairline design and graft placement angle. Dr. Gartner personally designs every hairline with the patient’s facial structure in mind, and his expert surgical team places each graft at the correct angle and direction under his direct supervision. The Nova Medical Protocol™ has been refined across millions of grafts specifically for this purpose.
The number of grafts required depends on your degree of hair loss and your coverage goals. Stage 2–3 patients typically require 1,000–2,000 grafts. Stage 4–5 patients often need 2,500–3,500 grafts. Dr. Gartner will give you a precise count during your consultation after assessing donor density and the recipient area.
New hair growth typically begins at months 3–4. By month 6, significant coverage is visible. Full results are seen at 12 months. Dr. Gartner’s team follows every patient through their full year post-procedure — you are never left wondering what’s happening.
At chain clinics, your procedure is booked by a sales rep and performed by a traveling technician — often someone you’ve never met. At Gartner, Dr. Gartner personally oversees every case, designs every hairline himself, and his expert in-house surgical team handles extraction and placement under his direct supervision. Our team is local, permanent, and licensed — with 25+ years of experience. You consult with Dr. Gartner. He oversees your procedure. He follows up.
Yes. Hair transplant repair is a specialty of Dr. Gartner’s program. Whether the issue is an unnatural hairline, plug-like grafts, poor density, or scarring from a previous procedure, Dr. Gartner has corrected results from clinics across the country. A consultation will determine what’s possible.
Yes. We accommodate patients traveling from out of state and internationally. The phone assessment can be conducted remotely. The procedure itself is completed in one day, allowing you to fly in and return home within the same week. Our team provides full guidance for out-of-town patients.
