Body Hair Transplant
Body hair transplant can refer to one of two opposite procedures: either removing hair from the body and placing it into the scalp or contrariwise removing hair from the scalp to place it into the body.
Cannula Injections
Corrective Hair Transplant
The first step of a corrective hair transplant is to determine what is wrong and secondly what can be done to correct the transplant.
Cosmetic Injectable
Ethnic Hair Restoration
Hair restoration should be specific to one’s gender, ethnicity, facial shape, degree of hair loss, age, and aesthetic desires. Ethnicity is one of the important criteria to use to design a hairline and a strategic plan.

Eyebrow Hair Restoration
Eyebrow Hair Transplantation
Eyebrow Restoration
Eyebrow hair transplant has become in the past few years an increasingly popular procedure that Dr. Lam and his team regularly performs. Although there can be a host of medical conditions that lead to eyebrow loss, like a low thyroid condition (hypothyroidism), one of the most common reasons for eyebrow loss (besides being born that way) is overplucking.

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction)
FUE stands for “Follicular Unit Extraction” and has become the most prominent trend in the hair-transplant field in the past decade. Follicular units, the naturally occurring hair groupings are individually harvested and the harvest sites are often healed with tiny, almost undetectable scars. The capability to have a hair transplant and wear a short hairstyle is one of the major reasons to consider an FUE procedure.
FUE-FUT Combination
In the majority of cases, Dr. Lam performs either FUT (strip) or FUE in isolation. However, there are a few clinical indications for combining FUT and FUE during the same procedure. Depending on donor availability, sometimes a combination of two types of donor harvesting or two types of donor areas may be needed in order to obtain a maximum number of hairs to be transplanted.
Facial Aesthetic
Facial Cosmetic Surgery
Facial Hair Restoration
Some men lack facial hair and desire to have a stronger lower facial appearance for various reasons. Certain ethnicities are less hairy in the lower face and simply cannot grow a substantive moustache and/or beard. Accordingly, these ethnicities may be more likely to request facial hair transplantation to achieve a more masculine appearance to their face.

Female Hair Transplantation
Although the public typically thinks of hair transplant as a primarily male-targeted procedure, Dr. Lam regularly performs hair transplants in women for a variety of reasons. About 30% of women over 30 years of age experience hair thinning, so hair transplant is a very common procedure that improves hair density and provides a solution for female hair loss. Hair transplant can also be undertaken to restore the hairline in women who have either lost the frontal hairline due to anaginghair loss or simply were born with a very high hairline.

Formula 82F – Topical Finasteride with Minoxidil
This compounded medical formulation is the 82M formula mixed with topical finasteride along with some other modifications to improve efficacy of both minoxidil and finasteride.This formula is designed for men and for some post-menopausal women. Women of childbearing age cannot take this medication and should not touch a man’s scalp for 3 hours after application of the product.
Formula 82M – Compounded Minoxidil with Retinoic Acid
Formula 82M is a pharmacy-compounded minoxidil-based solution that has been in development over 15 years and was introduced to the medical community in 2010. This prescription-only 82M formula can be used in both men and women that can provide greater efficacy than standard minoxidil formulations. In comparison with plain minoxidil, the formula 82M has been found to be easier to use, less irritating, and with improved efficacy for both male and female hair loss.
Formula 82S – Hair Loss Shampoo with Natural Conditioners
This novel formulation is designed to strengthen hair follicles and to provide a very soft and natural texture.

MTF Transgender Hair Transplant
Transgender hair transplant and transsexual hair transplant pose a truly unique set of challenges that are both artistic and technical in nature for the male to female (MTF) transgender individual as well as the female to male (FTM) transgender individual. Understanding the intricacies of how male and female hairlines differ aesthetically is only one aspect of creating a successful transgender hair restoration. Additionally, transgender hair restoration surgery must take into account variations in the directional flow of hair growth between males and females, as well as factors resulting in future hair loss that may affect current transgender hair surgery.

Robotic FUE (ARTAS)
The ARTAS System is an interactive, computer-assisted medical robot utilizing an image-guided device to enhance the quality of hair follicle harvesting.A sophisticated image processing and various algorithms guide the physician in identifying and harvesting targeted follicular units. The follicular units are extracted, then stored for implantation according to the physician-designed restoration plan.The main advantage of the robot is that it can achieve rapid and accurate hair harvesting using highly sophisticated computer visualization technology and tireless repetition.
Rogaine (Minoxidil)
Minoxidil (Rogaine) is a topical product that helps with hair growth and slows down hair loss.
Scalp Micro Pigmentation
Scalp Micro Pigmentation (SMP)
Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) refers to medical tattooing of the scalp used for camouflaging purposes. SMP can be used to camouflage baldness either as a standalone procedure for someone who does not want to undergo a hair transplant or combined with a hair transplant (afterward as needed or desired) to enhance a surgical result. At other times, SMP can be used to camouflage a scar, for instance, a linear donor scar in the back of the head, with or without hair transplant into the scar.
Scalp Micropigmentation
Scar Repair
Scar revision is a specialty of Dr. Lam’s. The two most common solutions are advanced surgical scar revision techniques like a so-called geometric broken line repairand a hair-transplant technique to implant hairs into a scar.Although the geometric broken line technique is a successful method of scar repair in hands of a skillful plastic surgeon, not every patient is a candidate for this procedure. Sometimes, excising an old scar may cause another sometimes even wider scar. Consequently, in specific situations transplanting hairs into a scar may be the best solution to scar repair.
Scar Repairs
Scarring Hair Loss
Skin Resurfacing
Strip FUT (Or FU-Strip)
During a follicular unit transplant, a linear strip of hair bearing tissue is extracted from the donor region located on the back or side of the patient’s scalp. This strip is then dissected into thousands of tiny follicular units of hair using stereo-microscopic dissection. This dissection method allows naturally occurring follicular units to be separated under the microscope without damage, ensuring their survival.

Viviscal
Some metabolic conditions may cause accelerated hair cycling and lead to temporary hair shedding. Dr. Lam mainly uses Viviscal to help with women who are shedding hair or have unstable hair loss.

As an early 30’s guy with slowly receding temples, I had known for many years that I would eventually want an FUE hair transplant. However, when shopping around with different surgeons in DFW, I noticed that many of them promised crazy results within one surgery, without a long-term plan for the patient to keep a nice head of hair throughout their lifetime. Dr. Lam was different- he was the only one to offer a conservative opinion on how much donor hair to graft, and how much to fill in the receding hairline. I very much appreciated his honesty, and the fact that he came at it with an eye for potential future need for more hair restoration to be completed. He didn’t promise me unbelievable results, but rather, a great-looking hairline that was maintainable long-term, and satisfied the client. Yes, this is going to be a more costly surgery than your average hair surgeon, but I promise it is worth every penny. One week after my FUE procedure, the donor area already looks almost back to normal, and I can’t detect any scarring. On top of that, the area where the grafts were transplanted give off almost no discomfort, and the bleeding, scabs are quite small and minimal. From what I can see, the hairline is natural and made to look like a real hairline. As far as the day of the surgery, it was shockingly easy. You’ll be given the meds you need for the day to fly by- it was 5 PM before I knew it. The nurses and technicians are incredibly friendly and kind, and really do their best to put you at ease (Thanks to you nurses- y’all were awesome.). I was fairly anxious, as I tend to be around needles, but there was basically zero discomfort at all, aside from a bit of pressure on a couple of injections. No pain at all during the procedure, and almost no pain afterwards. There’s some itchiness with the scabs, but nothing I could describe as “painful”- I haven’t needed to take the prescribed pain meds even once yet. After reading about and seeing so many horror stories and bloody, painful messes with other hair clinics, I couldn’t be more impressed with the comfort, painless ness, and quick recovery time for Dr. Lam’s procedures. Now I just can’t wait to see what my hair looks like a year from now once it’s all grown in! Long story short, I highly recommend Dr. Lam and his awesome team.

I am a patient of Dr Lam. I had hair transplant surgery in June of 2020. The surgery was easy for me the patient and the staff were all very professional and helpful. They explained everything to me and set realistic expectations. It did not have any effect on my work schedule . My recovery went well and with in a few weeks I was doing most of my regular work out activities. I am so pleased with the results after just 6 months since I look younger and healthier, thank you to Dr Lam and his staff.

I am 10 months out from my second procedure and I couldn’t be happier with the results. My hair has continued to fill in, especially in the back. This was the best investment I have ever made and has been life changing. Dr Lam and his team are incredible professionals and it is always a pleasure to come for a recheck. I did extensive research before and travelled from out of town to see Dr Lam. I would highly recommend him

I came in for hair restoration procedure in December 2019. Dr. Lam and his team are outstanding! They gave me me a detailed exam, answered all my questions, and explained what my options were in order to give me the result I wanted. The procedure was much easier than I thought it would be, and the recovery was no problem. No pain or discomfort at all. After about three months I started seeing great initial results, at 6 months the new hairline is really looking fantastic. I’m excited to see how it will turn out at the one year mark. Big thanks to everyone for making such a big difference. My only regret is not doing this sooner!

I had an eyebrow transplant done in April 2015. As an African American women I had searched all over the country for a Doctor I could trust. I entrusted Dr Lam and his staff and what a great choice I made. I traveled from SC to TX. I have since regained my confidence and I am very pleased with the work as well as the treatment and care of the staff. Every part of this experience has been great. The results are amazing. I had over 95% hair loss and now my brows look better than ever. Thanks!!!

I chose to have hair replacement surgery before I experienced significant hair loss and visited several providers before choosing the Lam Institute for Hair Restoration. Several key differences I discovered when meeting with Sam and his team is their commitment to making a ten to twelve-hour procedure pain free as they used a mild sedation shot to put me asleep. Less waking me for lunch, I was asleep for the whole procedure. Additionally, I learned in my research that the hair restoration team at the Lam Institute does not perform hair restoration surgeries every day which was very comforting as I discovered other providers will do several surgeries five to six days per week. I did not want my hair replacement surgery to be at a high-volume provider as I wanted to be a client not a number. Many types of procedures exist for hair restoration, but I purposefully chose the strip (FUT) procedure as I wanted to give myself a future option for a second hair replacement surgery as it is not uncommon to have a second smaller surgery 15 to 20 years after your first procedure. I shared my plan with the Lam hair restoration team and we discussed in detail their procedures for minimizing to eliminating the incision scar from the FUT procedure. Five months post-surgery, I do not have a scar line on my head, the bald spot on my crown is gone, and the receding hairline is non-existent. Additionally, I was informed at my recent check-up that the full growth of the new hair is not fully complete until 10 to 12 months post-surgery which is icing on the cake as the thickness of my hair five months post-surgery already looks like my 20-something hairline. I am extremely satisfied with my decision to trust my hair with the Lam Institute for Hair Restoration.
