Fuller, natural-looking hair from your own follicles, with no linear scar and a quick return to your routine.
Your Own Hair, Restored
SmartGraft Hair Restoration in Dallas
Thinning hair and hair loss are among the most common concerns of aging, for men and women alike, and they can take a real toll on confidence. SmartGraft is an advanced, minimally invasive hair restoration procedure that moves your own healthy follicles to the areas that need them, one graft at a time, for natural-looking, long-lasting results.
Because SmartGraft uses follicular unit extraction (FUE), there is no strip of scalp removed, no stitches, and no linear scar. It is performed in our office under local anesthesia, and most patients are back to work within a few days.
Benefits of SmartGraft
- Minimally invasive and performed in-office
- Local anesthesia, with virtually no discomfort
- No linear scar, so you can wear your hair short
- Regrows your own natural hair
- Quick recovery and a high success rate
- Long-lasting results from follicles that resist thinning
How SmartGraft Works
- Planning: Dr. Jejurikar maps your hairline and the areas of thinning, and estimates the number of grafts you need.
- Harvest: the donor area, usually the back of the head, is trimmed and numbed. The SmartGraft device gently removes individual follicular units and stores them in a cooled, sterile, hydrated environment that protects graft health.
- Placement: the recipient area is numbed and tiny openings are created. Each graft is placed at the precise angle and direction of natural hair growth, which is what makes the result look natural.
- Aftercare: you go home the same day with instructions for caring for your scalp over the next several days.
The procedure can take up to five hours or more, depending on how much hair loss there is and how many grafts you need.
Results and Timeline
- First few days: mild tenderness and small scabs that resolve quickly
- 2 to 6 weeks: transplanted hairs shed, which is normal; the follicles stay in place
- About 6 months: new growth becomes noticeable
- About 12 months: full results

Hair Restoration for Men
A receding hairline or thinning crown is one of the most common reasons men come to see us. Restoring the hairline frames the face and pairs naturally with other treatments, from injectables to a neck lift or facelift. See all of our procedures for men.

SmartGraft FAQ
Is SmartGraft surgery?
SmartGraft is a minimally invasive, in-office procedure performed under local anesthesia. There is no linear incision, no stitches, and no general anesthesia.
Will there be a scar?
SmartGraft uses follicular unit extraction, which removes grafts one at a time instead of cutting out a strip of scalp. That avoids the linear scar of older strip techniques, so you can wear your hair short.
When will I see results?
Transplanted hair usually sheds in the first few weeks, which is normal. New growth typically becomes noticeable within about six months, with full results around 12 months.
Are the results permanent?
Grafts are taken from the back and sides of the scalp, where hair is genetically resistant to thinning, so transplanted hair is designed to keep growing for the long term. Your existing, non-transplanted hair can continue to thin over time.
Is SmartGraft for men and women?
Yes. Men with a receding hairline or thinning crown and women with thinning hair can both be good candidates.
How long is the procedure?
Up to five hours or more, depending on how many grafts you need. Most patients return to work within a few days.
