Dr. Lee at Advanced Hair Restoration®

Dr. Lee's role covers multiple Advanced Hair Restoration® offices. Ask at your consultation which physician will perform your procedure at your office.

Advanced Hair Restoration® has 30+ offices across the country. Awards include Best Business of 425 Seattle (425 Business Magazine, 2023 and 2024), Best of Denver (Westword, Hair Restoration, 2025), Best of Perimeter Atlanta (Appen Media Group, 2024) and Best of Dallas-Fort Worth (People’s Choice Award, 2023 and 2024).

Who performs your procedure

Your physician evaluates your scalp health and hair loss pattern, then designs a hairline that fits your facial structure and age, with the exact graft count mapped out. Individual follicles are removed under local anesthesia with micro-punch instruments: no strip of scalp, no stitches, no linear scar. Extraction and placement are physician-guided, with each follicle placed at the angle, depth and direction of your natural growth.

Techniques: Advanced FUE™ and No-Shave FUE™

Advanced Hair Restoration® invented Advanced FUE™ and holds the U.S. patent for No-Shave FUE™. Both are delivered as the Simple 1 Day Treatment®: one outpatient visit under local anesthesia, your own natural hair, Guaranteed to Grow for Life™. Our Advanced FUE™ teams complete mega-sessions of 4,000+ grafts in a single day.

Technique	How it works	What to expect
Advanced FUE™	Follicles extracted one by one with micro-punch precision	No linear scar, no stitches, faster and more comfortable recovery
No-Shave FUE™	Patented; donor and recipient areas stay unshaved (a Hybrid option trims only the donor area)	Total discretion; more time and precision, so typically priced higher than standard FUE
FUT, the strip method	A thin strip of scalp is removed to harvest grafts	Permanent linear scar, longer recovery; reserved for cases like extensive scar revisions

What a consultation with Dr. Lee covers

Consultations are free and in person, with no pressure and no obligation, and end with a personalized treatment plan and quote. In person, your physician examines your scalp and donor area directly and maps your exact graft count, so the plan is precise.

Candidacy. The grafts needed for your result, the availability and density of your donor hair, hair characteristics, and likely future loss. If a procedure is not right yet, medications and laser therapy can help preserve the hair you have.
Design and graft count. A custom hairline and your exact number. Each graft carries 1 to 4 hairs.
Timeline. Most patients are back at non-strenuous work within 1 to 3 days. Grafted hair typically sheds in 2 to 4 weeks, new growth begins in 3 to 4 months, and results build over 12 months.
Cost. In the United States a hair transplant typically costs about $5,000-$15,000+, priced per graft, with the per-graft rate scaling down as your graft count rises. No hidden fees. Financing options are available.

Typical ranges: hairline restoration 1,500 to 2,500 grafts, crown 2,000 to 3,500, full restoration 3,000 to 5,000+.

How Dr. Lee approaches a case

Dr. Lee is double board-certified in general surgery and hair restoration, and he helps write the exam that certifies other hair restoration surgeons. That standard is the one he holds himself to. He works across both FUE and FUT techniques and offers non-surgical treatments including PRP and laser therapy, so the recommendation is the one that fits your hair loss, not the one that fits a single tool.
