FUE Hair Transplant in Kingston, Ontario

Natural, Permanent Hair Restoration at Bespoke Hair MD

At Bespoke Hair MD, we specialize in Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) — the most advanced technique in hair transplantation, designed to restore your natural hairline and density with minimal downtime and no visible linear scar.

Under the direction of Dr. Kim Meathrel, board-certified (RCPSC) plastic surgeon, our team combines artistry and surgical precision using the SmartGraft® system, one of the most sophisticated FUE technologies available in Canada.

🔍 What Is an FUE Hair Transplant?

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is a minimally invasive hair restoration procedure where individual hair follicles are harvested from the donor area — usually the back or sides of the scalp — and transplanted into thinning or bald areas.

Unlike older “strip” or FUT procedures, FUE leaves no linear scar and allows faster recovery, natural-looking growth, and flexibility in styling — including short haircuts.

💎 Why Choose SmartGraft®

SmartGraft® is an advanced,semi- automated FUE system that improves the precision, speed, and survival of harvested follicles. It allows for efficient graft collection and preservation, optimizing results and reducing procedure time.

Advantages of SmartGraft®:

• More precise follicle extraction: Automated handpiece minimizes trauma and enhances graft survival.

• Better graft preservation: SmartGraft’s closed, temperature-controlled environment maintains follicle hydration and vitality until implantation.

• Shorter procedure time: Faster harvesting means less time in the chair and more comfort.

• No linear scar: Ideal for men and women who prefer short hairstyles or wear their hair cropped.

• Natural-looking results: Each follicle is implanted to match the direction, angle, and density of your natural hair growth.

• Performed in a CPSO Level 3 Accredited Facility: At Bespoke Hair MD, all procedures are performed in our fully accredited surgical suite for safety and comfort.

👤 Who Is a Good Candidate?

You may be a candidate for FUE if you:

• Have stable hair loss (male or female pattern baldness, thinning, or scarring alopecia)

• Have sufficient donor hair at the back or sides of your scalp

• Want a minimally invasive procedure with no visible scarring

• Prefer to wear shorter hairstyles

• Are in good overall health

During your consultation, Dr. Meathrel will perform a comprehensive assessment, including scalp analysis, donor density mapping, and a personalized restoration plan.

🧴 How to Prepare for Your FUE Hair Transplant

Proper preparation ensures your procedure goes smoothly and your grafts have the best chance of survival.

2 Weeks Before Surgery:

• Stop smoking and avoid nicotine products — they reduce blood flow and healing.

• Avoid alcohol and blood thinners (unless prescribed by your physician).

• Pause hair vitamins or supplements that may thin the blood (biotin, omega-3s, vitamin E).

• Discuss any medications with Dr. Meathrel to determine if adjustments are needed.

3 Days Before:

• Wash your scalp daily with a gentle shampoo to remove buildup and oil.

• Avoid hair gels, sprays, or topical minoxidil.

• Get plenty of sleep and stay hydrated.

Day of Surgery:

• Wear a button-up shirt to avoid pulling clothing over your head.

• Eat a light breakfast.

• Bring headphones or a book — the procedure can take several hours.

• Arrange for transportation home if sedation or medication is used.

💆‍♂️ Post-Procedure Care

Your transplanted follicles are delicate during the initial healing phase. Follow these instructions closely for optimal results:

Day 1–3:

• Keep your head elevated and avoid touching or rubbing the grafts.

• Sleep with your head slightly elevated on extra pillows.

• Use the provided saline spray every few hours to keep grafts hydrated.

• Avoid strenuous exercise, bending, or heavy lifting.

Day 4–7:

• Begin gentle scalp rinsing as directed by your care team.

• Continue to avoid direct sunlight, swimming, or saunas.

• You may return to non-strenuous work after 3–5 days.

Week 2–4:

• Expect mild shedding of transplanted hairs (this is normal).

• Continue gentle cleansing and moisturizing as advised.

Month 3–6:

• New growth begins! Fine, baby hairs appear, thickening over time.

Month 9–12:

• Full results become visible as transplanted follicles mature and density improves.

💬 Results: What to Expect

Your new hair will grow naturally in cycles — beginning with shedding of the implanted hairs, followed by gradual regrowth. Final results typically appear at 9–12 months, revealing thicker, fuller, permanent hair that you can cut, style, and wash like your own.

Every procedure at Bespoke Hair MD is customized — from graft patterning to density design — to ensure natural, undetectable results.
