Why Cary's Professional Class Travels to High Point
The Raleigh-Cary MSA ranks 7th nationally in educational attainment; more than half of residents hold bachelor's degrees or higher. This remarkable concentration of educated professionals creates a population that approaches hair restoration decisions with the same analytical rigor they apply to their careers.
The Professional Appearance Factor
Research Triangle professionals working in tech, pharmaceuticals, and corporate sectors often view hair restoration through a career advancement lens.
Executive presence concerns:
- Projecting youthful energy in industries that value innovation and vitality
- Presenting a polished appearance during video conferences and client presentations
- Competing effectively for senior leadership opportunities
- Building confidence for high-stakes business development and investor interactions
Hair transplant surgery demands exceptional precision; it cannot be rushed or commoditized without sacrificing results. Cary patients make the 88-mile journey to High Point because specialized surgical training and refined technique matter more than proximity when permanent results are the goal.
The Dual-Specialist Advantage
Signature Hair Restoration has developed a unique dual-specialist FUE approach: Greg Koher (right-handed) and Dr. Cory Sessoms (left-handed) simultaneously extract grafts from opposite sides of your head during procedures.
This synchronized method dramatically shortens procedure duration while preserving the meticulous precision essential for graft survival and aesthetic outcomes.
Why this technique matters for busy professionals
| Traditional Single-Surgeon FUE | Signature's Dual-Specialist Technique |
|---|---|
| Sequential extraction by one surgeon | Simultaneous extraction from both sides |
| Longer procedure time (potentially 8-10 hours for large cases) | Significantly reduced time (typically 6-8 hours) |
| Single perspective on donor area optimization | Two experienced specialists evaluating graft quality |
| Available at most hair restoration clinics | Unique technique unavailable elsewhere in the U.S. |
For professionals who need to minimize time away from work and return to normal activities quickly, this efficiency matters.
Team Expertise Built Through Decades of Collaboration
Our surgical team, Greg Koher, Dr. Cory Sessoms, and PA Mark Banks, has worked together for years, perfecting hair restoration procedures.
This isn't a newly formed team learning to coordinate; it's a group with deep institutional knowledge and a proven track record of 20,000+ successful procedures.
The training lineage:
- Greg Koher trained directly under his father, Dr. Grant Koher, a renowned hair transplant pioneer
- Dr. Sessoms also received training under Dr. Grant Koher
- This shared training background creates exceptional surgical coordination and unified technique philosophy
Understanding Your Hair Restoration Options: FUE vs. FUT
The two primary hair transplant techniques differ in their approach, recovery characteristics, and cosmetic outcomes. Here's what Cary professionals need to understand when evaluating their options.
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
Our most common procedure. The FUE method extracts individual follicular units using specialized micro-punch instruments. Grafts are harvested one at a time, creating only tiny circular marks that remain invisible even when hair is cut very short.
FUE Benefits:
- No linear scar in the donor area
- Ability to wear hair at any length, including very short cuts
- Shorter recovery period with less post-operative discomfort
- Ideal for active professionals who exercise regularly
- Natural-looking results with proper graft placement
FUE Considerations:
- •Requires shaving the donor area (back and sides of the head)
- •Slightly longer procedure time than FUT (though our dual-specialist technique minimizes this)
- •Maximum yield: 3,500-4,000 grafts per session
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)
Best for long hairstyles. The FUT approach harvests a narrow strip of scalp tissue from the donor zone, then dissects individual follicular units using microscopic techniques. A thin, linear scar remains but is completely concealed beneath medium- or longer-length hair.
FUT Benefits:
- No need to shave the donor area
- Excellent option for women and men with longer hairstyles
- Linear scar easily hidden by surrounding hair
- Maximum yield: 3,500-4,000 grafts per session
FUT Considerations:
- •Linear scar requires keeping hair longer in the donor area (typically 1 inch or longer)
- •Slightly longer initial recovery period
- •More post-operative tightness in the donor area during healing
The Signature Hair Restoration Process
Hair restoration follows a structured timeline from consultation through final results. Here's what to expect at each phase.
| Phase | Timeline | What Happens |
|---|---|---|
| Step 1: Consultation | Initial Visit (1-2 hours) | Scalp examination and hair loss assessment; goal discussion and technique recommendation; customized surgical plan; transparent pricing |
| Step 2: Pre-Op Planning | After proceeding | Surgery date scheduling; pre-op medication guidelines; technique confirmation; recovery timeline planning |
| Step 3A: Surgery Day (FUE) | 6-8 hours | Donor prep and local anesthesia; dual-specialist simultaneous extraction; graft quality inspection; recipient site creation; precise placement |
| Step 3B: Surgery Day (FUT) | 6-8 hours | Local anesthesia (no shaving); strip harvesting and closure; microscopic dissection; site creation and placement |
| Step 4A: Initial Recovery | Days 1-7 | Mild swelling (medication-managed); activity restrictions; donor area healing |
| Step 4B: Early Recovery | Weeks 2-4 | Swelling resolved; transplanted hair sheds (normal); most activities resume |
| Step 4C: Growth Timeline | Months 3-15 | 3-4 months: New hair emerges; 6-9 months: Noticeable density; 12-15 months: Final results |
What Sets Signature Hair Restoration Apart
Not all hair transplant clinics operate the same way. Three critical factors distinguish our surgical approach from standard industry practices.
1. Surgical Expertise vs. Technician-Driven Models
Numerous hair restoration clinics delegate extraction and placement tasks to technicians while physicians supervise from a distance. We reject this model entirely: Greg Koher (RN with advanced hair restoration training) and Dr. Cory Sessoms participate hands-on throughout your procedure.
- Continuous physician and specialist engagement during all surgical phases
- Zero reliance on minimally-trained technicians for critical tasks
- Uniform quality maintained across every procedure element
- Decades of refined collaboration between surgical partners
2. Realistic Expectations and Honest Assessments
Hair transplant candidacy isn't universal; some patients face limitations that prevent optimal outcomes. Our consultation process delivers frank assessments addressing:
- Donor area adequacy: actual donor hair quality and quantity
- Realistic graft estimates based on your unique pattern
- Expected coverage given your specific circumstances
- Long-term planning as age-related hair loss continues
3. Complete Team Continuity
Our entire surgical team, from physicians through surgical technicians and support personnel, has functioned as an integrated unit for years, reflecting established protocols, refined communication, and shared institutional knowledge.
- Flawless coordination throughout intricate procedures
- Collective wisdom about technique optimization
- Predictable quality standards across all cases
- Sophisticated systems evolved through 20,000+ procedures
