Services Available to Gastonia Patients
| Service | What It Is | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) | Individual follicles extracted and implanted one by one | Most patients: no linear scar, shorter recovery |
| FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) | A narrow strip of tissue removed from the donor area; follicles dissected and implanted | Patients with longer hair seeking dense coverage across a larger area |
Why Gastonia Residents Look Beyond Charlotte for Hair Restoration
Gastonia sits along the I-85 corridor at the western edge of the Charlotte metro. While Charlotte offers numerous options for general cosmetic procedures, specialized hair restoration has been largely commoditized by corporate chains where technicians perform extractions while physicians supervise from a distance.
For Gastonia residents working in Charlotte's banking, manufacturing, and corporate sectors — industries where professional appearance matters — hair restoration is a career investment that requires surgical expertise unavailable at walk-in clinics dotting the I-85 corridor.
Signature Hair Restoration was founded in High Point, NC, by Greg Koher, Dr. Cory Sessoms, and Corey Tramble. Greg Koher trained directly under his father, Dr. Grant Koher, a widely recognized pioneer in hair transplant surgery. Dr. Sessoms also trained under Dr. Grant Koher. Together, this team has spent their careers focused entirely on hair restoration, reflected in more than 20,000 procedures completed.
The drive from Gastonia to our High Point office runs east along I-85, a direct route most patients complete in under an hour. It's a commute our patients always say was well worth it.

Who Is a Good Candidate for a Hair Transplant?
Candidacy for hair transplant surgery is highly individual, and an honest evaluation is always the first step at Signature.
In general, the strongest candidates share the following characteristics:
- Stable hair loss pattern: Hair loss that has stabilized rather than actively progressing at a rapid rate
- Adequate donor density: Sufficient healthy hair in the back and sides of the scalp to support grafting
- Realistic expectations: A clear understanding that results develop gradually over 12 to 18 months and vary based on individual anatomy
- Good overall health: No underlying conditions that would complicate a surgical recovery
Hair transplant surgery is not the right fit for everyone. A consultation at Signature begins with an honest, direct assessment of whether you are a strong candidate. If you are not yet at the right stage, that will be communicated clearly, along with guidance on what to consider going forward.

FUE vs. FUT: Understanding Your Options
More than 90% of Signature's procedures are FUE, and for most patients, it is the right fit. But the recommendation always begins with an honest individual evaluation, not a preset protocol.
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction)
- Follicles extracted individually from the donor area
- No linear scar
- Faster recovery; most patients return to normal activity within days
- Ideal for most patients, including those who wear their hair short
FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation)
- A narrow strip of tissue is removed from the donor area; follicles are carefully dissected and implanted
- Often preferred by patients with longer hair seeking maximum density across a larger coverage area
- Leaves a linear scar that is easily concealed at normal hair lengths
Neither technique is universally superior. The recommendation at Signature is always based on your anatomy, hair loss pattern, and specific goals.
What Sets Signature Hair Restoration Apart
Three critical factors distinguish our surgical approach from the corporate clinics serving the Charlotte-Gastonia corridor:
1. Surgical Expertise vs. Technician-Driven Models
Many 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.
Why this distinction matters:
- Continuous 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. Complete Team Continuity
Our entire surgical team, from physicians to surgical technicians to support personnel, has worked together for years, perfecting hair restoration procedures. This coordination reflects established protocols, refined communication patterns, and shared institutional knowledge developed through 20,000+ combined procedures.
3. Realistic Expectations and Honest Assessments
Not every patient is an ideal candidate for hair transplant surgery. Our consultation process delivers frank assessments about donor area quality, realistic graft estimates, expected coverage, and long-term planning. We build lasting patient relationships by setting honest expectations upfront, not inflating promises to secure revenue.
