The Hair Restoration Gap in Leland, NC
When Leland residents research local hair restoration, the options are almost entirely non-surgical. Med spas and wellness clinics across Leland and Wilmington offer PRP injections and aesthetic treatments. General practitioners and dermatology offices address hair loss medically through topical solutions, finasteride protocols, and scalp therapies.
These treatments have real value for patients in the early stages of thinning or those managing progression medically. PRP and prescription medications can slow hair loss and improve the appearance of existing density. But they cannot reverse a significant recession or fill in areas that are already bald. That requires surgical hair transplantation, and no dedicated surgical hair transplant provider operates in Leland or Brunswick County.
Signature Hair Restoration is the dedicated surgical option for Brunswick County residents who want permanent results.

The Signature Difference
Two specialists. One coordinated procedure.
Most clinics rely on a single surgeon. Here, Greg Koher and Dr. Sessoms operate side by side, extracting grafts at the same time to shorten your day in the chair and protect every follicle.
- Dual-specialist FUE technique found nowhere else in the U.S.
- 30+ years of combined, coordinated experience
- Less time out of the body means healthier grafts
Signature Hair Restoration vs. Leland-Area Providers
| Signature Hair Restoration | Local Med Spas and General Practitioners | |
|---|---|---|
| Procedure Type | Surgical FUE and FUT hair transplants | PRP and non-surgical treatments only (Beach Medical Aesthetics, Rising Tide Wellness, and similar Leland/Wilmington providers) |
| Credentials | Dr. Sessoms holds Associate Membership in the ISHRS, the top international body for surgical hair restoration. No ISHRS-affiliated surgical provider operates in Leland or Brunswick County. | General cosmetic and medical providers. Hair loss is one service among many. |
| Results | Permanent. Transplanted follicles grow for life with no ongoing maintenance required. | Temporary. Require ongoing treatments. Cannot restore a hairline or fill bald areas. |
| Dual-Specialist Technique | Two specialists extract simultaneously, cutting procedure time by up to 40% and improving graft survival. Unique in the United States. | Not available anywhere in the Leland or Wilmington area. |
| Experience | 20,000+ procedures performed by the same coordinated team over 30+ combined years. | Variable. Most local providers lack dedicated hair transplant surgical volume. |
What Sets Signature Hair Restoration Apart
Most hair restoration clinics rely on a single surgeon working sequentially through the donor area. Our approach is fundamentally different. Dr. Cory Sessoms (left-handed) and Greg Koher, RN (right-handed) extract follicular units simultaneously from opposite sides of the donor area during FUE procedures.
This dual-specialist technique is unique in the US and produces four measurable advantages:
Procedure time reduced by up to 40% compared to single-surgeon extraction
Grafts spend less time outside the body, which improves their survival rate
Shared workload keeps precision consistent from the first graft to the last
Larger sessions become more manageable for both the patient and the team
The entire surgical team, from physicians through technicians and support staff, has worked together for years. That continuity means no learning curve, no inconsistency between visits, and a coordinated approach refined across more than 20,000 procedures.
Hair Loss Patterns We Treat
Graft counts are estimates. Your consultation provides an exact number based on your specific pattern and coverage goals.
| Pattern | Description | Typical Graft Range |
|---|---|---|
| Frontal Hairline Recession | Hairline recedes at the temples and forehead | 1,500 to 2,500 |
| Crown Thinning | Bald or thinning area develops at the top of the scalp | 1,000 to 2,000 |
| Diffuse Thinning | Overall density loss across the scalp | Varies by extent |
| Advanced Pattern Baldness | Extensive loss requiring large-session coverage | 3,000 to 4,000+ |
| Female Pattern Hair Loss | Frontal thinning or widening part line | 1,000 to 2,500 |
Key Benefits of Hair Transplant Surgery
A hair transplant does more than restore hair. It eliminates the cycle of ongoing treatments, delivers permanent results, and uses your own follicles to achieve an outcome no other method can replicate.
| Feature | What It Means for You |
|---|---|
| Permanent Results | Transplanted hair grows for life. No ongoing treatments or recurring costs. |
| Your Own Hair | Donor follicles match your exact texture, color, and growth pattern. |
| Natural-Looking Hairline | Grafts placed at natural angles and densities produce undetectable results. |
| Minimal Maintenance | Cut, style, and color transplanted hair exactly like the rest of your hair. |
| High Graft Survival Rate | Proper technique delivers 90 to 95% graft survival in experienced hands. |
| Active-Lifestyle Compatible | After recovery, no special care is needed during golf, swimming, or pickleball. |

FUE vs. FUT: Which Is Right for You?
Both FUE and FUT permanently relocate healthy follicles from your donor area to thinning or bald zones. The difference is in how those follicles are harvested, and that difference is what determines which technique fits your life.
| Factor | FUE | FUT |
|---|---|---|
| Extraction Method | Individual follicles removed one at a time | Narrow strip removed, then dissected |
| Scarring | Tiny dot marks, nearly invisible even with short hair | Thin linear scar, hidden by existing hair |
| Shaving Required | Yes, donor area | No |
| Recovery | 7 to 10 days | 10 to 14 days |
| Graft Capacity | Up to 3,500 to 4,000 per session | Up to 4,000 per session |
| Best For | Short hairstyles, active patients, and smaller sessions | Maximum graft count, longer hairstyles |
Your consultation matches you to the right technique based on your pattern, donor area, and goals.
Are You a Good Candidate?
Good candidates generally meet the following criteria:
Stable hair loss pattern, typically age 25 or older
Sufficient donor density in the back and sides of the scalp
Realistic expectations about coverage, density, and timeline
Good overall health
Understanding that final results develop over 12 to 15 months
Surgery may not be the right fit if your donor area is too thin, your hair loss is still progressing rapidly, or your goals exceed what your donor supply can realistically support. We evaluate all of this during your consultation and give you an honest answer, not a sales pitch.
What to Expect After Your Procedure
| Timeline | What Happens |
|---|---|
| Days 1 to 7 | Mild swelling, activity restrictions, donor area healing begins |
| Weeks 2 to 4 | Swelling resolves; transplanted hair sheds (normal and expected) |
| Months 3 to 4 | New hair begins growing from transplanted follicles |
| Months 6 to 9 | Noticeable density increase |
| Months 12 to 15 | Final results fully visible |
Plan to pause golf, pickleball, and strenuous outdoor activity for two to three weeks after surgery to protect your grafts during the critical healing window. Desk work and light activity can typically resume within 7 to 10 days.
