Serving Raleigh's Government, Legal, and Corporate Professional Community
Raleigh's economy centers on government administration, technology, and professional services. The state government employs over 40,000 workers. Major law firms, including Womble Bond Dickinson and Smith Anderson, serve corporate, regulatory, and lobbying clients across the capital region. In professional environments where you're testifying before legislative committees, negotiating contracts, or representing clients in regulatory proceedings, appearance directly impacts credibility.
Our High Point location, 96 miles from Raleigh (1 hour 30 minutes), serves professionals from North Hills corporate offices, the Glenwood South legal corridor, and downtown state government complexes who need permanent restoration without extended recovery periods interrupting professional commitments.
Raleigh patients who make the drive for specialized surgical care typically want transparent technical discussion of FUE versus FUT techniques, realistic outcome expectations, and natural-looking results without obvious evidence of work.

Comparing FUE and FUT: Which Technique Matches Your Priorities
Modern hair transplantation offers two proven surgical approaches, each with distinct advantages depending on your hair length preferences, recovery timeline flexibility, and long-term styling preferences.
FUE: Individual Follicle Extraction
Removes individual follicular units using precision punch tools measuring 1mm or less, creating thousands of tiny extraction sites that heal as barely visible dot scars.
Why Raleigh Professionals Choose FUE:
- No linear scar — unlimited hairstyle options
- Faster return to professional activities (5-7 days)
- Minimal post-operative discomfort
- Ideal for active professionals
Considerations:
- •Requires trimming the donor area short
- •May require multiple procedures for extensive coverage
- •Longer procedure time for equivalent graft counts
FUT: Strip Harvesting for Maximum Efficiency
Removes a narrow strip of hair-bearing scalp from the donor area, dissected under stereo microscopes into individual grafts. Ideal for patients who maintain longer hair.
Why FUT Makes Sense:
- Ideal for women seeking restoration
- Best for patients maintaining hair at 1+ inches
- Donor area remains untrimmed
- Microscopic dissection minimizes follicle damage
- Thin linear scar hidden by existing hair
Considerations:
- •Linear scar (1-2mm with proper closure)
- •Moderate recovery discomfort from sutures
- •14-21 days before resuming strenuous activity
Side-by-Side Technical Comparison
| Factor | FUE | FUT |
|---|---|---|
| Scarring Pattern | Tiny dot scars (virtually invisible) | Linear scar (concealed with hair length) |
| Typical Graft Yield | 2,500-4,000 per session | 2,500-4,000 per session |
| Donor Area Preparation | Requires trimming donor area short | No visible trimming; performed under existing hair |
| Post-Op Discomfort | Minimal | Moderate initially |
| Return to Desk Work | 5-7 days | 7-10 days |
| Return to Exercise | 7-10 days | 14-21 days |
| Haircut Flexibility | Any length, any style | Must maintain 1+ inch to cover scar |
Our Dual-Specialist FUE Approach: Unique in the United States
Traditional FUE involves a single surgeon sequentially extracting follicles over 6-8 hours. Our technique fundamentally reimagines this process.
Greg Koher (right-handed) and Dr. Cory Sessoms (left-handed) perform simultaneous extractions from opposite sides of your donor area, reducing extraction time by approximately 40%.
Why This Matters for Raleigh's Busy Professionals:
Government legislative sessions, corporate quarter-end deadlines, and legal case schedules don't accommodate multi-day surgical procedures. Reducing a 7-hour FUE session to 4-5 hours means:
Less time away from your practice or office
Reduced physical fatigue during the procedure
Shorter out-of-body storage time for extracted grafts (potentially improving survival)
Ability to schedule surgery without overnight accommodation requirements

Hair Transplant Recovery: What to Expect Week by Week
Understanding the full recovery timeline helps you plan around professional obligations, particularly when working on legislative deadlines, trial preparation, or corporate projects.
| Timeframe | Appearance | Activity Restrictions | Professional Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Days 1-3 | Redness; small scabs forming | Rest; minimal activity | Work from home if possible |
| Days 4-7 | Scabs visible but can be covered with a hat | Light activity; no heavy lifting | Return to office (wear hat initially if desired) |
| Days 8-14 | Scabs shedding; redness fading | Resume normal activities; light exercise OK | Normal professional appearance |
| Weeks 3-4 | Transplanted hairs shedding (normal) | All activities resumed | No visible evidence of procedure |
| Months 4-8 | New hair growing; increasing density | No restrictions | Visible improvement developing |
| Months 9-14 | Full results achieved | No restrictions | Final outcome visible |
Planning around General Assembly sessions or trial calendars:
Most Raleigh patients schedule surgery for Thursday or Friday, allowing weekend recovery. By the following Tuesday or Wednesday (6-8 days post-procedure), you can return to the General Assembly, courtroom, or corporate office with minimal visible evidence.
Why Surgical Precision Determines Your Results
Hair transplant quality depends entirely on surgical technique. Two patients with identical hair loss patterns will have dramatically different outcomes depending on their surgeon's skill.
Technical Execution
- Extraction precision preventing follicle damage during harvest
- Proper graft handling minimizes trauma to delicate tissue
- Strategic storage protocols maintaining graft viability
- Implantation angles and depth ensure optimal blood supply
Aesthetic Design
- Age-appropriate hairline placement (a 50-year-old shouldn't have a 20-year-old's hairline)
- Irregular design mimicking natural asymmetry
- Strategic use of single-hair grafts creates soft, undetectable transitions
- Density distribution appears natural from all viewing angles
Greg Koher trained under his father, Dr. Grant Koher, a recognized pioneer in hair transplantation. This generational knowledge transfer ensures your restoration reflects decades of refined technique, not experimental approaches or marketing trends.

Non-Surgical Option: PRP Hair Treatment
For Raleigh professionals experiencing early-to-moderate thinning, PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy stimulates natural hair growth through concentrated growth factors derived from your own blood.
| Factor | PRP Treatment | Surgical Transplant |
|---|---|---|
| Best For | Early thinning with viable follicles | Advanced loss; receding hairlines; bald areas |
| Downtime | No downtime (return to work same day) | 5-10 days social downtime |
| Results Timeline | Results visible in 4-6 months | Full results at 9-12 months |
| Maintenance | Requires annual maintenance | Permanent results |
| Investment | $600-$1,200 per session (3-4 sessions initially) | $6,000-$15,000+ (one-time procedure) |
Many patients combine approaches: PRP administered during FUE or FUT surgery to enhance graft survival, then periodic PRP maintenance to preserve overall density.
