This is follicular unit excision (FUE) in action.
Dr. Luciana Takata carefully extracts and places each individual graft, one at a time, ensuring they come out intact.

In this case, we’re seeing a combination of 2s and 3s hair grafts, ideal for achieving natural-looking density and texture.

Dr. Luciana Takata and Dr. Ricardo Mejia planned a follicular unit excision (FUE) for a patient who previously underwent an FUT (strip) hair transplant.

Their goal was to carefully extract grafts around the existing scar without overharvesting the donor area. Using a coverage value assessment, they calculated how many grafts could be safely extracted to achieve optimal density while preserving donor strength.

In a later session, the scar will be treated with micropigmentation to further enhance the final result.

✨ Every procedure begins with precise planning - ensuring balanced coverage, density, and long-term scalp health.

✨ 30s to 30 Years Strong ✨
“I was losing my hair" … but Dr. Mejia transplanted these hairs over 30 years ago, and they’re still here today. This is proof that results can be natural, lasting, and life-changing.

Medical and regenerative therapy was recommended to this patient to prevent further loss of any hair.

When evaluating patients for a hair loss treatment and/or a hair transplant, one of the tools we use is the HairMetrix device.

✅It is advanced imaging technology that analyzes follicle thickness, density, and donor coverage. It also allows for evaluating consistent measurements over time to track how well a treatment is working.

Last month, I traveled to Tashkent, Uzbekistan for the Los Angeles Hair Restoration Courses Tashkent meeting.

I had the opportunity to share insights as ISHRS President and connect with colleagues dedicated to advancing education in our field.

I’ll be heading to Berlin this week for the ISHRS 33rd World Congress, where our global community officially gathers to continue fostering collaboration, education, and ethical standards in hair restoration.

Grateful for every opportunity to unite with passionate physicians working toward excellence worldwide. 🌍✈️

✨ From welcoming baby Anderson to welcoming her patients back, Ashley’s return comes with a relatable topic for many new moms!

In this video, Dr. Luciana Takata explains postpartum hair shedding, known as telogen effluvium. This is a temporary condition that often appears around three months after delivery. 👶🏼 If you notice extra hair on your pillow, in the shower, or on your brush, you might also be experiencing telogen effluvium, but don’t worry, it typically resolves on its own within six to twelve months.

To check for shedding, try the simple “pull test”: gently pull about 50 hairs and if you notice more than 5–6 strands, that’s a sign of temporary shedding.

Congratulations again Ashley, and welcome back!

We posted a video the other day with Dr. Mejia’s son doing a “consult,” all in fun. This time, Dr. Mejia consults with Dr. Takata as he is seriously considering a hair transplant himself - for the first time!

While he has good hair density overall, her recommendation is to keep things natural - lowering the hairline just enough. She explains how balance and natural irregularities make all the difference in designing a hairline.

Stay tuned for updates, of course if he has time to get the surgery in his busy schedule.

✈️ Dr. Mejia met a young man who had traveled overseas for a hair transplant on a recent layover from one of his hair restoration conferences.

What the young man shared is an important reminder: not every clinic is transparent about pricing nor who performs the procedure.

Hair surgeons around the world and ISHRS continue to educate patients - emphasizing the importance of choosing the right physician, asking the right questions, and protecting yourself from harm.

Even those of us who dedicate our lives to treating hair loss aren’t immune to it ourselves...

In today’s “consult,” my son pointed out the classic signs of male pattern hair loss and recession in my head. Things got a little personal as my mother jumped in to confirm I “need to do something about it,” and somehow Botox even made its way onto the treatment plan.

Yes, I may have to lower this hairline — but only with a proper evaluation from my colleague, Dr. Luciana Takata. So, follow and stay tuned for my real professional consult with her… coming soon.

7 months after 2120 FUE grafts resulting in increased density and fuller density in the frontal hairline. Finer grafts were placed in the hairline to provide a natural feathered appearance. Oral minoxidil was started post procedure to support continued growth.
