Are you searching for an experienced hair transplant clinic near Columbia, South Carolina? Look no further than MAXIM Hair Restoration. With convenient locations across the United States, we are proud to serve clients in the Columbia area.

We understand how hair loss can negatively impact your self-image and confidence. That’s why our team of board-certified hair restoration surgeons and specialists are dedicated to helping you achieve natural-looking, permanent results.

Understanding the Causes of Hair Loss

Hair loss can stem from a variety of factors, both temporary and permanent. Some of the most common causes include:

Androgenetic Alopecia

This hereditary condition, also known as male or female pattern baldness, leads to gradual thinning of the hair and receding hairlines. It occurs in both men and women and can begin as early as puberty. The hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT) causes the hair follicles to shrink over time.

Alopecia Areata

An autoimmune disorder that causes the body's immune system to attack the hair follicles, resulting in sudden patchy hair loss that can occur anywhere on the body. It can cause total baldness (alopecia totalis) in severe cases. The cause is unknown but may involve genetics, stress, or other autoimmune conditions.

Telogen Effluvium

A disruption of the hair growth cycle causing excessive shedding. It may be triggered by pregnancy, childbirth, trauma, medications, stress, malnutrition, or other factors. The good news is the hair typically regrows within 6 months.

Nutritional Deficiencies

Not getting enough key nutrients like protein, iron, zinc, and B vitamins over long periods can lead to thinning hair. Boosting these nutrients can help.

Medical Conditions

Certain diseases and medical treatments can cause hair loss as a side effect. These include thyroid disorders, lupus, diabetes, scalp infections, autoimmune diseases, and medications like chemotherapy.

Excessive Styling

Tight hairstyles like braids and ponytails, harsh chemical processing, and heat styling can damage the hair follicles and cause hair to fall out. Give hair a break from products and heat.

Stress

Psychological and emotional stress may play a role in hair loss by disrupting the normal hair growth cycle. Managing stress can help.

The doctors at MAXIM Hair Restoration Columbia are experts at diagnosing the specific causes of your hair loss and developing a customized treatment plan to restore your hair.

During your consultation, we’ll discuss which hair transplantation method will work best for your individual needs and goals.

Advanced Hair Transplant Techniques: FUT and FUE

The two primary hair transplant techniques performed by our surgeons are:

Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)

The FUT method, also known as the strip technique, involves surgically removing a strip of skin from the scalp and dissecting it into individual follicular units. These grafts are then inserted into the balding areas. FUT provides very natural-looking results and allows for large graft sessions.

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)

With FUE, each hair follicle is individually extracted directly from the scalp using a specialized micropunch tool. The FUE approach leaves no linear scar like FUT, and has a shorter recovery time. It’s a great option for smaller procedures or touch-ups.

Our hair restoration specialists will determine the optimal technique based on your hair loss pattern, goals, and donor hair availability. We strive to provide completely tailored solutions.

Technique Comparison

When considering hair transplantation, it is important to understand the differences between the two primary techniques. Here is an in-depth comparison:

Area	Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)	Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
Advantages	Allows for transplantation of a large number of grafts in one session. Maximizes the number of hairs transplanted. Lower cost per graft compared to FUE.	Minimally invasive, no scalpel or stitches required. Faster recovery time. No linear scarring at donor site.
Disadvantages	Leaves a linear scar at the donor site that must be sutured closed. Longer recovery time. Potential for nerve damage, bleeding and infections.	Time consuming, labor intensive process. Potential for follicle transection or damage. Limited number of grafts per session (usually max of 2,000). Higher cost per graft compared to FUT.
Recovery	Sutures and staples are usually removed in 1-2 weeks. Swelling and scabbing resolve within 2 weeks. Strenuous activity should be avoided for 3-4 weeks. Results visible in 8-12 months as new growth comes in.	Mild swelling and redness for 2-3 days. Crusting/scabbing resolves within 5-7 days. Many patients return to work in 1-2 days. Strenuous activity can resume after 2 weeks. Results visible at around 4 months as hair growth starts.

Having two prior FUE beard transplants before meeting Dr Diaz all I can say is WOW. The results blew me away, 3rd time really is a charm. I ended up having double the beard hair density with seemingly using 40% less grafts than prior FUE procedures that I had done previously. Even Dr Diazs staff were amazing as well, Elyse handled my every need with a smile. For the price , attention to detail and wonderful staff you really won't find a better Hair transplant specialist like Dr Diaz at MAXIM

I'm very happy with how everything turned out, and I'm looking forward to seeing the results in the upcoming months! Thank you both!

Im so glad I decided to pursue this. Jeff

Jeff Yelton

I just did my consultation today with Elyse and she was so welcoming and straightforward. The main thing that drew me into Maxim was that I saw on the reviews that they focus on one patient a day and don't bounce back and forth between multiple patients. The prices for the FUE treatment shocked me at how affordable they are. Definitely look forward to scheduling my treatment within the next month or so!

Noah Wells

Maxim Hair Restoration is the best Hair Restoration clinic per my experience in Charlotte, NC. They are truly concerned about providing the best advice and service based on my condition & goals. Never felt pressured thru the process. Elyse is amazing with initial consultation, scheduling time with doctor, offering various Finance options, follow ups and everything else needed through out the process. Dr Diaz is a cool, calm, very friendly & patient person with clients thru the process. He is very responsive and answered all my concerns with out most professionalism and care. They spent 1.5 days for a 3000 graft procedure ( I am the only patient they have seen for these 1.5 days in this clinic) - which shows that they care more about their patients and quality of service vs. money. Last but not least, Eli and Timothy who takes care of graft processing & placement etc. are amazing as well. This team and their service & care is the absolute best per my experience. Thank you Dr. Diaz, Elyse & team for helping me thru my hair transplant journey - WISH YOU ALL THE VERY BEST.

Elyse Garis is the best hair consultant I've ever met in my entire life. I can't express how grateful I am to have the privilege of being helped by her. Definitely a blessing to the company

T Woods

I honestly don't write many reviews but the staff at Maxim were just incredible! They only schedule one client per day, so the experience felt very personalized. As a result, I felt relaxed and well attended to throughout the entire visit. Their kindness and professionalism helped to make a wonderful experience of what might otherwise have been a nerve racking procedure. I can't possibly recommend these guys any more highly. Thanks again!

Non-Surgical Hair Restoration Treatments

In addition to hair transplantation surgery, we offer a variety of non-surgical treatment options for both men and women dealing with hair loss. These innovative therapies can help restore hair growth and thickness without the need for surgery. Some of our most effective non-surgical solutions include:

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy - A cutting-edge treatment that uses concentrated growth factors from your own blood to stimulate hair follicles. The plasma is injected into the scalp to activate regeneration. Multiple treatments are usually needed but the results can be dramatic.
Low-Level Laser Therapy - Also called laser cap therapy, this uses special red light wavelengths to deliver energy to the cells in the hair follicles. This improves cell metabolism and blood circulation to encourage new hair growth. It is a safe, non-invasive treatment that is done in-office.
PDO Thread Lifts - Polydioxanone (PDO) threads are inserted under the skin of the scalp to lift the tissue and improve blood flow and circulation to the hair follicles. This minimally invasive procedure takes about 30 minutes and requires numbing. The effects last several months.
Scalp Micropigmentation - This advanced cosmetic tattooing creates the look of a short buzzed haircut. Tiny pigment dots are applied at the scalp for a dense, shaved-head look. It is ideal for covering bald spots or receding hairlines.
Hair Stimulating Products - We offer a complete line of topical treatments, supplements, essential oils, and hair growth shampoos designed to nourish follicles, reduce shedding, increase thickness, and stimulate new growth.

Talk to our hair restoration specialists about developing a customized non-surgical treatment regimen for your needs. We provide a full range of options for both men and women seeking to restore their hair without surgery.
