Surgical Hair Restoration
Our surgical hair restoration procedures permanently relocate healthy hair follicles from donor areas to thinning or balding regions. Using advanced micrografting techniques, we create natural hairlines and density. This solution suits patients seeking permanent, maintenance-free results with undetectable outcomes.
Follicular Unit Excision (FUE)
The FUE method extracts individual follicular units directly from the scalp without linear incisions. This minimally invasive technique allows quicker recovery and no linear scarring. Ideal for patients maintaining short hairstyles post-procedure while achieving natural density.
Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT)
FUT involves removing a scalp strip from the donor area, dissected into follicular units for transplantation. This technique efficiently harvests large graft quantities in one session. Provides optimal results for extensive hair loss with expert scar minimization techniques.
Non-Surgical Hair Restoration
Our non-surgical options include FDA-approved medications like Finasteride and Minoxidil, plus PRP therapy to stimulate hair growth. These treatments effectively slow hair loss and enhance existing hair density. Suitable for early-stage hair loss or as complementary therapy to surgical procedures.
PRP Therapy
PRP therapy uses concentrated platelets from the patient's blood to stimulate hair follicle regeneration. This natural treatment improves graft survival post-transplant and reduces scarring. Enhances results when combined with surgical procedures or used independently for early hair loss.

Nothing but good things to say about my experience with Dr. Gabel and his amazing team. Not only are they meticulous with their work, but they are genuine and have a great sense of humor. They make the day all about you and cater to all your needs. I also want to mention their determination to go above and beyond their call of duty to create a positive experience and quality product for their clients.
I have nothing but amazing things to say. I was super nervous and checked into other hair restoration companies, but they seemed robotic and overpriced. If you considered hair restoration, Dr. Gabel and his team are the only ones I'd consider seeing; they are hands down the best.

I went to Dr Gabel for a hair procedure a few years back, and was so impressed with the results that I returned again for a second procedure. During both experiences, I found Dr Gabel and his team to be very professional, highly skilled, and attentive to my every question and need. The office is state-of-the-art and truly one of most impressive looking spaces I have ever been in. Each procedure took multiple hours to complete, and Dr Gabel was there every step of the way.
He completed the procedures himself (vs having an assistant do the work like in a dental office) and his attention to detail is most impressive. The man is an artist, and in addition was fun and upbeat the entire time (and made me feel very relaxed and at-ease throughout the entire process). Most importantly, the results have been truly great and I do feel like he's changed my life. I highly recommend Dr Gabel and his team!

I am a female with male-pattern baldness. I spent a day at the Gabel Center a year ago getting a hair transplant. Everyone was very kind, and Dr. Gabel and the whole staff were such PERFECTIONISTS. Not only was my hair filled in, but every hair (from the back of my head to the front balding area) was placed so that it would grow in a natural direction. I was nervous about trying this, but am so grateful for the natural result. Water sports are very important to me, and I do not have to feel self-conscious at all.

Just had an FUE procedure done by Dr. Gabel. I truly can't be more grateful for the experience I had. I truly have never met a doctor that cares so much about what they do. The passion is really there and he is certainly an artist being an artist myself I can see it quit easily. I'm young so we created a hairline that is appropriate for my future and wow I am already so pleased with the results even at day 7 I can see how perfectly he executed this procedure. The level of care I have received has been phenomenal. So happy and excited to see how I look in time!

I came to Dr. Gable May 2019 to see about reinforcing my hair line and gaining some density. From the start Dr. Gable was professional and thorough with the information and what to expect. Had the procedure done and he and his staff made sure I was comfortable the whole time. He did an amazing job and is someone who is passionate about what he does and the desired results. I had to cap off the cost but he even gave me extra to achiever the desired outcome. He is an artist at what he does and I would recommend him to anyone looking to hair restoration.

Dr Gabel is such a tremendous physician. I was so impressed with my experience with him. He flew to my city, spent over an hour with me and thoroughly explained my alternatives and possible outcomes. He flew to ME! If that wasn't enough, he meticulously rendered all my treatment over the course of two days. My results are far more than I expected. At 6 months- my growth is comparable to most patients after 1 year!
I spent many months researching the "best" physician and most men-I've discovered-do the same.but Dr. Gabel is outstanding and if you look at his cases, you will see this truth. Most impressive; the time he spent prior to treatment, his focused PERSONAL treatment, followed by his extraordinary results. Extremely personal experience with unbelievable results.

Paying $150 for consultation that every other office do for free, and had less than 10 minutes with him and then it was all about money.and he is very expensive as well comparing to others.
