Should I Get An FUT or FUE Hair Transplant?

The answer to this will be different for every person. Things like lifestyle, activities, and the condition of your scalp will partially determine what method is better for you.

The biggest mistake men make when choosing a hair transplant clinic isn’t looking at price. It’s failing to ask who is actually operating on your scalp.

Most people spend weeks comparing costs and reviewing before-and-after photos, but almost no one stops to ask who will physically handle their hair restoration procedure. In many clinics, the person harvesting your donor grafts and the person making the incisions are two completely different individuals, and often, neither of them is a doctor.

At the Canadian Hair Transplant Centre, your procedure is never passed off. From donor extraction to site creation, Dr. Sharma performs your surgery from start to finish.

Before you book your procedure anywhere, make sure you ask: Who is harvesting the grafts, and who is making the incisions?

What Does Hair Transplant Surgery Look Like?

This glimpse into what happens during your hair transplant surgery is just a fraction of the planning that goes into each and every hair transplant. Before surgery, our team of skilled nurses walk you through the day and tell you what to expect and what to do. Post surgery, you’re given careful aftercare instructions to make sure the most important part, the healing, goes as it should.

In the days following your surgery, you’ll have follow up appointments with our nurses to gently wash your scalp and remove any scabbing. The end result, after at least 12 months, is your new healthy hair grafts growing in their new places.

Genetics are king. You cannot change your DNA, and Mother Nature always wins in the end.

If you are dealing with male pattern baldness or hairline recession, waiting until severe hair loss occurs makes hair restoration much harder. While you cannot rewrite your genetics, starting early with evidence-based preventive hair loss medication like Finasteride or Dutasteride can significantly slow down follicle miniaturization and protect the natural hair you still have.

Dr. Sharma explains why early non-surgical intervention is the most critical line of defense for your hairline, plus an unexpected guest appearance! 🐶

When hair loss begins stealing the spotlight, it can draw attention away from a person’s best features. That is exactly what Dr. Sharma set out to fix for this wonderful patient who traveled to see us. Before starting his procedure, Dr. Sharma carefully mapped out his hairline with a marker to show the precise graft placement designed to frame and highlight his strong, handsome face.

By performing a meticulous 2,200 graft FUE hair transplant, our goal was to remove the distraction of male pattern baldness so people can see him for who he truly is, rather than focusing on hair thinning. As a top choice for hair restoration in Edmonton, our clinic focuses on natural hairline design that seamlessly enhances your natural features.

We are highlighting this favorite old case from our archives to showcase the art behind effective hair loss treatments. Stay tuned, as we will be resharing his full transformation and final results shortly!

Throwback to Devon's testimony and amazing result.

Working with Devon on his hair restoration journey was an absolute privilege for Dr. Sharma and our entire team.
Devon was a phenomenal patient from day one. He followed all of his post-op care instructions meticulously and truly trusted the process through every stage of healing and growth—and as you can see, that dedication paid off.

This procedure was performed by Dr. Sharma prior to our official rebrand to Canadian Hair Transplant Centre. Looking back at transformations like this reminds us why we love the work we do.

A massive thank you to Devon for trusting us with his results and allowing us to share his story, and a heartfelt thank you to all of our incredible patients who walk through our doors. We have so much more to share with you all—stay tuned!

The Clinical Reality of TRT and DHT Blockers

For patients undergoing Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT), a common clinical concern is the acceleration of androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness).

This leads to a frequent clinical question: Can you safely co-administer 5α-reductase inhibitors like Finasteride or Dutasteride alongside TRT to protect the hair follicle?

The concern for many is whether blocking Dihydrotestosterone (DHT)—a highly potent androgen—will inadvertently blunt the therapeutic benefits of testosterone on muscle mass, strength, and libido.

In our latest video, Dr. Sharma reviews a landmark, five-year randomized controlled trial published in JAMA (The Journal of the American Medical Association) that investigated this exact interaction.

The Clinical Dilemma
When exogenous testosterone is introduced, the 5α-reductase enzyme converts a portion of it into DHT. While DHT is a primary driver of hair follicle miniaturization and prostate enlargement, its precise role in mediating testosterone's positive effects on skeletal muscle, erythropoiesis, and sexual function has historically been poorly understood.

If DHT is the primary mediator of these physiological benefits, blocking its conversion should theoretically attenuate the efficacy of TRT.

The JAMA study evaluated healthy men receiving Testosterone Enanthate paired with either a placebo or Dutasteride (a powerful dual-inhibitor of 5α-reductase).

The findings offer critical, evidence-based insights for anyone looking to optimize their hormone therapy while managing dermatological side effects. Dr. Sharma breaks down the data, the physiological outcomes, and how we approach this balance clinically at CHTC.

Many men are unaware that a sparse or patchy beard can be clinically treated. Today, facial hair transplantation is a highly sought-after procedure for addressing gaps caused by genetics, aging, or tissue injury.

At the Canadian Hair Transplant Centre in Edmonton, Dr. Sharma utilizes precise micro-surgical techniques to transplant healthy follicular units from the scalp into the facial region. Achieving a seamless, natural appearance requires a strict understanding of facial anatomy—including jaw width and natural hair angulation—to ensure proper graft survival and undetectable blending.

Key Technical Elements:

Physician-Led Execution: Dr. Sharma personally performs every extraction and placement using manual 0.6 to 0.7 mm tools to protect the surrounding tissue.

Microscopic Inspection: Grafts undergo a 4-point viability check to ensure optimal growth.

High-Density Mapping: Advanced preoperative mapping allows for precise placement of up to 60 grafts per square centimeter ($60\text{ grafts/cm}^2$).

To evaluate your donor hair quality and discuss a customized surgical layout based on your anatomy, book a medical consultation at our Edmonton clinic.

Precision is the foundation of a successful hair restoration. While every treatment plan relies on clinical experience, we utilize TrichoScan technology to ensure that our approach is supported by objective metrics.

TrichoScan is a non-invasive diagnostic tool that uses high-definition imaging to analyze hair density, thickness, and growth cycles. By integrating this digital analysis into our consultations, we move beyond visual assessments alone, providing a more detailed and accurate understanding of your unique hair patterns.

This approach allows for a consultation backed by measurable insights. It provides a clearer look at your candidacy for a hair transplant and helps us build a more accurate roadmap for your restoration.
