Dr. Hasson performs surgery in a modern, fully accredited surgical facility designed specifically for hair restoration. He and his partner, Dr. Jerry Wong, are the originators of the lateral slit technique, which provides more improved naturalness, density and coverage for his patients. Dr. Hasson has invented a special tool that allows for customsizing of blades to match the size of the follicular unit being placed in the scalp. This results in higher densities, better coverage of underlying scalp and virtually no scarring in the recipient scalp. This tool has now been adopted by many of the world’s leading clinics.

Dr. Hasson believes that harvesting larger numbers of grafts in one procedure is imperative for helping patients to realize their hair restoration goals. Fewer procedures benefit the patient as there is reduced cost, reduced scarring and reduced overall down time. He is recognized for his “one pass approach” that achieves desired density for the patient in one procedure instead of two or three.

Dr. Hasson performs procedures, on average, of 3500 to 4500 follicular unit grafts per day, per patient and routinely harvests over 5000 follicular unit grafts in one session. Dr. Hasson’s cutting edge approach and philosophy has raised the bar for the entire hair restoration industry.

Dr. Hasson, who has performed over 5000 hair restoration procedures to date, performs state of the art follicular unit transplantation and emphasizes the importance of having an artistic approach with regards to all aspects of follicular unit graft placement. Dr. Hasson continues to push the envelope of hair restoration every day.

Dr. Hasson is a member of the International Society of Restoration Surgeons as well as several other organizations.
