All procedures performed at Bernstein Medical – Center for Hair Restoration are based on Dr. Bernstein’s pioneering Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) techniques. The essence of these procedures is that the hair is transplanted into the balding area as individual follicular units (naturally occurring groups of 1-4 hairs), so that it will look totally natural and be undetectable as a hair transplant.

Dr. Bernstein is honored to be listed in Castle Connolly America's Top Doctors for 20 consecutive years. He is listed as one of America's best dermatologists for his pioneering work in advancing the field of surgical hair restoration and the treatment of hair loss.
In 1997, Dr. Bernstein published a seminal paper, "The Aesthetics of Follicular Transplantation," in the journal Dermatologic Surgery. This paper defined for the hair transplant industry a series of judgments that a surgeon must make to determine the best aesthetic outcome for a patient. These judgments include how best to distribute a limited amount of donor hair, how to design the hairline, and when and how to restore the crown area. Each decision must be made for each patient based on their short- and long-term hair restoration needs.

Synopsis: This publication, written when scalp reductions were at the height of their popularity, cautioned that scalp reductions caused unnecessary scarring, used up precious donor reserves and caused more cosmetic problems than they solved. It suggested that, with the advent of the more robust follicular unit hair transplantation, scalp reductions should not be used in the treatment of androgenetic hair loss. This publication, along with the 1993 paper of O’Tar Norwood, played a critical role causing the rapid decline in the use of scalp reductions in hair restoration surgery. Fortunately, this once common procedure for male pattern alopecia is now rarely used.
