Recovery & Early Growth
Mild redness and tenderness in the days after the procedure typically resolves within a week
Many patients return to desk-based work within 3–5 days
Temporary shedding of transplanted hairs around weeks 2–4 is a normal part of the process
New growth typically begins around month 3–4
Our team checks in throughout your recovery — you're never on your own

10–12 months
Your Full Results
Transplanted hair continues to mature, thicken, and develop texture over time
Most patients see their final outcome between 12–14 months
A hairline designed around your face by Dr. Slusher to blend naturally with your existing hair
Transplanted follicles come from DHT-resistant donor sites, which typically continue to grow long-term*
Long-term outcomes vary based on individual biology, ongoing hair loss in non-transplanted areas, and adherence to aftercare guidance.
Hair transplantation does not stop ongoing hair loss in untreated areas.
Every consultation is one-on-one with our medical team — designed to assess your candidacy, walk through your options, and answer your questions before any commitment.

Not every hair transplant clinic works the same way. Here's where the real differences live.

Unbelievable professional experience! After much research I choose We Grow Hair to help me with my hair loss issues! Staff and Doctors are very accommodating during the complete process. The thing that I feel helped me, was the time they spent to educate me on the complete process and made me feel like family not just a paying client!

I’m sitting here in their facility in the laser treatment chair as I’m writing this review. There are good experiences when it comes to these types of procedures the anxiety and then there are great ones mine was the ladder. From my consultation to making sure I was following up on all the pre-procedure routines to just scheduling mine at the last minute to a different timeframe to accommodate me to the actual surgical procedure to the follow up I did my research I had hoped I picked the right one but now I know I did. Everybody are a professional professionals follow up and you’ll see cause I will post them the results are going to be incredible.
Bill Blackwelder
Very pleased with the results achieved in such a short period of time since the hair transplant procedure. Everyone at “We Grow Hair” have been so helpful and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend this organization for great results.

Had pretty much accepted I was going to live the rest of my life wearing a hat, but We Grow Hair has saved me! Just over six months since my procedure and a night and day difference! Constantly get compliments and comments on the new hairline, and I am beyond excited to see where I'm at closer to the 1 year mark. For anyone who is even remotely considering getting this done. Do it. It's 100% worth it. Very straightforward, little to no pain, and the change you see is almost immediate. The staff are all incredibly professional, helpful, and friendly. I've never had a question go unanswered. The only regret I have is not giving them a call sooner!

After four months my hair appears to be thicker and there is noticeable new growth
Laura Salveson
My procedure experience was wonderful! Everyone was super helpful, patient, and kind. I arrived with my mom & fiancé (who waited in the waiting area). They took me back almost immediately after arriving and the surgeon spoke with me and explained everything that would go on along with the nurses and we went and got settled in the procedure room. I slept like a baby through my whole procedure so I don’t remember much of the surgery but I was not in any pain what so ever when I woke up. They explained how recovery at home would be. Definitely would recommend if you are looking to regrow your hair 🫶🏾 ❤️🙏2

The whole staff here is amazing. They make you feel comfortable and welcome every time you walk through the door. I've been a client for 4 months now and have seen great and progressive results with their treatments. I highly recommend We Grow Hair to anyone!

FULL results are still TBA (it has only been a month so far)... but after meeting Michael, his team, the surgeons... basically everyone there, I felt comfortable immediately. The care I received was tremendous, both prior to, day of, and after the procedure. It wasn't a "must" thing for me to do, but after checking into it, I was so overwhelmed with the professionalism and kindness shown in that office... I decided it was worth it. People often make the decision for you. They made mine. Strong values, a friendly and easygoing atmosphere, and a verifiable track record of outstanding success and friends and colleagues of mine that used them and love them. I'm excited to see what's to come, but I have been in the best hands imaginable. NOW we're in June of 2022... several more months have passed, and the five stars would only grow if it were possible. Results have already been amazing, with more to come - hair looks better now than it has in a decade... the laser treatments have been excellent a few times a week also - and the communication and care from everyone at PAI is exquisite. So happy to be working with these guys and to have them in charge of my hair!

I went back a second time for another procedure, and the pleasant customer-friendly atmosphere/professionalism was consistent with what I expected from my first procedure. I must say a big thank you to Dr G, and the ladies that performed the transplant (he went over and beyond what was expected)! In addition, I also wanted to thank David for working through some scheduling issues, making sure I had all of the information that needed prior to the outpatient surgery, as well as removing my sutures! He is a true professional at his craft, and also a great resource if you are searching for a good book! All-in-all, if you are looking for an atmosphere and business area that you can feel confident in, and want wonderful results, look no further! This organization has been around for 20+ years for a good reason - they deliver the goods! Thank you once again to the PAI family, for helping to restore a little piece of me that I once lost!!! 😎😎😎

I met with Michael at PAI 20 years earlier. Was not ready to do anything at that point about my hair loss. Fortunately, my hair loss was a very slow process. Over the years, I did investigate other places and procedures. This only confirmed for me that when the time was right, I would definitely go back to PAI. And when I did, I actually got to meet with Michael again! I made the decision that day to go forward with the process! My PAI team was incredible! Michael, David, Haley, Anna and of course Dr. G. were all phenomenal! The team stayed in close contact with me before, during and post procedure. Everything unfolded just as they had explained to me, putting me and keeping me at great ease throughout! It’s only a few weeks into post procedure, but I’m very excited. My family and friends are excited for me and have been very supportive! I highly recommend the PAI team if you are considering doing anything about your hair loss! They offer a number of great hair restoration solutions and sound advice in helping you decide which one is right for you!

Most men and women experiencing male- or female-pattern hair loss, a receding hairline, or thinning crown are good candidates. The best way to know for certain is a free consultation. We'll perform a microscopic analysis of your scalp and donor area, assess your hair loss pattern, and give you an honest recommendation — even if that means non-surgical options first.

FUE (we use the ARTAS Robotic system and our WAW Duo technique) extracts individual follicular units one by one — no linear scar, faster recovery. FUT, our trademarked High Density Hair Grafting (HDHG), removes a strip from the donor area and dissects it into individual grafts under microscopes — it's often the highest-value option for patients needing larger sessions. Dr. Slusher will recommend the technique that gets you the best long-term result.
Full assessment of your hair loss with a trained medical consultant, microscopic analysis of your scalp and donor area, a custom restoration plan, a walk-through of pricing and financing, and — for a limited time — a complimentary laser treatment on the house. No fee. No pressure. In-person at our Brentwood clinic or virtual from anywhere.
New growth typically begins as early as month 4, with most patients seeing significant change around month 6. Full, mature results are usually visible at 12–14 months. From there, your transplanted hair continues growing permanently — just like the rest of your hair.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you'll be comfortable throughout. Most patients describe it as surprisingly easy — many watch TV, listen to music, or nap. Mild tenderness for a few days afterward is normal. Most patients are back to normal activity within about 10 days.
Yes. We offer Cherry (our preferred buy-now-pay-later plan, with monthly payments as low as $259/mo), plus Care Credit, Allegro, and PatientFI. Most patients qualify, and approval takes minutes. We'll walk through all your options during your free consultation.
Two reasons: experience and accountability. Overseas clinics can look tempting on price, but you're often operated on by techs (not surgeons), with no follow-up once you're home and no real recourse if something goes wrong. Newer local med spas added hair transplants to their menu in the last few years — we've been doing this for 30+ in Nashville, with the city's only board-certified hair transplant surgeon. Same care. Same surgeon. Same building. For as long as you need us.
