Dr. Behnam specializes in hair restoration for women.
 |
The images above belong to a women who opted for 1, 823 hair grafts for a successful hair transplant. The picture to the left is before the procedure and the picture to the right is one year after the procedure.
The blue line on the left picture was drawn to indicate where the grafts were going to be placed.
How is hair transplantation different in women than men?
Hair transplantation is more demanding, interesting, artistic, and rewarding in women for women have more healthy hair in the balding areas than men do. Thus, the doctor doing the procedure has to be more careful to make sure that the healthy grafts are artistically blended with new ones and are not damaged. This is one of the most important reasons that Dr. Behnam dedicates himself to only one procedure a day. He is meticulous and makes sure every site is created to perfection. The result is an artistic transformation bordering on perfection.
Does Dr. Behnam have video testimony from a woman who has had a hair transplant done?
Yes, below is an example of video testimonial.
What is shock loss and why it is more common in women?
Shock loss is temporary shedding of one’s own natural hair due to pressure or impact of new hair being placed next to it. This is more common in women. However in our practice, we rarely see this. Why? Because Dr. Behnam believes shock loss can be eliminated by dedicating more time and attention to each graft placements. In fact, in our practice it is less than 1%. He takes his time and creates the sites very carefully, thus reducing shock loss. Other things that reduce shock loss is use of Rogaine after hair transplantation.
Why do women lose hair?
Just like men, hair loss is genetics. There are also some medical conditions that can induce hair loss such as hypothyroidism and blood loss being the most common causes of the medical hair loss among women. Dr. Behnam does a full examination including lab work to make sure there are no treatable etiologies that is causing a woman’s hair loss.
What diagnostic tests does Dr. Behnam perform to find the cause of hair loss in women?
During the consultation, Dr. Behnam performs a microscopic hair analysis to evaluate the skin as well as the shaft around the hair. This provides a vital information as to what is causing the hair loss, either genetics and other causes. He also performs other tests such as the “pull test,” which is indicative of a condition called Telogen effluvium. He also conducts a lab test including blood count, thyroid hormone level, and ferritin count to make sure that these lab values are okay. Based on one’s medical condition, he then recommends the best treatment option.
What makes the woman a good candidate for hair restoration?
A woman who has a full healthy donor area in the back of the scalp is a good candidate. The donor area are the hairs located on the back of the neck. 95% of the time, these hairs are not receptive to hair loss. As such, they are thick and have no thinning (the right picture below). But, before any hair restoration, Dr. Behnam uses a a video microscope to make sure they are not thinning out. If they are not thinning, then you are a good candidate. If they are thinned (the left picture) then you are not a great candidate for hair restoration. He then recommends other treatment options.
The picture to the left demonstrates donor area that is thinning and this person is not a good transplant candidate. The picture to the right shows strong, non-thinning hair and this person is a good candidate.
Are African-American women good transplant candidates?
Yes. However, a curly hair needs special skills and attention. It is also important that the doctor be experienced in doing African-American hair transplants. Dr. Behnam performs a lot of hair restoration on African-American women. Due to the curly hair, the entire surgical staff must be very well trained. In our practice, our surgical technicians have a collective 30 years experience.
How is recovery different for women than men?
Because most women have a lot more hair than balding men, they have an easier time during recovery. They can cover the areas of transplantation pretty well. In our practice, Dr. Behnam has fine tuned the process such that the hair transplant patients get very minimal to no bruising, scabbing, or swelling after the procedure.

Insider Pages Reviews for Sean Behnam MD
★★★★★balding attorney abbe G. I have been been losing my hair for many years now. I have been looking to do transplants for a while. Didnt know who to trust. I checked out a lot of hair transplant sites and it seems that doctors have to pay to be part of them… I went to various docs, but didnt feel the connection. I Saw Dr Behnam on Fox 11. I was impressed by his work. Im still contemplating soing surgery, but so far i’ve met with dr sean 3 times and it has been going better than expected. He listons to my concerns and every session we have spent about 45 minuted talking about my hair transplant. So far, I think I will go with him…He is more expensive than the average. but quality is more important to me. He gives his direct cell phone to me after the procedure and that make me feel comfortable. So far after 3 meeting with him, he is a 5 star…. June 23, 2011
★★★★★Amazing!! Julio T. At first I was scared and somewhat sceptical of the procedure, but once I went through the process I was surprised and happy that it didn’t leave any marks on my scalp. I feel very happy and satisfied with the doctor and with his team or surgeons. It is very satisfying to see how the result have changed my life and helped me have very high hopes. I am living happier with my life and next to my wife. I would recommend this to anyone who feels insecure or who needs a little bit of a push to go ahead and get this procedure done. It is very professional and with magnificent results. It will bring you happiness and to those around you who walk next to you in life, and this is why I took the chance to say thank you to the doctor for changing my life. In the mean time you should see my photos and the way I have been improving day by day. If you guys have any questions you can email me. I just want to tell you my life now has taken another path with a brighter horizon. May 28, 2011

★★★★★Happy Client derek k. I am delighted to write a review for Dr Sean Behnam. Very professional. I had a great experience. I had a hair transplant by a doctor in Oregon 4 years ago. it turned out to be OK, i got 1,200 grafts. I came to see Dr Sean 2 year ago because the transplanted hairs were not dense. He said he would get over 2,000 grafts. he showed me a special scalp excercise and he got over 2400 grafts. It now looks great. He was not pushy and disnt rush me into the procedure. I had to do my scalp excercice for 4 weeks before he scheduled me for the procedure. Im glad i found someone who cares more about patients than just $. May 22, 2011

| I had a great experience with Dr. Behnam. Not only was hos staff friendly and knowledgeable, but walking into the office completely put me at ease. I was skeptical at first about what he could do for me, but after a consultation with Dr. Sean, I was well informed and impressed at the advances he’s made in African-American restoration. I would recommend his office to anyone looking to have a modern treatment with minimal to no scarring. The guy’s a life saver!!!!! Thank you! |

| I had a hair transplant done by Dr Sean in 2010. I never write a review. I am very please. I was completely bald. I had a hair transplant in 2007 by another doctor, but it didnt take so well. I was very skeptical. I was left with big plugs in the front of the scalp. Then, I was referred to Dr Behnam by a friend of mine. I went to see him. I was surprised that he spent 2 hours planning, desining. I was convinced that this is the doctor to fix up my previous blunder. So in Jan 2010, I had a hair transplant. The day went very well, almost painless. The difference was amazing from the begining. It has now been 1 year 3 months, the hair has grown out. Dr Shawn Benham has fixed the plugs. The hair translplant looks very natural. I can go out again. I have regained my social life. The doctor makes such a huge difference. I have already reccommended Dr Behnam to a lot of my friends and consistently have the same results. Highly recommended. |

It was awesome working with Dr. Behram. He was very thorough and explained every detail of the procedure. He took me step by step through what I should expect, and was beyond accurate. Dr. Behram and his staff are friendly and make the whole experience very comforting.

| I never really considered myself a transplant candidate before now. Anyway, had my procedure with Dr. Behnam yesterday and everything went well. No pain whatsoever and his staff and technicians were professional and courteous, answering all my questions while working efficiently. My only disappointment was my graft count, which was less than expected (due to low density in donor area). After the procedure was completed the doctor explained the lower than expected graft count and even refunded part of the cost back to me. Oh well, I would have preferred the grafts instead, but he could only work with what he had. I would highly recommend Dr. B to anyone considering this type of procedure. |
