Posted on : April 17, 2025 | Category : Hair Transplant | Author: Beverly Hills Hair Restoration Team
Are you noticing thinning or bald spots on your crown? You're not alone. Crown hair loss is a common situation that many people face as they age. The crown area at the top and back of your head has a unique hair growth pattern, making it more susceptible to thinning or balding. Unlike hair loss along the hairline, crown hair loss can feel more challenging to address, affecting your appearance and self-confidence. This is where a crown hair transplant, using Smart FUE and Smart FUT techniques, can make a significant difference. These minimally invasive methods are gaining popularity because of their ability to restore precise natural hair growth. Our hair transplant clinic provide a solution that enhances your appearance and boosts your confidence.
Hair transplants for the crown area effectively manage hair loss and thinning, particularly in the often-challenging crown region. The crown area requires special attention because of the natural swirl or whorl of hair growth, making the restoration process more intricate than other areas of the scalp. This unique growth pattern demands precision in the placement of hair follicles to ensure that the results blend seamlessly with the surrounding hair, providing a natural look. At Beverly Hills Hair Restoration in LA we uses advanced Smart FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and Smart FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) to ensure the highest precision and care. With proper technique, crown hair transplants can achieve long-term success, confidence and hair. Additionally, recovery time is usually short, making it a noninvasive procedure for those with crown hair thinning. Our experience ensures that your crown region receives the care it deserves for an effective result.
When it comes to losing hair, the crown of the head presents unique challenges. Unlike other parts of the scalp, the crown has specific growth patterns that require extra attention and precision during hair restoration. The crown area, also known as the "vertex," is where hair grows in a whorl or spiral pattern. This natural swirl can make hair restoration here more challenging, as the direction of hair growth is not uniform. Hair follicles in the crown tend to grow outward and radiate from a central point, meaning transplanting hair to match this natural pattern requires expert knowledge and skill.
We recognise this intricacy, and our expertise in crown hair transplants allows us to plan and execute each transplant carefully to mimic the natural whorl of the crown area. Every follicle is placed at the correct angle to ensure your hair is naturally restored. We take the time to study your hair's unique growth pattern to make sure your results blend seamlessly with the surrounding hair.
Before you decide to proceed with a crown hair transplant, it's essential to understand this:
The first thing to consider is your overall health. Our expert in hair restoration always starts with a thorough consultation to evaluate your scalp health, the extent of your hair loss, and your general well-being.
It's important to remember to set realistic expectations when considering a hair transplant. A transplant won't "miraculously" restore a thick, full head of hair overnight—it's a process, and results take time.
Ideal candidates are typically healthy, have sufficient donor hair at the back of their head, and seek a long-term solution to their crown hair loss.

Two primary techniques are used for crown hair transplants: Smart FUE and Smart FUT. Dr. John Kahen provides both options and will assist you in choosing the most suitable one for your hair restoration needs:
Smart FUE is a minimally invasive process that involves extracting hairs from a donor area (usually the back or sides of your head) and transplanting them to the crown. The procedure uses a small, specialised tool, which minimises scarring and ensures a smooth, natural look. This technique is ideal for those seeking a more discreet and less invasive option.
It's a better option for those with more significant hair loss or more extensive areas to cover. This technique involves drawing a strip of scalp from the donor spot, from which hair follicles are extracted and then transplanted to the crown. Smart FUT allows us to transplant more follicles in a single session, which can benefit individuals needing more extensive restoration.
When it comes to crown hair transplants, one of the most common questions we hear is, "How successful are these procedures?" The good news is that the success rate for crown hair transplants is very high, especially when performed by experienced specialists Dr. John Kahen. Most patients achieve satisfactory, long-term results after undergoing this procedure. However, the success rate can alter based on several factors, such as the area of hair loss, the quality of your donor's hair, and the technique used. We specialize in advanced hair transplant methods, Smart FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and Smart FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation), which are tailored to meet the specific needs of your crown area. This targeted approach leads to more natural, fuller results.
We carefully assess your scalp and hair loss patterns before developing a treatment plan. Our expertise ensures that the procedure is done precisely, placing follicles in a way that follows the natural direction and swirl of your crown's growth. Patients often see impressive results within 9 to 12 months as the hair grows naturally and fills the thinning crown area.
