Treatments
Dr Matee performs every procedure himself — design, extraction and placement. Three of the four are surgical and share the same MinSim FUE™ technique; the fourth supports the hair you still have.
Male and female pattern loss on the scalp. Follicular units taken one at a time from the donor area and placed to follow your own hair's exit angle. No linear scar, no stitches, home the same evening.

Patchy growth, a thin jawline, or gaps left by scarring or alopecia areata. Beard hair leaves the skin at a sharper angle than scalp hair, so it is designed and placed differently.

Over-plucking, alopecia or scarring. The most technically demanding work he does — brow hairs sit almost flat to the skin, so every graft has to be angled individually.
Read about eyebrow transplants →
Platelet-rich plasma drawn from your own blood and reinjected to stimulate follicles into an active growth phase. Usually alongside a transplant rather than instead of one.

Dr Matee's MinSim FUE™ technique combines Follicular Unit Extraction with the lateral slit method of implantation. FUE governs how each unit leaves the donor area; the lateral slit governs the angle and direction it goes back in.
Together they aim at two things at once — a natural-looking result in the recipient area, and a donor area that recovers without the thinned, over-harvested look. It is the same underlying technique whether the grafts are going into a scalp, a jawline or a brow.
Choosing
A receding hairline, a thinning crown, or both. Start with the FUE page — and the estimator will give you an indicative graft range.
Patchy beard, a jawline that will not fill in, or scarring. Beard and eyebrow work use the same technique at a different angle.
If loss is early or still progressing, PRP may be the sensible first step — or the honest answer may be to wait. You will be told which.
Not sure? The free consultation exists precisely to answer this. Dr Matee measures donor density in person and will tell you if a procedure is not worth doing.
Where this is performed

Side by side
Three are surgical and share one technique; the fourth is not surgery at all. What separates them is the area treated, the angle the hair has to sit at, and how many grafts the job takes.
| Procedure | Treats | Surgical | Typical grafts | Result judged |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MinSim FUE™ | Male and female pattern loss on the scalp — receding hairline, thinning crown, or both | Yes | Varies widely with the area covered; measured at consultation | Twelve months |
| Beard transplant | Patchy facial growth, a weak jawline, gaps from scarring or alopecia areata | Yes | Around 1,000–3,000 | Twelve months |
| Eyebrow transplant | Over-plucking that never grew back, alopecia, scarring from injury or surgery | Yes | A few hundred per brow | Twelve months |
| PRP therapy | Thinning where follicles are still present but underperforming | No | Not applicable — a course of sessions | Over the course, then maintenance |
Graft counts are indicative. Yours depends on donor density, how much ground is being covered and how much loss is still to come — which is what the free consultation measures.
The common thread
Scalp, beard and brow work all use MinSim FUE™. Follicular units are taken one at a time from the back and sides of the scalp — the only donor area in all three cases — and placed using the lateral slit method, which controls the angle and direction each graft goes back in.
What changes between them is that angle. Scalp hair leaves the skin at a moderate angle; beard hair at a much sharper one; brow hair lies almost flat and changes direction along its length. Get the angle wrong and the hair grows in a direction it should not, which is what makes bad work readable at a glance.
All three surgical procedures draw on the same donor region. If you want more than one, the order matters and the supply has to be allocated deliberately — which is part of the conversation at consultation rather than an afterthought.
Surgical or not
PRP is frequently misunderstood as an alternative to surgery. It is not.
Stimulate follicles that are still present but underperforming back into an active growth phase. That makes it useful early, while there is still something to work with, and useful alongside surgery to support both the new grafts and the hair that was never moved.
Create hair where the follicle has gone. If an area is genuinely bald, no injectable will bring it back — that is what a transplant is for. Anyone selling PRP as a substitute for surgery in a bald area is selling you a course that will not work.
