Academic Credentials

Following graduation he completed his basic surgical training in Dublin and obtained his Intercollegiate membership in the Royal College of Surgeons. He then pursued higher surgical training in Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery at the same college.

Dr. Barghouthi developed an interest in the advancing field of surgical hair restoration while in Ireland. He attended a dedicated ISHRS (International Society of Hair Restoration Society) fellowship program in the United States and Poland, where he gained considerable knowledge in both Follicular Unit Strip Surgery (FUSS) and Follicular Unit Excision (FUE). Only five approved programs globally offer such dedicated training in the field.

Surgical Protocol

Dr. Barghouthi personally discusses and draws the hairline, prepares the donor and recipient areas, performs all of the extractions and strip harvesting, and makes all recipient sites. His senior technicians then perform the implantations under his supervision. His team consists of three senior hair technicians in addition to the doctor.

Together his team has over 25 years of experience in hair restoration surgery. Dr. Barghouthi utilizes microscopic dissection and preparation/refinement of hair follicles for FUSS and FUE. His office follows up with all their patients for the first 10 days, at 1 month, and then every 3 months until the results have fully manifested.

Dr. Barghouthi uses a motorized FUE extraction device with very small punch sizes ranging from 0.7-0.9 mm. He uses minimally invasive sapphire recipient site blades. His team exclusively dissects single-haired grafts for the hairline's transitional zone, creating both macro and micro irregularities necessary to mimic nature. Dr. Barghouthi performs dense-pack sessions ranging from 35-55 FU/cm2 depending on the end goals, donor quality, and hair loss type.

Dr. Barghouthi has also devised his own modified anesthesia technique, which was recently presented at the World Congress of Hair Restoration Surgery. The paper will be published in the ISHRS forum journal.

As for FUSS procedures, he performs a double layer trichophytic closure and microscopic dissection.

Dr. Barghouthi is a member of the International Society for Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) and a committee member of its membership committee. He is a surgeon member of the Trichological Society. Dr. Barghouthi actively participates and presents in hair related meetings and conferences. In addition to conventional hair transplantation, he performs body hair transplants (BHT), beard and eyebrow transplantation, scar revisions, scalp micro-pigmentation (SMP), customized hair systems, and other non-surgical treatments for hair loss and scalp disorders.
