In Dr. Robert Reese's own words

How Dr. Robert Reese describes their own approach, from their Instagram posts. Each statement links to the original.

Approach

  • Through their "Hair by Air" program, Dr. Robert Reese's practice handles patient pickup, the procedure day, and recovery, allowing patients to depart the very next day.
  • Dr. Robert Reese consistently uses a framework for hair transplants that involves understanding patient goals, conducting a thorough examination, ensuring the surgery can meet expectations, and executing the plan.

Specialization

  • Specializes in Hair Transplants
  • Offers FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) hair transplants
  • Offers FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) hair transplants
  • Offers Exosome treatments

Technique

  • Dr. Robert Reese's practice pairs exosome treatments with a hair metric scan to allow patients to see the treatment's effectiveness.
  • Dr. Robert Reese's practice performs FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation), which is described as a long hair procedure, unlike many smaller clinics that only do FUE.

Technology

Consultation

  • Dr. Robert Reese observes that most consultations fail at the initial stages of understanding patient goals or conducting examinations, rather than due to the difficulty of the surgery itself.

Recovery guidance

Results

  • Dr. Robert Reese's practice observes dramatic results from exosome treatments, which are more significant than PRP but less than a hair transplant.

About

Dr. Robert Reese, DO, is a Board Certified Hair Restoration Surgeon practicing in Edina, Minnesota. He specializes in hair transplant procedures, including FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation). Dr. Reese also offers non-surgical options such as Exosome treatments, PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatments, and Hair Systems. Dr. Reese's philosophy emphasizes that hair restoration goes beyond simply adding hair. He focuses on creating density, definition, and balance that complement each patient’s individual features, aiming for results that appear natural from every angle. Procedures are carefully planned, considering how hairlines, facial proportions, and surgical technique work together. FUE hair transplants rebuild frontal hairline and temple areas using the patient's own permanent donor hair. FUT procedures are one-day outpatient treatments, popular among women as no haircut is required. Dr. Reese offers private consultations where patients can discuss their hair loss history and learn about treatment options, including the evidence behind regenerative treatments like exosomes. He also stresses that patient adherence to pre- and post-operative instructions is a significant factor in the long-term success of a hair transplant.

Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Robert Reese

Sourced directly from Dr. Robert Reese's social posts and replies.

Which areas are typically addressed during an FUE hair transplant?
During an FUE hair transplant, the physician rebuilds the frontal hairline and temple areas.
Source →
What type of donor hair is used in FUE hair transplants?
FUE hair transplants utilize the patient's own permanent donor hair.
Source →
What are the aesthetic goals for hair transplant results?

Source →
What are some indications that suggest a hair transplant consultation is appropriate?
A receding hairline that makes someone look older than their actual age is an indication for consultation.
Source →

During a consultation, patients discuss their family history of hair loss and learn about specific types of hair loss, such as female pattern hair loss.
Source →
What is the typical duration and setting for an FUT hair transplant?
An FUT hair transplant is a one-day outpatient procedure.
Source →
Why is FUT hair transplant popular among women?
FUT hair transplants are especially popular among women because no haircut is required for the procedure.
Source →
What are the specific challenges of hair transplants in the crown area?
The crown area presents unique challenges in hair transplants. It is a flat field, making it difficult for surgeons to create the correct angle for each graft. Density doesn't always equal perceived coverage here because hair radiates out, revealing more scalp, unlike the hairline where hair lies flat and overlaps. An angle error that might be unnoticeable at the front can be very obvious at the vertex. Furthermore, the direction of hair growth changes continuously across the crown, complicating the process. Understanding these factors helps set realistic expectations for hair restoration in this area.
Source →
What are the candidacy considerations for Norwood 6 patients?
A hair transplant could be a viable option for a Norwood 6 patient if they have a smaller head. However, patients with larger heads might not possess enough donor hair to adequately cover the balding area.
Source →
What does the practice discuss regarding hair transplant candidacy?
The practice discusses who tends to benefit most from a hair transplant and who may want to wait for the procedure.
Source →
What is the practice's approach to discussing exosomes and other regenerative treatments?
The practice discusses what the evidence actually says about exosomes and other regenerative treatments for hair loss.
Source →
What is a significant factor in the long-term success of a hair transplant?
One of the most significant factors determining if a hair transplant looks great a year later is the patient's adherence to pre-operative and post-operative instructions, rather than solely the surgeon's skill during the procedure.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

No industry payments reported. We checked Dr. Robert Reese against the CMS Open Payments database and found no payments from drug or device makers on record for 2025, the most recent year CMS has published.
