DR. SARA WASSERBAUER M.D.

Sara Wasserbauer, M.D., A.B.H.R.S, F.I.S.H.R.S is a Diplomate of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery – Fellow of the International Society Of Hair Restoration Surgery and is currently located in the Bay Area, outside of San Francisco, in Walnut Creek, California.

Dr. Wasserbauer is a contributing editor to the International Alliance of Hair Restoration Surgeons.

Read her archived articles. As one of the most experienced and accredited hair restoration surgeons in California Dr. Wasserbauer is a regular resource for news media on hair loss and it’s treatment. She writes a monthly feature article for the ISHRS Hair Transplant Forum International, she is a national spokesperson for the Theradome Laser Cap and serves as an examiner for the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgeons.

She completed her undergraduate studies with a B.A. in Classical Archeology and minors in Chemistry, Biology and Psychology at the prestigious Dartmouth College. She then went on to earn her medical degree from the renowned Medical College of Ohio where she was designated Class Leader. After finishing her training in Internal Medicine, Dr. Wasserbauer discovered she had a natural aptitude and eye for aesthetic surgery. Growing up in a family that experienced severe hair loss in both the men AND women, she found herself drawn to hair restoration and the dramatic change it could have on one’s appearance.

Why We Are Different

Total focus on hair restoration surgery

Our surgical practice is devoted exclusively to hair. We perform traditional hair restoration and advanced Follicular Unit Extraction techniques, scar and plug revisions, and are one of the few hair surgeons to be chosen to participate in the latest FDA trials.

Training that sets us apart

Not only is Dr. Wasserbauer one of less than 150 hair transplant surgeons certified by the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgeons, but she is also one of the few worldwide to have completed a full fellowship devoted entirely to cosmetic and corrective hair transplantation.

Aesthetics honed by years of experience

A good result means far more than having more hair on your head. We understand that every person is a unique individual with his or her own anatomical features and limitations as well as desires and expectations. We do not perform stock operations.

Your trusted San Francisco hair surgeon

The reason I chose Dr. Wasserbauer was that she and her staff were so professional and knowledgeable, but they also were very low key and down to earth. They made me feel like family and that I was very well cared for.

Dr. Sara didn’t push me to make a decision and even gave me other patients to talk to so that I was comfortable making my decision. The whole process was relaxed and professional.
G. R.
The staff at Dr. Sara’s office is wonderful. I learned so much from them just by sitting in the waiting room! Everyone took their time answering all my questions about hair, and even random questions about health. I’ve already sent 2 of my friends to their office for consults.

FUE Hair Transplant with Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP)

FUE hair transplant (Follicular Unit Extraction) and SMP (Scalp Micropigmentation). One of the key benefits of FUE is that since the grafts are individually excised one at a time the incision is very small and often imperceptible to the human eye.

What is Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)?

What Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) Device is Best?

Is it the paintbrush or the artist that creates a work of art? The same question can be asked about hair transplant surgical devices, especially when performing follicular unit extraction (FUE).  FUE is a technique where the donor hair follicles are excised one at a time versus the traditional strip harvest technique. The major advantages…
