FUE Hair Transplant

The modern, minimally invasive option. Ideal for patients who wear short hair. We extract individual follicles one by one, leaving no linear scar and ensuring a quick, comfortable recovery.

FUT Hair Transplant

No haircut required! The Gold Standard for advanced hair loss. This method allows us to harvest the highest number of grafts in a single session for maximum coverage.

Non-Surgical Options

Perfect for thinning hair or the earliest stages of hair loss. These therapies use growth factors to catalyze new cellular growth, repair hair follicles, and restore a thick, healthy look.

Face and Body Aesthetics

Reverse facial and body aging with advanced, minimally invasive treatments designed to enhance natural beauty and restore confidence.

Rhinoplasty

A modern option designed to refine and harmonize facial proportions. Dr. Petrus uses advanced techniques to sculpt with precision, improving contour while preserving a natural appearance. Ideal for patients seeking subtle enhancement, improved symmetry, or functional correction with minimal downtime.

Brow Lifts

A non-surgical lifting method that elevates and rejuvenates the brow for a refreshed, youthful look. Using advanced harvesting and placement techniques, this approach achieves high-density coverage and smooth, natural movement—without the need for traditional incisions or a haircut. It is especially effective for restoring expression and reducing heaviness around the eyes.

Botox and Filler

Targeted injectable treatments tailored to soften lines, restore lost volume, and enhance facial definition. Dr. Petrus combines medical skill with aesthetic artistry to:

  • Reduce fine lines and wrinkles

  • Lift and contour facial features

  • Rejuvenate thinning or aging skin

Testimonials

I highly recommend him for any procedure or surgery

Doctor Petrus is the kindest, most thorough and knowledgeable doctor I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. He spent so much time explaining every aspect of the procedure and never hesitated to come to the phone and speak to me directly (definitely not something you see anymore). I will definitely return to see Doctor Petrus, without hesitation, when I’m ready for another procedure.

No Pain, All Gain!

Just had my hair surgery and everything went even better than I could have expected! Was totally comfortable the whole time, the team that worked on me all day was patient, kind, accommodating, and very knowledgeable about the entire process. Highly recommend Dr. Petrus and his team!

A Perfectionist

One of the best avenues to go for a hair restoration not only in the Little Rock area, but the entire country. Dr. Petrus has been performing hair restoration for decades, is well qualified in his field, and a perfectionist with an excellent network of people who can assist in the process performing at the same high level as him. Would go back and cannot recommend more.
