From The Desk Of Dr. John P.Cole

Here is some great news that many of you have been waiting for. Body Hair Transplantation (BHT) has taken large strides towards becoming a hair restoration mainstream procedure. We have been following a patient that I performed a mega session of body hair to scalp on 14 months ago. Although body hair is considered to take 2-3 years before seeing major results due to the slower cycling process, that is not the case with this individual. Within 14 months, we see significant growth with Outstanding coverage. This result already has made a huge impact all over the hair restoration community online. You can follow the progress of this patient on our website.

 
 
 
 
 


I will also continue to explore new possibilities with hair multiplication in the year 2005. All I can say at this time is that we are making progress with this. This study needs to be in-depth and evaluated deeply as I do when developing all of my new techniques and methods.

On another note….. Comparative results between patients are typically assessed by the number of grafts transferred. Other times they involve the density of grafts in the recipient area. In fact, we know that individual hair characteristics are not the same. Therefore, traditional methods of assessment are flawed by these inaccurate assumptions and therefore, we impugn them. We all know that individual hair characteristics more precisely predict coverage. Not withstanding, a standardized method to evaluate results based on a more precise method of predictive values is essential. We feel that measurement of Hair Mass Transferred (HMT) for each surgery is indicated and offer a method to measure this value. Furthermore, HMT allows us to evaluate the efficiency of our procedure at multiple levels, the time of surgery and at the time of the final result.
