HAIR TRANSPLANT FORUM

Was wondering if anyone has ever gotton there hands on this and if so your results. Heard it stops DHT in its tracks.

This patient was a 33 year old Norwood Class 3 with slightly wavy and course hair which came to us with thinning in the frontal region. His goal was to thicken the hairline area. Dr. Cole moved this patient’s hairline down, to a still-conservative position, and focused on adding coverage to the frontal third of his scalp. Dr. Cole transplanted 2,447 CIT grafts to the frontal area using the Programmable Power Cole Isolation Device, (PCID). ...

How much does it cost for hair transplant in Usa?

HI All,

I'm interested in improving the recipient scalp which was damaged by the nobel clinc many moons ago, and which Dr Cole has done so much to improve over the years. I understand the dermaroller products can help break up bundles of collagen in the scar tissue, and normally a length of between 1 and 1.5 mm is recommended for this. While dermarollers for hair loss (which I have no idea if they work) ...

NOTE: The after photo was provided by the patient
Here is another CIT result of a patient who is 6 months post-op. This Norwood class 6 patient pursued our clinic in hopes of restoring the frontal region and top. Dr. Cole transplanted approximately 2800 CIT grafts to reconstruct the hair line and add coverage to the mid-scalp. The patient has straight salt & pepper hair and a donor density of 150 hairs per square centimeter ...

We’re excited to follow this patient’s progress over the past 5 months and hope to have him come by the office so that we can take some higher quality follow-up photos.  At 5 months out, he has about 50% growth.  After 3 months, 30% of the grafts had grown in; at 4 months, he had another 10%; at 5 months you will see another 10%.  However, it’s important to understand that the length will not ...

Hello Dr. Cole,

I am a patient of yours and have a couple of questions concerning TE. This is the second time in a year I get these major sheds. I know its TE as its affecting my donor area as well. It started like 2 weeks ago.

I have been trying to pinpoint why its happening as this has never happened before. I have had numerous hip issues the last couple of years. I ...

Hi,

I was curious about the high transection rate listed for the Korean Doctors employing the CIT method (0-10.96%). Has the transection rate declined much more or is it an issue with the donor hair i.e., asian vs. caucasian? Information was taken from the article written by Dr. Cole: "CIT vs other forms of IFGH - CIT Results". I am just amazed at the low transection rate (> 3 %) that is associated with Dr. ...

Hi,

I was wondering what Dr. Cole thought about the NeoGraft machine and it's acceptance by other physicians in the past few months? What are the differences between the CIT method/tools and NeoGraft i.e., Pros and Cons. I had read somewhere that a few hair restoration doctors were concerned about the drying and mechanical trauma which occurs (in NeoGraft) during the extraction and implantation process. Thanks,

William Holst
