According to surveys, men see the greatest aesthetic benefit in first addressing frontal hair loss. When I was in my teens and early twenties, hair loss was unacceptable regardless of where it was on the scalp. As we grow older, we often develop more realistic expectations. I personally feel, as do many others that first framing the face with an age appropriate hairline offers the best overall improvement in appearance. Our patient provides an excellent ...

This patient began his repair journey with Dr. Cole back in November of 2009. Since his first procedure in 2009, he has had three additional surgeries with Dr. Cole spaced about a year apart.

This patient had 1999 grafts placed throughout his frontal area. We also treated the frontal area with PRP and ACell. We kept the grafts in Hypothermosol at 8 degrees Celsius along with a 1:10 concentration of liposomal ATP. Following surgery the patient misted the grafted area with liposomal ATP four times a day to nourish the grafts with ATP.

The patient began to grow hair very early following the surgery and continued to progress in ...

We recently treated a patient with 2500 grafts into an area of thinning hair. When you treat an area of thinning hair, three things can happen and two are bad! People with thinning hair can proceed on to progressive hair loss. In other words, they can progress to where they look worse than when they started. That ‘s not so good for the patient or the physician. The other thing that can happen is that ...

Dr. Cole,

I am interested in CIT and C2g and had a few questions.

How long does your hair need to be? I thought I had saw pictures online where it looked like a patient’s hair was relatively short.

This patient originally underwent the shaven CIT procedure of 1,845 grafts in July of 2004.

The pictures show the pre-op and the follow-up visit in July of 2011. This patient’s goal was to restore the frontal hair line and the mid-scalp, though he desired to ...
