HAIR TRANSPLANT FORUM

Greetings fellow forum viewers,

Prior to coming to us, this 50 year old patient had a class 3 potential class 4 hair loss pattern with very sparse coverage on the frontal hair line. Recently the patient underwent a CIT session where approximately 2010 grafts were transferred to the front. The hairline & temporal recessions were restored by strategic placement of single-hair grafts and was made easier by a product called AHD (Assist to Hairline Design). ...

Here is a class 3 patient who recently came to us in hopes of thickening the hair line. Dr. Cole and team transferred approx. 700 CIT (non-strip) grafts to reinforce the frontal hair line, and fill in the temporal peaks. The photos attached below, depict the new growth that was seen just a few months after the procedure. Typically, scalp donor hair can become visible at about three months to 8 months after the procedure. ...

This class 3V, potential class 5 patient came to our clinic in the winter of 2007. This patient's hair loss pattern was somewhat similar to a Ludwig pattern. This pattern is an overall thinning that is typical of female hair loss. The patient has about average donor density of 180 hairs per square centimeter. Years prior to treatment, the patient began using Finasteride to maintain native hair (non-transplanted). The patient’s goal was to obtain conservative, ...

Fellow forum viewers,

This class 3 vertex patient has medium caliber, dark brown hair with well above average donor density. Dr. Cole’s treatment plan for this patient was to transfer 740 CIT/C2G grafts into the vertex. C2G is a CIT (non-strip) preparation method where advanced technology allows our surgical team to harvest over 1500 grafts in an 8-hour day, without exposing any scalp. This method gives our patients the option to leave our clinic without ...

Below are pre-op and post-op photo comparisons that depict a 24 month result of a class 4 potential class 5 patient who desired an overall thicker front via CIT (Cole Isolation Technique), a non-strip hair transplant method. The patient has medium fine, wavy hair and slightly above average donor density of about 200 hairs per square centimeter with 180 hairs/cm2 being about the average. Dr. Cole’s treatment plan was to strategically transfer about 2500 CIT ...

Hi forum viewers,

This patient had a class 3 vertex balding pattern and medium caliber, light brown hair with just average donor density of about 180 hairs per square centimeter. The patient’s goal was to thicken the vertex via CIT and regain a more youthful appearance. With CIT, we can harvest the best follicles and control how many grafts we transplant. Our patients choose CIT because it allows us to harvest donor resources more efficiently ...

Hi fellow forum viewers,

Attached are photos recently sent to us from a patient who came to our clinic in the summer of ‘08. The patient is of asian decent and is a class 3 with straight, medium coarse, dark brown hair. The patient’s goal was to thicken the frontal hair line and add coverage to the temple regions. The patient was treated with approx. 1100 CIT grafts over one day. Our approach to restoring ...

This class 3 patient came to our clinic with a simple goal in mind to restore the natural density on the frontal hair line that once existed. This patient has well above average donor density and a medium caliber of hair. At just 9 months post-op, this patient has regained confidence to go out in public with the "slick" look. The soft and natural appearance of the redefined front line is most satisfying for this ...

This patient’s goal was to maintain density in the frontal third and obtain a natural looking hair transplant result. Dr. Cole treated this class 3 patient by transferring a mere 700 CIT grafts to the frontal scalp. At this point, we have considered that additional hair loss may occur and have taken a conservative approach to restore the recession. This result is in the likeness of the “less is more” approach. Keep in mind that ...

A natural looking result was what this patient had in mind before coming to our clinic in the winter of ‘07. The patient has medium fine hair and above average donor density. The patient is a class 3V potential class 5. Dr. Cole’s treatment plan was to conservatively add 1100 CIT grafts to the top in consideration of future hair loss. Dr. Cole also recommended that maximal medical management was advantageous for this patient to ...
