HAIR TRANSPLANT FORUM

Hi forum viewers,

Several years ago this class 4A patient had a strip procedure performed before having a CIT (Cole Isolation Technique) procedure done. Through the years, the patient’s hair loss progressed and the loss of native hairs on the scalp were replaced with newly transplanted hairs to add density in the receded areas on top of the scalp. Last year, the patient came to Dr. Cole for about 1500 transplanted CIT grafts to maximize ...

Hi forum viewers,

We have recently received progress photos of a class 4A patient who came to Dr. Cole in the early part of 2006 after having a strip (FUT) performed. At that time, the patient desired to add density to the top, establish a conservative hair line and graft into strip scar via CIT. The patient has light brown hair with an average donor density (180 hairs per square centimeter). Dr. Cole's treatment plan ...

In 2007, this Norwood 5 came to our clinic only to add density to the top and frontal-third. The patient has medium-fine curly hair and average donor density. Dr. Cole’s treatment plan for the patient was to transfer 2300 CIT grafts to the frontal scalp and top. The patient has recently returned to add light coverage to the crown. The growth after 18 months is very pleasing to the patient. We are excited to post ...

I've been reading a lot about shock loss in the donor area after a CIT. I found out this is very rare. It's like one case in every 10,000. It may be premature to say (I'm 5 weeks PostOp) but looking at these pics seems like I'm the second or third case in history with Donor Shock Loss. I didn't really notice until a friend asked if I had a haircut in the back of ...

This 55 year old patient came to our clinic in hopes of adding density on the frontal hair line. Before coming to Dr. Cole, the patient had a scalp reduction performed in the mid 90’s and was a class 3. The patient’s donor density measured about average at 180 hairs per square centimeter. During June of 07’ this patient received a combination of non-shaven CIT and strip (FUT) grafts for a total of approximately 800 ...

It's been a week since I had my HT and results are impressive. Only one week after surgery. I have 99% of my grafts in place without scabs in my recipient area. I used a gel w/Five-Alpha reductace and did not see a tiny bit of blood in my recipient area since I started spraying it consistently every hour with distilled water and gel, two hours after surgery. One week post Op all scabs are ...

I have severly depleted donor hair with many bad scars. I need to use all possible head hair I have left to somewhat fill in these scars as this is my top priority.

I want to know if its possible to use beard hair to fill in my crown area. (I don't have a lot of body hair otherwise but my beard grows in very thick and quickly).

Attached is a pic of the crown.

This is my20hr post-op pic. I'm a 42 y.o. and had 854 grafts removed from the back of my head into my hairline by Dr. Cole and team, yesterday.

Does anyone know what size of CIT punch tool they used to extract the FUs from my donor area ? I'd like to know because even though the holes look big if compared to other post-op pics I've seen from Dr. Cole's patients, you can still ...

Here are before and after photos of a Norwood 3 patient who came to our clinic just before New Years day of 2007. The patient has medium light brown hair with an above average donor density of 116 hairs per square centimeter. At 30 years of age, the patient’s goals were to increase density in frontal third. Dr. Cole successfully transplanted 1550 grafts to treat this patient’s hair loss. The grafts were strategically placed to ...

This 52 year old Norwood 3V patient came to Dr. Cole in the winter of 07’. The patient began noticing hair loss at the age of 18 but only recently began using hair loss medications to maintain the pre-existing hair. The patient’s goal was to re-establish the frontal hair line area via CIT (non-strip) method. This patient has medium brown hair with average hair density. Before the procedure, the patient was told that every time ...
