HAIR TRANSPLANT FORUM

It’s not always feasible for NW class 5-6 patients to restore a full head of hair when there are financial constraints involved. Dr. Cole is able to address hairloss with such patients. Here is an example.
Not all NW class 5-6 patients have the money to restore a full head of hair. In such instances, we try to make the most out of a limited budget. This is an example. Dr. Cole transplanted 2552 total ...

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 ...

Hi Guys,


I had a hair transplant 3,5 months ago (FUE, 1100 grafts). There was an early and substantial growth, now new hair cover most of the transplant area. Two patches took longer to heal and I still wait for yield there. Generally, everything was fine until a couple of days ago.


A couple of days ago, after a usual shower I noticed white stuff between my transplanted hair (NOT anywhere else, only where the ...

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.

When extracting the graft using C2g do you trim the hair from the graft and then use the PCID? Are all C2g extractions made with PCID or are other punches used?

Since the nature of C2g ...

This patient originally underwent the shaven CIT procedure of 1,845 grafts in July of 2004. Then when he returned to our clinic, he decided to have the Non-shaven CIT, or C2G (CIT to Go), because he needed to return to work, immediately following the procedure. 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 ...

This patient had 482 FUE grafts placed into his 2 cm wide strip scar. These photos show his results after this single procedure. The scar was pre-treated with Acell and PRP. The patient obtained 52% of his donor area hair mass as indicated by cross section tricometry known as Hair Check.

I know that doctors use beard hair to fill in scars. What is the survival rate for beard hair used in scar repair? Also, since beard hair is coarse wouldn't its use leave an odd looking band of thick hair in the back of a patients head?

What is Dr. Cole's opinion of the use of nape hair for transplantation i.e. is nape hair safe?

Thanks

Dr. Cole Hair Transplant Group team members are nice and you will have a pleasant experience for the most part. Now for the bad part....if you are an African American seeking a Hair transplant I would not recommend Dr. Cole for the procedure. I have had two transplants with Dr. Cole and they were not very successful. After the first transplant Dr. Cole informed me that if the procedure didn't take well, then he would ...

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