HAIR TRANSPLANT FORUM

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?

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

I have an upcoming appointment and I'm interested in having Dr Cole try a few chest hairs to see if they are an option for me in the future. How large a section do I need to pre-shave (per the BHT pre-op instructions)?

Is it necessary to stop using Nizoral in the days before surgery?

Hi, as you know I got my CIT 11 months ago. And I've been consistent is protecting my scalp with a cap for 6 months post op...even at night. Well, lately....like 3 months ago, I've been working as a limo driver. So I pretty much have to be out in the road. Now they are giving me more day cuz it's getting busy, and I'm exposed to the sun a lot more. Even though the ...

Hello Dr Cole,

I had the PRP/Acell treatment done in June. I noticed results in 2 weeks with hair color change and increased diameter. Into about 6 weeks I started have a shed of terminal hairs, very thick. It has since stopped, probably since I responded well to treatment the follicles are regrouping and forming and even better hair.

How long does it usually take a the hair that is shed to come back, just ...

This is a 4 month result on a patient of ours who sent photos to us from Europe. He had 4,669 grafts, including 2,966 from the scalp and 1,703 from the beard. We pre-treated the recipient area with Acell injections and coated the grafts with Acell. We also treated the recipient area with PRP and activated the PRP with Thrombin. He is coming back to us at the 5 month mark for additional grafting from ...
