HAIR TRANSPLANT FORUM

Any news of Dr. Cole carrying out hair transplants /consultations in London or UK? Although I joined in 2005 I have only revisted the forum after an absence yesterday ? asking a seemingly obvious question.

Welcome Back Marc,
Not Yet, we currently have a clinic in Belgium that offers surgeries and consultations, we are working on some more alternatives but bare in mind that when one consider to get the best hair transplant by the best surgeon, distance should not be an obstacle on your goals.

Thanks for the prompt reply. I have just been browsing the forum and note some discussion on the Choi method linked to another forum there seems to be some disagreement whether this is a good technique as apparently some of the top surgeons in world do not utilise it, the advocates seem to recommend it in terms of its ability to get many grafts transplanted in one session ...any opinion

the choi implanter was developed in Korea for use on Korean patients. It has been modified in the way it is used by a handful of surgeons. they make the incision sites first. then they use the choi implanter to insert the grafts. the grafts are inserted below the surface of the skin. this results in an orange peel look to the skin with pits all over it. the growth is not very good. the problem with the choi is that you cannot control the depth of the graft placement and limit it to above the surface of the skin or flush with the skin. when you place it below the skin, which occurs all to frequently, the hair yeild is not as good, meaning you get less growing hair, and the skin appearance is ugly and pitted. i do not recomend the use of the choi implanter except in the hands of the koreans who invented it. they are the only ones who appear capable of generating good results with the choi implanter.
