Using smaller punches, we can now safely remove more grafts in less time than ever before. This instrument allows Dr. Cole to extract over 2000 grafts an hour (minus donor site preparation time). This device is sure to revolutionize the hair transplant industry and make strip surgery, and resulting strip scars, obsolete in years to come.]]> Wed, 22 Sep 2010 21:13:54 GMT http://www.forhair.com/viewvideo/49/live-surgery-videos/groundbreaking-developments-for-fue-hair-transplant.htm  Dr. John P.

The area on the top of the scalp initially had hair growing in it from the strip procedure, but later became completely bald. The loss of hair in this area was correlated with the application of topical combination of Minoxidil and Retin A. The patient noted that the area gradually became irritated and red with the development of a crust. Scarring alopecias can produce skin changes and hair loss similar to this, but one often is not able to get additional grafts to grow in the area of scared skin. These combinations of Minoxidil and Retin A can be quite irritating to the skin. There is no strong evidence that Retin A adds any additional benefit to the Minoxidil. This patient later discontinued using the combinantion of Minoxidil with Retin A and later peeled the scab off. The area was left without hair and the skin had the appearance of scar tissue. Another contributing factor for this patient’s need of CIT hair transplant method was the lower donor density due to strip surgery from the past. Beginning in 2005, the IHTI surgical staff successfully transplanted 2000 CIT grafts to treat this patients’ hair loss. The treatment plan consisted of three smaller CIT sessions to achieve ideal coverage on the receded areas. This patient noted growth within just two months after his first procedure which in not uncommon as all hairs do not grow at the same rate. The results after 28 months can be seen below as well as images of a satisfied patient.]]> Tue, 24 Feb 2009 12:26:46 GMT http://www.forhair.com/viewvideo/44/cit-fue-hair-transplant-results/case-qtaq-2000-cit.htm  This patient is a class 3v potential class v with average donor density of 180 hairs per cm2. This patient was treated with 3000 CIT grafts over two sessions. The goal of the patient was to fill-in the temple region recessions, maintain coverage on top, and add a natural density in the crown. At several months post-op, this patient has obtained excellent coverage and is satisfied with the new appearance.]]> Fri, 30 Jan 2009 10:27:15 GMT http://www.forhair.com/viewvideo/43/cit-fue-hair-transplant-results/qcase-qq-cit-to-crown-and-frontal-third.htm  Dr. Cole transferred 200 scalp hair grafts and 200 body hair grafts to the front and scar. The attached video depicts the growth after several months of maturity]]> Mon, 26 Jan 2009 19:51:50 GMT http://www.forhair.com/viewvideo/42/hair-transplant-repair-scars-plugs-pitting/pw-hair-transplant-repair-patient.htm  This patient came to our clinic in hopes of obtaining a natural looking hair line via CIT. The patient’s previous procedure left the hairline very “pluggy” looking and noticeably mis-angled by a strip (FUT) clinic. For our surgical staff to provide corrective treatment on this patient, a plug redistribution session was necessary. In this repair session, we removed large follicular units (2 to 5 hair), dissected them and placed them back onto the hair line for a softer appearance. Often times patients want us to place these dissected follicular units back onto their donor areas to disguise scarring. Being very displeased with his hair line, he contacted us to arrange repair. The purpose of this session was to remove the large grafts on the hair line. The session resulted in the redistribution of approximately 170 plugs that yielded approx. 371 grafts for placement back onto his frontal scalp via CIT. At 12 months post-op, you can now see a more natural result after one day of CIT repair. We are excited to present another successfully treated repair case. Repair can be more difficult to accomplish than a usual hair transplant session. Repair cases also may require more than one session to reach each patient’s goals. The patient returned after 12 months to add single hairs to the hair line for a more softer and full result. The final result can also require up to 12 months to fully mature as the scalp heals and reforms. ]]> Fri, 12 Sep 2008 14:51:54 GMT http://www.forhair.com/viewvideo/41/hair-transplant-repair-scars-plugs-pitting/hair-line-repair-via-cit-method.htm  This hair transplant patient came to our clinic in the winter of 07’. The patient is a class 3v with straight, medium coarse, salt and pepper hair. Before coming to our clinic, the patient had 2 strip sessions and a scalp reduction performed during the mid 90’s. The patient’s goal was to soften the frontal hair line and add coverage to the frontal third. Dr. Cole successfully treated this patient with 1000 CIT grafts to the frontal scalp. The video / photo results shown below depict this patient’s progress at 10 months post-op. A dramatic change in the appearance of the frontal scalp has been achieved by 1000 CIT grafts. Also attached is video footage of the patient’s donor area previously harvested by approx. 1800 strip (FUT) grafts and 1000 CIT grafts. CIT scarring may or may not be visible in comparison to the strip scars that are visible in this patient’s donor. This is an advantage of beginning and ending hair restoration with CIT hair transplant method. With CIT, there is no linear scarring associated with strip hair transplant method (FUT). No clinic can guarantee that a surgery is 100% scar free but there are less invasive methods to harvest a donor area. A hair transplant should be performed by hair transplant methods that produce the best aesthetic result in both the donor and recipient area. This satisfied patient will be returning to add density in the crown and top.]]> Sun, 17 Aug 2008 17:11:04 GMT http://www.forhair.com/viewvideo/27/cit-fue-hair-transplant-results/1000-cit-grafts-at-10-months-post-op.htm  This is a pre-op and post-op video of a donor area that was previously harvested via strip (FUT) and then grafted with 130 CIT grafts.]]> Sun, 10 Aug 2008 08:49:39 GMT http://www.forhair.com/viewvideo/25/hair-transplant-repair-scars-plugs-pitting/cit-scar-grafting-results.htm  Results/Norwood 5/3000 Grafts In 2005, this class 5 patient had a follicular unit transplant session of 3000 grafts to the front, top, and crown. He has recently come by the office and said that the hair transplant was the best thing that he had ever done.]]> Sun, 10 Aug 2008 08:41:53 GMT http://www.forhair.com/viewvideo/24/strip-hair-transplant-results/resultsnorwood-53000-grafts.htm  This patient received 3950 FIT grafts back in December of 2003 with Dr. Cole. Prior to this treatment he had undergone antiquated hair surgeries that resulted in massive open donor scarring and rows of misangled, tufty grafts. To compound the problem this individual experienced additional hair loss, further exposing the plugs and scars. The objective of the FIT session was to create coverage over the front, top, and crown area. Additionally, the hyper-dense plug grafts on the hairline were de-bulked with FIT and the resulting follicular units were redistributed. This is yet another case that illustrates the effectiveness of FIT in harvesting large numbers of grafts. We were happy to greet the patient as his slam dunk transformation was undeniable.]]> Sun, 10 Aug 2008 08:36:26 GMT http://www.forhair.com/viewvideo/23/cit-fue-hair-transplant-results/cit-hair-transplant-repair-results.htm  In 2005, this patient received a small session of CIT taken from the scalp then a smaller session of CIT grafts from beard.]]> Sun, 10 Aug 2008 08:29:58 GMT http://www.forhair.com/viewvideo/22/cit-fue-hair-transplant-results/beard-restoration-via-cit.htm  This patient was a norwood 6 before his first 2 sessions of 1300 CIT grafts total.

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 the patient’s previously strip harvested donor resources. In 2007, the patient’s goal was to add density to the top, frontal scalp and temporal points. This patient’s donor area is comprised of a very fine caliper of hair with slightly above average hair density of about 190 hairs per cm2 with 180 being average. As you can see, the recipient area requires larger and smaller follicular units of better quality for optimal coverage. The patient recently came in for a touch-up to the frontal hair line and is very pleased with the outcome of the CIT procedure. The patient reported that the CIT was much less painful, caused less soreness and was much less invasive than his prior procedure. This patient looks much more youthful at 12 months after the CIT treatment and is expecting to see thicker hair in the coming months. Our clinic often uses live patients to show the quality of our work. Dr. Cole discloses the pros and cons of CIT to the patients. We offer several CIT hair transplant preparation methods and also specialize in restoration of the finest facial hair. Often times we show the quality of our work through photography, video or by live patient viewings. We strive to achieve our patients’ goals in hair restoration by transplanting fewer grafts for ideal coverage. The freshly positioned follicular unit grafts are placed in the most natural fashion possible without the use of a scalpel or stitches.]]> Sun, 10 Aug 2008 08:08:22 GMT http://www.forhair.com/viewvideo/20/cit-fue-hair-transplant-results/1500-cit-grafts-treats-class-4a-strip-patient.htm  Below is a video of a class III patient who underwent a small CIT session with a scar revision.

At age 35, he wanted to fill in the recessions, redefine the frontal hairline, and give some light coverage to the thinning crown. He suffered progressive hair loss during this period of time, which, in retrospect, would probably have him at about a class V had he not undergone HT surgery. It is a good teaching case for demonstrating different philosophies about HT surgery. Between early 2004 and late 2005, he had three smaller procedures, which together accounted for 4800 grafts, all via FIT technique. Each time he was seen, we noticed progression of the hair loss, mostly manifesting as loss behind the frontal forelock (the "C"-shaped pattern so common with class III's as the recessions move back and centrally), and also widening of the crown loss. Eventually, the middle third on top was beginning to go, too. This gentleman is a good example of a pattern which is not uncommon. The hair loss is not aggressive early on (teens and twenties) and may not manifest at all until later in life (30's or even 40's), but may progress relatively rapidly to a class V. I know, it happened to me. Fortunately, we were able to keep up with this man's loss with smaller procedures and the end result excellent.]]> Sun, 10 Aug 2008 06:48:29 GMT http://www.forhair.com/viewvideo/15/cit-fue-hair-transplant-results/cit-results-of-norwood-3v.htm  This Norwood 2 patient received approx. 650 grafts over two very small sessions of CIT to fill-in the left and right sides of the frontal hair line.]]> Sun, 10 Aug 2008 06:16:28 GMT http://www.forhair.com/viewvideo/14/cit-fue-hair-transplant-results/cit-results-on-norwood-ii-650-grafts.htm  This patient was originally plug grafted in 1979 by a well known clinic in Beverly Hills CA.
