HAIR TRANSPLANT FORUM

what causes scars

Hello,
Im in my mid twenties and just don't know what to do. Just like most men when I started to go bald I didn't know what to do so I visited a dr and had a strip transplant done in mid 04. I still had plenty of hair but according to the dr many patients did the procedure anyway. Now that my natural hair line is going away the implanted hairs are sticking around ...

I would like to bring forth an interesting study used to treat vitiligo. Vitiligo is a loss of skin pigment. Dark skin turns white in vitiigo. When you do a strip surgery, you find that the scar is often bright pink or white. One way we have treated these white strip scars in the past is to place grafts from FIT into the scar. We have found that this often helps to make the scars ...

I just wanted to state that we have been extremely successful at repairing old plugs, scars, lowering imflammed ridges, and decreasing pitting. After working for the last two years on some of the most difficult repair jobs, I feel comfortable in that we are able to make people once scared to go outside... able to go outside with there hats off. All of the repairs I have seen have been turned away from prominent physicians. ...

I've been looking at this forum and it doesn't look like many people are posting, but since this is the only place I've seen this issue discussed like this, here's my question and problem. I have black straight hair and I had a strip scar from 1996. I used to buzz my hair until I got the scar. It was too late but I realized that my head doesn't look good with anything but a ...

Those of you have had good procedures should consider yourself VERY FORTUNATE. I have had a total of four procedures done from about 1994 to 1999 with 2000 graphs total. How many of those grew in Im not sure though the Dr. ...

First, allow me to say that hair transplantation is pure folly. It's a never-ending battle the patient can never win. The fact is your own hair just keeps falling out as you get older, so you're on a perpetual surgical spin. Even with the very best surgeons, the fact is the surgeon's checking account is what benefits the most.

I am presently 43-years-old, I've had multiple procedures beginning at age 28. It had finally reached ...

Dr. Cole,

I just read an interview with Dr. Limmer where in he discusses the differences between Strip scarring and FUE scarring. In all fairness I believe the article was several years old.

In the interview Limmer down played the frequency of problem (linear) scarring. He also offers the opinion that linear scars can be fixed with relative ease…what about over harvesting and diffuse scaring via FUE though?

This seemed like a weird concern to ...
