HAIR TRANSPLANT FORUM

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 ...

Dr. Cole transplanted 2,447 CIT grafts to the frontal area using the Programmable Power Cole Isolation Device, (PCID). ...

How much does it cost for hair transplant in Usa?

HI All,

I'm interested in improving the recipient scalp which was damaged by the nobel clinc many moons ago, and which Dr Cole has done so much to improve over the years. I understand the dermaroller products can help break up bundles of collagen in the scar tissue, and normally a length of between 1 and 1.5 mm is recommended for this. While dermarollers for hair loss (which I have no idea if they work) ...

Here is another CIT result of a patient who is 6 months post-op. This Norwood class 6 patient pursued our clinic in hopes of restoring the frontal region and top. Dr. Cole transplanted approximately 2800 CIT grafts to reconstruct the hair line and add coverage to the mid-scalp. The patient has straight salt & pepper hair and a donor density of 150 hairs per square centimeter ...

We’re excited to follow this patient’s progress over the past 5 months and hope to have him come by the office so that we can take some higher quality follow-up photos.  At 5 months out, he has about 50% growth.  After 3 months, 30% of the grafts had grown in; at 4 months, he had another 10%; at 5 months you will see another 10%.  However, it’s important to understand that the length will not ...
