Historical Perspective: It is important to understand that many of the accoutrements that adorn our bodies arose from earlier, less sophisticated times. The use of wigs date back to the Egyptians in the years between 4000-300 BC. They were used extensively by men and women. The Greeks were the first to popularize wigs and braids […]

There are no survival reports or good data on the subject so there is little to report that is reliable. There is one published case with scant data from an unreliable source so I can not feel comfortable about recommending it. This is an issue that particularly bothers me. Body hair generally grows one at […]
Received this email yesterday… I would start off saying that I was very successful in every field I have been in. Part of the reason that I moved around a great deal was general boredom or lack of stimulus. In the hair restoration field, I have had the opportunity to become intimate with my patients. […]
This is a difficult question to answer properly, so as I have lots of room and time to consider the question thoroughly, I will answer it in great detail. Read as much as you wish. The Hair Restoration industry has a society called the ISHRS (International Society of Hair Restoration Surgeons) and they are trying […]
I have not used this tool. Follicular unit extraction (FUE) is a difficult technique for many surgeons. There are many inventions and tools constantly being developed all over the world, but a new tool does not necessarily mean it is the next generation. From what I’ve seen in the video, it appears that it was […]
Without a Master Plan, a Norwood Class 7 patient can be exposed to the worst of the problems in planning. An unfortunate example of this is a patient with a complex surgical history that I just saw who had three procedures with three different doctors over the past 10 years. His balding pattern was heading […]
Hi. Body hair transplants should only be used if you are out of donor hair from the scalp. The growth cycle of body hair is different than scalp hair, as well as the hair characteristics themselves. Finasteride (Propecia) is an antiandrogen. An antiandrogen is something that inhibits the effects of androgens in the body. See […]
No. All cuts will produce a scar. The worst doctor with the worst technique can operate on one patient and have a great result with minimal scarring. Likewise, the best doctor with the best technique (using Trichophytic closure, etc) can operate on another patient and have a poor result with wide scarring. In other words, […]
These questions should have been addressed between you and your doctor. If not, you should call him or her and ask these questions. I think that the actual answer can be seen by looking at the creative way we extracted grafts with FUE. Generally, for a 100 graft FUE procedure, your hair would not require […]
I just answered a similar question a couple of weeks ago, but I’m going to get a little more in depth this time… The hair transplant medical field is not as standardized as one may think. There is the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS), but not all hair transplant doctors belong to the […]
Body hair transplants have problems, including the long sleep cycles of body hair. That means that up to 80% of transplanted body hair is sleeping and not present at any one time. Body hair transplants therefore give you efficiency factors, possibly in the range of 20% — in other words, they do not provide much […]
FUE and FIT is exactly the same procedure, with some technique variations. There are a number of technical ways to do it and FIT is a proprietary brand name developed by Dr. Cole to show some unique identification for him. Body hair transplants are new with not much validation from other doctors. There are only […]
New Hair Institute has offices in Northern and Southern California. Sorry, we do not have a location in Europe. We do perform Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), and in fact, we invented it. See our site for information about FUE. Body Hair Transplants (BHT) are still experimental. I do not do them because I want 100% […]
This is a question that I could write a book to adequately address. It involves many things including (1) ethics and earlier surgical solutions that were sub-standard solutions for hair loss, (2) what was/is informed consent for the surgical process of hair loss, (3) After 14 surgeries, what can he expect from the more modern […]
Is fut better if somebody is willing to do multiple surgeries throughout their life? Or is fut preferable in that case? Thanks. It makes no difference for lifetime hair transplants if you go to FUE or FUT
