By Sharon Stajda, For years men have had to live with the devastation of losing their hair. Maybe its time for bald men to take another look at baldness... VD: "Let's put it this way, we're all going to lose it eventually, so you're better off making a stylistic choice early. Then nobody will be able to fault you for it later when it's your style and you're really sing it." "Let's put it this way, we're all going to lose it eventually, so you're better off making a stylistic choice early. Then nobody will be able to fault you for it later when it's your style and you're really sing it." Are bald men sexy? Loads of women out there say ---ABSOLUTELY! After all, some of today's hottest Celebes and entertainers are bald -- think Patrick Stewart, Sean Connery, James Taylor, Montel Williams, Ed Harris, Bruce Willis, Anthony Edwards, Vin Diesel. Not to mention Emmett Smith,,, I mean these guys are sexy... Would they be as sexy with hair? I think not! Do you think this list of Celebes are worried about baldness? I bet--- all the way to the bank... Celebrities that have chosen to embrace their baldness have paved the way for all the millions of men that lose their hair. Baldness is no longer the brunt of jokes, at least not to the extent it has been in the past.The fact is, baldness is quickly becoming a fashion statement for men--- in fact the new question is, is he naturally bald or does he shave it? |

I had a hair transplant about five days ago. My scalp is fine - hardly any redness at all. In fact, it barely looks like I have had a hair restoration procedure done at all. However, before the hair surgery I used Toppik to cover the thin spots in my crown. [...] |

Transplanting hair from the body to the balding scalp, typically referred to as Body Hair Transplantation or BHT for short, has become a subject of intense interest to many hair transplant patients (especially those who are endowed with the body hair of hairy back gorilla).
Some hair transplant physicians have been experimenting with and studying the [...] |

Over the past several years our office has evolved from a primarily STRIP-oriented practice to a primarily FIT-oriented practice. We find the calculated densities (hairs per graft) with FIT to be better than those of any strip procedure that we know of. Moreover, we find that FIT leaves a consistently better donor area than any strip surgery we know of. Still, there are some patients are in fact good candidates for STRIP as well as FIT. These patients are typically 40 years old or older, have stable and moderate hair loss, do not intend to ever clip there hair short, and desire a large number of grafts in a single day. While we recognized the STRIP harvest as a good solution for a small subset of patients, we object to its application in all cases. This is so with tricophytic strip harvest as well.
Recently the tricophytic closure has been marketed as a technique whereby strip scarring is rendered invisible or nearly invisible. With this closure technique rows of follicles are transected along one of the lips of the incision and the wound is closed. If the incision heals to a 1-2 mm width, some of these transected follicles will grow through the scar and camouflage it to some degree. While this can be beneficial, it can place follicles at risk. Furthermore, the hair angle distortion associated with strip harvesting is not negated with tricophytic closure. In fact this may be amplified with the misaligned hairs growing through the scar tissue. If the scar heals wider than expected, the benefit of the tricophytic approach is nil while issue of hair wastage persist. Therefore tricophytic closure has a limited indication within the already small subset of patient who are STRIP candidates.

Back in late July 2006 Dr. Cole performed a density study that tested various grafted densities in regular triangular patterns. Here is a link to initial article and study: http://www.forhair.com/hairtransplant/viewtopic.php?t=984
In short, 2 rows of cm2 boxes where grafted into with single hair leg grafts to the monitor the 5 follow densities: 24g/cm2, 30g/cm2, 36g/cm3, 42g/cm2 and 49g/cm2. One row was oriented in the lateral plane and the other the sagittal plane.
At 4.5 months post op we were able to get some photos of our test subject. Several phenomena are observable at this early stage. Firstly, the sagittal row of boxes experience faster growth than the coronal rows. Secondly, the leg hairs grafted at 24-36 grafts per cm2 have responded better than the leg hair grafted at 42-49 grafts per cm2. This was true with both that sagittal and lateral rows. A purple marker was used to box the 42g/cm2 and 49g/cm2 areas in the most recent photos.
While it is still early, it is clear that our test subject |
