CIT Results with PRP/ACELL/ATP - Dr. Cole - 1.999 grafts (Hair Transplant)

I'm always open to anything new. The rationale is simple. The average patient has only 4000 to 7000 grafts available in the donor area. You can split your three and four hair grafts into one hair grafts and get a whole lot more grafts, but it's still the same amount of hair and it will not be enough to conceal or cover extensive hair loss. Some things work well. Other efforts fail. Some work part of the time and don't work the rest of the time. Regardless, we can't stop looking for ways to expand the donor area. If Dr. Gho's method works, great. i'm all for it and ready to jump on board.

Today a large percentage of procedures are FUE procedures. I can recall when Ray Woods first described them. We thought it impossible. Then in 2002, I began to figure it out and by 2003, FUE was over 90% of my practice. Most physicians thought FUE would never work, much less begin to replace strip surgery. That's the general tendency of physicians. They are slow to accept change and they don't look for anything better. Why do you think plugs were so popular for 40 years? The same old physicians never bothered to look for a better way. Then suddenly someone tried smaller grafts and found they could produce outstanding results. I recall first working with smaller grafts in 1991. My colleagues thought I was crazy, but soon I was doing repair work on my colleagues plug cases. It took another 8 to 10 years for smaller grafts to replace mini-grafts and become mainstream.

Most don't look for something better or a better way. I think it's essential. We can't sit firm on what we have.

I know that when you transect a follicle and leave a portion in the donor area, the percentage of regrowth tends to depend on the level of the transection. The lower transected follicles have a smaller survival rate than the follicles transected higher or more superficial based on the only study i've ever seen that evaluated this in situ transection. Superficial transections have a very high regrowth rate. Deeper transections have about a 47 to 53% survival rate. i think if you add Acell to the mix, you will see an even greater survival rate of transected follicles.

i recently extracted an intact follicular unit that had completely regenerated with Acell. It had 3 hairs. That was pretty cool. I took a picture of the graft and gave it to my patient. That's why I don't dismiss what Dr. Gho is doing. If he can get a higher percentage of regrowth and do it on a more consistent basis, then I'm certainly on board.

Results are always limited by hair density, hair caliber, hair curl, hair color, and degree of hair loss. Any advantage I can get, I'll take because I know it will mean a great deal to my patients. i'm always open to paying for anything that produces a better result. I think it's great if he selling a better way to improve results.
