Hair Transplant – The Woods Technique: Minimally Invasive from Start to Finish.

Invented and perfected by Dr. Woods and Dr. Campbell, The Woods Technique created unprecedented upheavals in the surgical hair restoration industry because for the first time in decades, hair transplant can be done non invasively without cutting through the donor site using a scalpel.

True to the "Do No Harm" principle that is defined in the world's first and only Patient Rights Declaration, Dr. Woods and Dr. Campbell practice their "minimally invasive" hair transplant technique to the fullest: from the time the donor follicle is extracted to the point when the follicle is transplanted into the recipient site.

HairSite is proud to present world’s exclusive footage showing how the micro slits are created in the patient's recipient site using a 21 gauge needle under The Woods Technique.

You can see for yourself that this is a truly "MINIMALLY INVASIVE" procedure.

Hair Transplant – Hair Transplant Results in Cyprus under Dr. Cole’s Supervision.

In the beginning of 2003 Dr. Cole (International Hair Transplant Institute IHTI) began training a surgical team in Cyprus. The purpose for this hair restoration clinic was to provide a USA trained, high quality hair restoration surgery to Europeans and the rest of the world at an affordable price.

During the past 20 months IHTI has housed and trained a complete surgery team in the USA. Following this hands-on training, Dr. Cole sent his surgical team to Cyprus to continue the training and monitor their progress.

Nine months ago the surgery team in Cyprus began to perform their own surgeries under Dr. Cole’s close supervision and monitoring. The results of this Cyprus team are outstanding.

With the establishment of the Cyprus clinic, many Europeans can now get quality hair transplant at an affordable rate of Eur2.5 per graft.

Hair Transplant – Hyper-acute Angle Placement for Hairline Restoration.

For some patients with extensive thinning, eg: a norwood 5 or 6, Dr.Arvind advocates the formation of recipient sites at a much more acute angle for such patients. Instead of having the hair growing at 30 degrees to the scalp, they almost lie flat, i.e.,15-20 degrees). According to Dr. Arvind Poswal, the rationale for such an acute angulation in hairline placement is that it makes the hair almost lie on the scalp leading to a greater degree of coverage than would be possible if the hair were, comparatively speaking, standing up. Dr. Arvind Poswal thinks that hyperacute angulation is especially helpful in those with extensive hairloss and a limited donor supply.

Hair Transplant Repair Case – Strip Repair Case, Dr. Cole’s Patient.

This is a class 6 repair case. The patient used to wear a hair piece. He had one session of mini-grafts placed into holes in 2003. He could tell immediately that this procedure would yield an unnatural, pluggy result so he rapidly sought a repair solution.

Dr. Cole performed 3000 grafts from the front to the back. In a single procedure he has obtained excellent coverage in the front. The rear of the scalp needs one more session (the back or crown almost always requires 2 to 3 times as much work to achieve the same degree of coverage). Most of the grafts were dense packed into the front.

Dr. Cole and his staff also needed to deal with big plugs and the results are showing a softer natural look. The patient can live a normal life without the hard maintenance of a hair piece and he is very excited about his 2nd procedure.

Hair Transplant – Latest Update from DJ, One of the Worst Repair Cases Ever.

DJ is one of Dr. Cole’s repair patients. He is by far the worst repair case I have seen in person. Dr. Cole had to deal with a head that has gone through 13 small strip surgeries of 50 grafts each, 3 scalp lifts that produced 3 huge scars down the center all the way to back, 4 scar revisions from ear to ear that caused even wider scarring, and last but not least, tattooing all over the head that eventually turned his scalp color to blue. We are showing the part where Dr. Cole grafted the ears and the neck area that had almost no hair.
