Translation Results Requested Through Conyac Made Public

I understand your concern about getting hair transplant. I have covered most of you questions in my previous emails, but I will try to re-explain some of them again to you.



Can the portion (white part) of the collected hair be cut into smaller smaller parts?



I quite didn’t understand what you mean by that? Which white part are you talking about? Grafts?



Is there any effect of Acell+prp injection: that is, whether new hair growth of the portion of the collected hair be thicker than the presently existing thin hair portion?

No. PRP & Acell will be in donor and recipient area, so you will have same overall coverage for all hair.

Won't there be any hair growth without the effect of the Acell+prp injection?



There is definitely growth without using PRP & Acell. The reason we highly recommend using PRP &Acell is because it stimulates and generates skin tissue and promotes faster and improved healing following a hair transplant procedure. The regeneration of normal skin in an extraction site will serve to make an already superior aesthetic procedure even better. Anyway you slice it, Acell has great promise for treating the donor area. One aspect we will look for is an elimination of "white spotting" or hypopigmentation that may occur in some patients who undergo FUE. If we can get proliferation of melanocytes into such extraction sites, this alone will be a huge bonus.


When I had been for counseling at that clinic,
I was told that, for hair growth of about


1cm they will require about 800 graft of about 500 to 1.5 cm front back hair transplant.
So I'm a little unsure that I really need 1500 grafts.



Considering your goal and expectations as far as restoring all thinning area (s) from lowering your frontal hairline, to filling your mid scalp and crown region and some density on the sides, our Patient consultant feel Dr. Cole would recommend **1500** grafts for initial procedure with possibility adding some more in order to begin to restore your frontal hairline and mid scalp region with the CIT procedure, along with the Acell & PRP treatments (More information in attached files). Rest assured that before we move forward and schedule your procedure Dr. Cole will be reviewing your information and photos once more to confirm this concise recommendation. The actual number harvested could vary from this estimate. All of the hair will be harvested and implanted in naturally occurring groups for the best cosmetic result. At the time of the surgery, Dr. Cole may find he can move more hair safely, so if you elect to keep the size of the session open ended, then a higher number of grafts should be budgeted. It is important that we are aware if you have had any previous hair restoration procedures with another physician and the total number of grafts. If you feel you can get **800** grafts with other Physician and that works for you, by all means it is always patient’s choice at the end. Based on Dr.Cole’s knowledge and his long run experience in this field his recommendations are based on your information, photos , goals and expectations.



The top of my head is just a little thin so (and this is a layperson's opinion but) if the Acell + prp is effective after (100~200 grafts?)then I feel like getting the injection would be okay.



We have witnessed re-growth of hair in the donor area and calculated the percentage on one patient to generate 53% of regrowing hair in the donor sites. We cannot guarantee anything as this is all very new and we have no seen enough return patients to give any statistics on it. Results of PRP and Acell use varies from patient to patient, case to
case as hair structure, texture and grown speed are all different in each individual. What does seem to be consistent is the healing is expedited, pinkness is going away in a couple of days versus a couple of weeks. PRP and Acell combined produces the best results. So, that’s why we highly recommend these two combined treatments.



If July doesn’t work for you, some of our August dates are still available. If you choose to do CIT Non shaven Procedure, Dr. Cole does not perform any Non shaven procedures on Fridays. So, you have to go with another day of the week. If you are ok with shaven procedure, Friday should be fine to pick.
