    This  patient underwent a follicular unit transplantation FUT session with Dr. Carlos K. Wesley in which a total of 4260 grafts were placed.

     

    Three unique elements combined to help improve his experience: no-shave requirement for optimal discretion, enhanced graft storage measures, and rigid patient safety standards.

     

    As with all of Dr. Wesley’s patients, he was NOT required to cut his hair for the procedure.  As a result, this patient was able to return comfortably to work and social activities within approximately 7-10 days of his procedure.

     

    The patient’s hair follicles were incubated in platelet rich plasma (PRP) throughout the duration of the procedure.  This, combined with an ATP-containing storage solution has been shown to enhance survival of transplanted hairs.

     

    Finally, having his procedure performed in our office with the highest standards of COVID precautions helped ensure patient safety. Every patient of Dr. Wesley’s receives a rapid COVID test upon arrival to our office equipped with an ultraviolet air purification system.  Measures such as reducing foot traffic by performing virtual consultations at no charge to patients, regular staff COVID testing and no-touch temperature checks of our team that avoids public transportation help preserve our clean and sanitary safe haven. Daily sterilization of the office coupled with the most rigid OR safety precautions further allay patient concerns in this sensitive time.   

     

    The patient returned  two years  after his procedure and images of the patient can be seen below.  This link illustrates the timing of hair growth after surgery.  Similar patient hair transformations with Dr. Wesley and his team may also be viewed.

    In order to repair a poorly-executed transplant performed by another surgeon, this 66-year-old man underwent a combination of two approaches with [URL="http://www.drcarloswesley.com"]Dr. Carlos K.

    This patient underwent a follicular unit extraction (FUE) session with Dr. Carlos K. Wesley in which a total of 4714 grafts were placed

     

    Three elements combined to help improve his experience: graft harvest, graft storage, and patient safety. Rather than a larger FUE punch used by a robotic approach, Dr. Wesley used a smaller caliber hand-held motorized punch to performed the donor harvest.  This approach better enabled the capture of donor intact hair roots that are slightly curved beneath the skin surface.  Upon completion of the harvest, the patient’s donor area was treated with PRP and ACell in order to not only minimize scar tissue formation, but also encourage partial regeneration of donor hair follicles.

    The patient’s hair follicles were incubated in platelet rich plasma (PRP) throughout the duration of the procedure.

    This, combined with an ATP-containing storage solution has been shown to enhance survival of transplanted hairs.


    As with all of Dr. Wesley’s patients, he was NOT required to cut his hair for the procedure.

    As a result, this patient was able to return comfortably to work and social activities within approximately 7-10 days of his procedure.


    The patient returned 10 mos. after his procedure and images of the patient can be seen below.
