2015 Spring Update on Piloscopic Surgical Technique
Billena replied to Dr. Carlos Wesley's topic in Open Hair Loss Topics
Our office will post a video summary of Dr. Wesley's update from last week's ISHRS meeting in Chicago later this week. In it, we will show a bit of live footage of the piloscopic procedure being performed. -
Thank you! This also represents another example of a type of patient who certainly appreciates not having to shave the recipient area for hair transplantation.

For those interested in a broad overview of surgical hair restoration, Dr. Wesley has recently co-authored an in-depth entry on Medscape. This is the largest online physician reference site and can be accessed by all for their research needs in familiarizing themselves with the process. The article is entitled "Hair Transplantation" and (in collaboration with Dr. Epstein) covers all aspects (pre-op, post-op) of hair restoration surgery. Hair Transplantation topics covered include: Background Anatomy Pathophysiology Etiology Epidemiology Prognosis Patient Education

This 37-year-old female wanted to fill in her receding hairline and slightly advance her hairline. Early hair growth from a 1527-graft follicular unit transplantation (FUT) session with Dr. Carlos K. Wesley (NYC) can be seen even at 4.5 months. The graft breakdown is also included below. The early growth seen by many of the patients in our practice may stem from the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and ACell Matristem as a graft holding solution. Full growth is typically appreciated about one year post transplantation.

This 37-year-old man came in to reverse the loss throughout his hairline. Results from his 2131-graft session of follicular unit extraction (FUE) by Dr. Wesley can be seen as early as seven months after the procedure. Full growth is typically appreciated a year after the session. However, with the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and ACell used within the graft storage solution, hair growth has trended earlier for patients. Of note, even FUE patients of Dr. Wesley's are NOT required to shave the hair within their recipient area if they wish to return to work and social activities within a week to 10 days.

We welcome you to enjoy this piece with your morning cup of coffee!

A 33-year-old male received a total of 4534 grafts with Dr. Carlos K. Wesley in order to fill in not only the frontal half of his scalp, but also to add density to his mid scalp. Below, he can be seen before and three (3) years after his FUT session. For his procedure (as with all of our patients), platelet rich plasma (PRP) and ACell were used as storage solutions.

Here is an update on this patient now more than 2 years out from his initial procure with Dr. Wesley. The patient returned for a 1416 graft session to his crown. As you can see from the video montage (above), this was the lone remaining area needing coverage. Of note, over the course of his two (2) procedures with Dr. Wesley, this patient expressed appreciation for NOT having to shave his head. As his career was particularly important to him, he had to return to work within 7-10 days. With his pre-existing hair intact, he was able to do so comfortably.
