Many patients have inquired about the current status of development for the piloscopic surgical technique. Therefore, Dr. Wesley wanted to share a link from his recent presentation delivered at the 2015 American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery Meeting that provides both an overview and an update. We hope that you find this helpful.

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. -
This 27-year-old man had undergone a follicular unit extraction (FUE) procedure at another practice one year ago. He grew frustrated that a significant number of the grafts remained as stubble even a full year after the procedure. He, therefore, had a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) series at our office. The results can be seen a few months later both in magnified form as well as globally.

A 40-year-old man had worn a hair piece for years. He became fed up with the routine and wanted to liberate himself from it. Using a combination of scalp follicular unit transplantation (FUT) and BEARD follicular unit extraction (FUE), Dr. Wesley was able to create a frontal hair pattern that mimicked a conservative version of the hair piece so that his transition to free himself from it was possible.

Patients are often pleasantly surprised to learn during their initial consultation that our practice does not require patients to shave their head for a follicular unit transplantation (FUT) procedure. As Dr. Wesley operates on only one patient per day, it is much easier to take the time to carefully navigate around the pre-existing hairs during recipient site creation. The benefit to patients occurs not only in the immediate short term (7-10 days) postoperatively when the redness can be better camouflaged by the longer native hairs, but also during the first few months of early growth

Patients are not required to shave their head during a hair restoration surgery procedure. When operating slowly and carefully, navigating between pre-existing hairs at their natural length is achievable. This allows patients to more comfortably and discretely return to work and/or social activities within a week to 10 days after the procedure. This video depicts a 28-year-old male who underwent a 2100-graft follicular unit transplantation (FUT) procedure with Carlos K. Wesley, MD in NYC. He can be seen before, during, and a few weeks and months after the procedure that was coupled with

I am writing this heartfelt testimonial with great pleasure, gratitude, and relief. It is my hope that my great fortune in finding Dr. Carlos Wesley will also become yours. I am a fifty-nine year old woman who feels twenty-nine, so I wasn't going down easy! In Sept of 2014, I noticed my widow's peak was disappearing and my hair line receding. This was a huge dilemma because I have always worn my hair pulled back, a classic Audrey Hepburn look. Now, the me I always saw in the mirror, was vanishing. In October of 2014, I went to a NYC dermatologist where they performed a full work-up which compr -
Much is still being discovered regarding the effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on human hair follicles. In our practice, we have observed that, when used as a holding solution, PRP can help increase the survival rate and caliber of transplanted grafts. We've also seen trends towards earlier transplanted hair growth when PRP is used as a graft holding solution. An additional finding that has also been observed by other practices throughout the world is that PRP can help return some of the original hair color to follicles. PRP appears to stimulate melanocytes in hair follicles which,

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 49-year-old gentleman wanted to finally cover the balding crown that had been bothering him for many years. A 2284-graft session by Dr. Wesley allowed for coverage over this large surface area. ACell and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) were used as storage media. The patient returned 10 months after his follicular unit transplantation procedure.

A common observation amongst patients during the early phase of hair growth following surgical hair restoration (either FUT or FUE) is ingrown hair follicles. The "pimples" that some (but not all) patients experience generally represent focal inflammation (folliculitis) where a newly-ingrowing hairs are beginning to surface. Patients can often feel reassured knowing that these generally precede more apparent hair growth over the following weeks and months. They can be seen in both the recipient area (where transplanted hairs are coming in) or donor region (especially in FUE where any res -

Hi, I'm Derek and am new here. I'm 31 years old and have been losing my hair slowly since I was 19. I have been on Propecia and have been on Avodart for the past few years. For the most part it has worked. I am not balding on my crown that bad, but my hairline keeps on receding ever so slowly and it's gotten to the point where I need to do something about it. Luckily I have pretty long hair so I am able to somewhat hide the fact that it is receding. Who is the absolute best person to go to for transplant work in New York? I have been told I have terrific donor areas and would only nee -
This past weekend's "Advances in Facial Reconstruction and Cosmetic Surgery Symposium" provided audience members in New York's Mount Sinai (Icahn) School of Medicine an opportunity to learn about insights regarding the future of hair restoration (both surgical and otherwise). Dr. Wesley lectured to colleagues ranging from resident physicians to attending physicians in fields such as dermatology, ENT surgery, and plastic surgery about topics including hair follicle cell therapy, laser hair treatments, and scarless surgical hair follicle harvesting. Building on this lecture, Dr. Wesley

This 34-year-old doctor wanted to add density to his thinning mid scalp. While he was bothered by the thinning on top of his head, the crown region (in back) didn't bother his as much. A 2579 FU session of FUT with Dr. Wesley focused on his mid scalp. By creating a feathered "arc" along the back border of the pattern of transplantation and leaving a portion of his crown untreated, young patients continue to have a natural appearance even when the thinning portion of their crown expands over time. The patient returned 12 months later for follow-up images and video of his new hairsty

This 22-year-old male was bothered by the progressive thinning of his hairline and the frontal portion of his scalp. His surgical hair restoration session with Dr. Wesley included included 2507 grafts incubated in platelet-rich plasma (PRP). In addition to his surgical session, the portion of his mid scalp that did not receive grafts was treated with PRP injection and stimulation with a 0.5mm micro roller. The patient returned to Dr. Wesley's office at 10 months. Early growth from his transplant can be seen and this patient's response to subcutaneous PRP injection is incl
