Senior Member Jotronic Posted November 18, 2002 Senior Member Share Posted November 18, 2002 Well, the bottom line is this. Everyone knows that anyone can put anything on their website. We can quote all the research papers in the world but in the end it won't amount to squat next to true testimonials in a forum environment such as this. If you come to a site like this and ask questions then you need to be prepared for the answers. We have nothing to gain if you listen to us. We are not part of a huge conspiracy to push any agenda. We have the experience of being the patients that have been through excellent procedures, bad procedures and some have been through both. Would you rather listen to someone trying to sell you on their technique or someone that has experienced it? If you can't believe us then who can you believe? I am through with this conversation and good luck with whatever you choose to do.

Senior Member arfy Posted November 18, 2002 Senior Member Share Posted November 18, 2002 Nicolas Cage wears a hair piece in his movies! He was on the Tonight Show about a year ago without a hair piece, and his hair transplant looked TERRIBLE. It was obvious that he had painted his scalp with Dermatch or some other product, when you saw him from the side. His transplant looked thin AND pluggy! Dr. Unger is a dinosaur in this field, he is an old dog who can't seem to learn any new tricks. Read the articles in the Research Library section of THIS website, including the article "The Logic of Follicular Unit Grafting" that prove mathematically, that Minigrafts do not add density, but instead can only lead to donor area depletion and larger gaps between grafts. WW says himself that microscopes can yield 17% more graft yield. (Actually, some people say as much as 25% more graft yield with microscopes). Lets say the average person has only 6000 total grafts available. Wasting 17% of your grafts by NOT using microscopes would mean that ultimately 1,020 of your total possible grafts went into the garbage can, instead of ending up on your head. (Somebody please double-check my math!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Alan Feller Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 This is turning into some thread. Perhaps a "spool" of thread. WW, in the tome you posted above it was mentioned that in dense packing 50 grafts per sq cm the expected hair yield should have been 115 hairs, but was actually found to only be 106 when counted. Remember that the remaining hairs may well be in telogen, and thus resting comofortably beneath the surface waiting for their turn to grow. This highly probable possiblility should not be omitted. Even the non-transplanted scalp cycles it's hair on a regular basis such that a percentage is asleep at any given time. Dr. Feller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
