Dr Cooley Traction Alopecia female

[Dr. Jerry Cooley]

This young woman had long standing traction alopecia which began several years earlier, related to the use of hair extensions. We performed 911 FU grafts (1-147, 2-653, 3-94, 4-17; 1,803 hairs). She is shown one year later. We used ACell and and liposomal ATP in a post op spray.

Some doctors use the term "stem cell" hair transplants to describe PRP (platelet rich plasma) which does contain small numbers of stem cells. Other doctors are using adipocyte (fat) extracts from liposuction, which also contains stem cells, and implanting these in the scalp. I am not aware of any doctors performing cultured stem cell implants outside of a few research companies.

 

There is great promise in stem cell tecnology, but unfortunately there is the potential for fraud and misprepresentation as well. Any doctor making these claims should be able to explain in detail what they are doing and what evidence they have that it works.

Great transformation. I know the difficulties of dissecting and planting African/American hairs. Nicely done!
