Senior Member Dr. Michael Beehner Posted October 9, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted October 9, 2013 This 39 year old male 9 months ago had his first hair transplant procedure. He was thin in the back half of his head and virtually bald in the front half. He volunteered for a research study, which required 6 small boxes (see photo in gallery) to be used. We used a "combination" method, which uses both FU grafts and DFU grafts (4-5 hairs each). He received a total of 1729 FU's and 400 DFU grafts for a total of 5931 hairs. The photos are taken only 9 months later. The study that was performed was one comparing FUE graft growth and FUT growth.

Senior Member Dr. Michael Beehner Posted October 10, 2013 Author Senior Member Share Posted October 10, 2013 I'm sorry but I can't at this time. It's only a study of two patients. I think in the next year or two there will be several other studies along the same lines, and I think the real conclusions will come when we can put a bunch of these together. Mike Beehner, MD.

Senior Member TakingThePlunge Posted October 10, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted October 10, 2013 Dr. Beehner, Thank you for sharing this compelling case. The results are perfectly natural and pleasing to the eye. I hope that when the time is right, we will hear more about this research study.
