This insightful hair loss information was posted on our Hair Restoration Social Community and Discussion Forums: by Dr. Jerry Cooley of Charlotte, NC who is a member of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians.
Grafting into and around existing, native hair will be a requirement for my next hair transplant and I am interested in any such cases (i.e. shock loss/damage to existing hair etc).
Grafting into existing hair requires special techniques including:
1) Taking time to make incisions using high magnification.
2) Tumescent anesthesia.
3) Control over size and depth of incisions..
We still see some thinning hair post-procedure from time to time but it is usually very mild in most cases. Using the ACell may trigger anagen growth in existing hair, so we actually see a little more shedding 3-4 months after the procedure but this is well worth it considering the robust hair growth and thickening of existing hair.
