Orlando Hair Loss Clinic

Over the last year their have been changes in the FUE procedure, this has come in the form of new devices that automate the FUE hair restoration procedure.  Neograft, A to Z automated FUE and a few other instruments have enabled doctors to speed up the extraction process, this should lower the cost, if the doctors using the devices make an effort to lower the cost to the hair loss patients.  If the doctors are not spending 8-12 hours performing FUE, than they can lower their fees.  Another change with FUE is that some of the best hair transplant surgeons in the world have been able to evaluate the FUE procedure.  They have come away with some objective opinions about FUE, overall they are not against it, FUE hair restoration is a tool that they can use to give the hair loss patient results.

Dr. Ron Shapiro, who has co-authored what we use as the primary reference in hair replacement surgery has written some of the most objective comments I have seen on the internet.  He does not put down FUE, he just wrote what he has learned through evaluating different methods.

• It can take twice as much donor with FUE to get the same amount of follicular units compared to strip FU.
• To get large numbers of grafts with FUE, you may have to use donor that is not of the best quality.
• You can get scars with FUE, they are round not linear, and will be concealed with hair as short as 1cm, this is the same as an FU hair restoration procedure that is done with Trichophytic donor closure.
• Future sessions are impacted when utilizing FUE.  This can be avoided with FU  procedues because we remove old scars, you can’t do this with FUE.
• If you want to shave your head in the future, FUE would give you the best chance.
• FUE can be used to give you more donor over your lifetime, and you can use body hair.
• FUE can bbe used to fix scars from any source.  We have a program at Orlando Hair Replacement  that treats patients who have scars from accidents and other sources that cost the patient nothing.

Overall FUE can be used alone or in harmony with FU hair restoration procedures to treat the hair loss patient.  The unfortunate fact about FUE is that you will pay twice as much for half the transplanted hair when treating your hair loss.  It comes down to the hair loss patient, In Orlando  you have the choice, if you are a candidate for FUE and you want the procedure we can provide it.  To learn more call 386-216-5429 or email me at rkirk67@gmail.com

In Orlando most hair transplant surgeons charge by the graft.  This is left over from 20 years ago when hair transplant fees were charged by the graft,  back then a graft had up to 30 hairs in it and dcotors would charge 30.00/graft.  With all the advancements in hair transplant surgery, you would think that the industry would also change the fee structure.  When you are doing cases that are as large as 3000 grafts it makes no sense to charge per graft, especially since there is no way for a hair loss patient to count that many grafts.  Every other cosmetic procedure is based on a session price, and hair transplants should be the same way.

If you decide to get your procedure done in Orlando with a surgeon that charges/graft, ask them to guarantee in writing that you will recieve the number of grafts that you have paid for.  Also avoid Orlando clinics that charge you for additional grafts, after your procedure is complete.  The best way to pay for your procdure is by the session, similar to liposuction or a face lift.  When agreeing on a price with the hair transplant doctor, ask him to mark on your consultation sheet the area that will be filled in for the price that you are going to pay.  You can ask for and recieve a range of gafts that it will take to do the job, this will allow you to compare the fee to those doctors who charge by the graft.  Session pricing does benefit the hair loss patient as long as the area to be covered is agreed upon.

Orlando Hair Replacement charges by the session, but lists a per graft price for comparison reasons.  They are also giving patients 350 free grafts with the purchase of a small procedure.  Call 386-216-5429 to learn more.

We all kow that the hair techs that Orlando Hair Restoration surgeons use to assist them are key to getting great results.  Hair loss patient’s in Orlando are blessed to have access to some of the best hair transplant techs in the country.  Ron Kirk, Alicia Laureano, Jenny Murillo, Zilkia Laureano, Marina Diaz, Madalene Colon, and Cynthia Ramos are the top technicians in the field of hair transplantation.  Some of these techs work for Orlando Hair Replacement, while others work for Bosley Medical Group.  The one thing that all of the technicians have in common is that they were initially trained by Ron Kirk in advanced hair transplant technician techniques.

• Slicing the strip into 1mm wide sections, then have each team member dissect, speeds up the process and increases hair growth.
• Use a 3 stage quality control system to check each follicular unit 3 times before it gets transplanted, ensuring the best results.
• When teaching a new hair transplant technician, require them to dissect at least 100k follicular unit grafts prior to being taught how to place the hair grafts.
• Regardless of senority or experience each tech will bes tested every quarter, for quality, efficiency, and new knowledge in the field of hair restoration.

I have had about 4000 grafts transplanted over the last few years and regardless of who the hair transplant surgeon is that will do my case I always choose the techs.  As a regular patient at Bosley Medical you also should choose your techs.  When the doctors and staff at Bosley get their pocedures done you can “bet the farm” that they choose the techs who will be cutting snd placing.  If you are getting a procedure done at Bosley in Orlando demand that these techs work on you;  Marina, Cynthia, Madalene, don’t be satisfied with just one of them on your team, request all 3 or nothing.  When a competitor is recommending another clinics staff you should pay attention.  If you get your procedure done at Orlando Hair Replacement, you don’t have to ask for our experienced techs, they are included in every procedure along with Dr. Katona our Board Cerified Hair Restoration Surgeon. 

When you are making a decision that will last a lifetime, and take 10 years off your appearance, you deserve the best that a hair loss clinic has to offer.

Factors that influence healing post hair transplant surgery are:
