Comparative look at small punch sizes... Hairtech

My doctor said it was a moot point to argue any longer because there were too many false statements in Jessica’s reply. I agreed but then I read it and said to myself, " Someone might believe these statements because it is coming from Jessica… and since this forum is to relay the truth I could not sleep at night knowing these issues were not addressed and a patient might be mis-directed." I have to comment and I have to comment like hairtech… blunt and real… sorry doc.

.1 If the yield from FUE is 2.3, the patient might as well opt for a strip surgery with a good closure. Dr. Cole and Dr. Mwamba average a little over 2.7 hairs per unit, and many cases yield over 3.0.

Are the punches greater than 1.0mm? Please answer? I am asking a question.

  1. Whenever a follicular unit is removed, the circulation in that area is decreased because it is not needed any more. It is also the follicular unit that produces melanin or pigment to the skin. When the hair is gone, there is no pigment to the area. This will happen regardless of punch size.

This is absolutely a false concept in science. This is a completely wrong depiction of science and specifically anatomy and physiology. The hypopigmentation is SCAR TISSUE… deposited to fill a void. Follicular “UNITS” themselves do not produce melanin.

Regardless of punch size is correct. The larger the punch, the larger the hypopigmentation… period.

  1. As surgeons gain experience with FUE, they are likely to come to the conclusion that there is not much, if any difference in the healing of a .75mm and a 1.0mm extraction site.

Such a wrong and misleading statement. Why? First you have to punch grafts between 0.75 and 1.0mm. I have to ask this question… What are your punch sizes at the clinic you represent Jessica?

  1. Some clinics market the .75 punch to attract business in the absence of proven results.

Do I have to comment on this or am I a moron? hhhmmm Woods, Bisanga, Harris…

  1. Dr. Cole was the first to use and describe the .75 punch in 2003. He has since noted its pros and cons and improved upon the technology.

A complete fabrication of the truth. Jessica you weren’t even working there in 2003. I was working there in 2003. Please ask me this question. I promise I will tell you the truth.

  1. He still uses a modified version of the .75 when the situation calls for it. Dr. Cole has a variety of punches to choose from with 32 different options that can be adjusted in an endless number of ways. Dr. Cole keeps his punches as a closely guarded secret, even from his surgical staff. He uses code names for everything and only discusses the punches on a need-to-know basis with his engineers and employees of higher ethics.

Modified version? secrets? Codes? Need to know basis… How about patients needing to know on all basis?

  1. Other clinics have had since 2003 to use the .75 punch, make it work, and produce the results. But where are the results?

Hey Jess… They are posted all over the internet… and you guys/gals know this. Damn why??? this is killing me.

  1. Like I said before, Dr. Harris is a reasonable person, and he has also noticed the limitations of the .75 punch.

Dr. Harris should not have to read such dis-respecful comments from a tech that has been in the field for less than 2 years… has a one track mind with zero experience other than the clinic she is representing and is obviously mis-representing the doctor she works for or is being told what to say. It is baffling me why you would state things that are really mis-leading… in my opinion.:smiley:

  1. I THOUGHT DR. COLE PERFORMED F.I.T.??? YOU HAVE NOT EVEN STATED THE TERM IN ANY OF YOUR ARGUEMENTS? WHAT IS GOING ON?

I dont know why the docs allow techs to post anyway, I sure wouldnt

unless the techs are really the docs in disguise

Some of them are very knowledgeable and have some interesting points to be debated. I have to admit, the issue pasted below had me concerned since I recently had BHT from my chest area and am quite pleased since I can see virtually no “white dots”. The claim that the pigmentation is lost had me worried since I haven’t really experienced serious sun exposure yet. I was assured by others that nothing notable shows when exposed to the sun, but then again everyone is different. I hope, for my sake, Hairtech is right on this one.

  1. Whenever a follicular unit is removed, the circulation in that area is decreased because it is not needed any more. It is also the follicular unit that produces melanin or pigment to the skin. When the hair is gone, there is no pigment to the area. This will happen regardless of punch size.

This is absolutely a false concept in science. This is a completely wrong depiction of science and specifically anatomy and physiology. The hypopigmentation is SCAR TISSUE… deposited to fill a void. Follicular “UNITS” themselves do not produce melanin.

Regardless of punch size is correct. The larger the punch, the larger the hypopigmentation… period.
