Dr Cole visit – HDC Clinic (2-6 July, 2012)

Hi All,

Dr Cole will visit HDC Clinic in Cyprus during the period of 2-6 July. The objectives are the following:

  1. Dr Cole will offer consultations during this period and it’s a good opportunity for European patients not having to visit the United States.

  2. Put into implementation new Cole instrument tools.

  3. The teams of HDC & Cole will work together in preparation of the new HDC-Cole Clinic to be open in London soon.

  4. Exchange of experience and ideas about plucked hair regrowth which is still in the experimental stage.

  5. Additional practice of the two teams on non shaving FUE.

Warmest Regards
Alex

Still working on plucked hairs? This was discussed and experimented over a year ago already, shouldn’t we know by now whether this plucked hair technique is worth trying or not?

There really were only two physicians that ever stated that they were having any benefits from coating plucked hairs with Acell. One of them is still promoting that application, while the other one has not said much in the past two years. Other physicians have tried Acell on plucked hairs, but no one reported success. Therefore, I would say it was pretty much a failed attempt.

With Acell, we have seen improved hypo pigmentation in our extraction sites along with actual follicle regeneration. The most follicle regeneration we have seen is 64% and the lowest so far was about 25%. This is an on going study. We hope to really accelerate the data over the next year. As you know, it takes one or two years to see a patient come back and this occurs slowly over a span of time. We have quite a few patients that we are still waiting to evaluate.

One of the things that contributes to FUE hypo pigmentation is the loss of circulation and we have seen capillaries actually grow back into the FUE extraction sites with Acell. Also, FUE hypo pigmented extraction sites are smaller in size or diameter with the use of Acell. Even when follicles are regenerated, however, we do still tend to see some hypo pigmentation, but not always. Sometimes the hypo pigmentation disappears. Right now, I don’t know why one site heals so much better than it’s neighbor. I also don’t know why some patients do better than others. Part of the reason may be because I have changed the delivery method several times over the past 3 years. we have also more recently increased the concentration of Acell and added a “top shot” of Acell at the end of the procedure.

The main thing is that we are seeing some advantages when we use Acell. We still need to fine tune the process.

Actual follicle regeneration, this is huge, please don’t forget to take good pics etc. Are hypo pigmentation and follicle regeneration related? I mean did you see both improvement in pigmentation and follicle regeneration occur hand in hand?

Personally I don’t care much about pigmentation, if you can regenerate the donor that alone is good enough for me.

Doctor:

I hate to sound like a crackpot greenie or something–but could the lack of Omega 3’s in the diet of most, but not all, Americans account for the patients who don’t respond as well?

Or for that matter, other poor dietary or lifestyle habits (e.g., eating refined sugar or smoking/drinking alcohol or low levels of Vitamins D or B’s)?

Hey Dr. Cole,

Do you have any thoughts on what is going on over in the HST forum? There seems to be pretty conclusive proof that a patient has gotten donor regeneration from Dr. Gho’s hair stemcell procedure and his recipient looks like it got great yield too. We really need Dr.'s like you with a history of great results to push the envelope on new technology to make it available to people here in the USA. At this point Dr. Gho’s method seems to be the most cutting edge procedure available. Do you have any interest in learning Dr. Gho’s method and/or offering it in your practice. Thanks!

Hey Brock, can you post the link with the convincing evidence? Sorry, I don’t go to that forum often, don’t know where to search.

thanks

You don’t need a doctor to answer that, just stay away from sugar, smoking and drinking period. They can only do harm to your body.

I didn’t ask if such were unhealthy and whether I should change my dietary habits.

Rather, I asked if the trialists knew and practiced good eating.

Ahhhh guys i dont wanna interrupt this whole Diet party here but did anyone actually pay attention to what Dr Cole said about Donor regeneration?

This backs up Gho and iam thankfull that Dr Cole really had the balls to stick up and say something about donor regeneration even knowing that right now Mister Bollywood Award winner and other docs will be all over him.

I hope that Cole can come up with something in the regions of Gho on a constant base because then i know where to book my transplants.

Keep this up Dr Cole you ill never run out of patients (happy patients) and just do yourself a favor train your docs to do exactly the same and get in touch with Gho and Ferudini, this would be a fun ride

Maybe it depends on what stage of the hair cycling process the follicles are in.

Maybe it depends on what stage of the hair cycling process the follicles are in when they are harvested.

Kind of like trying to get a woman pregnant on a given day, without knowing what stage of the menstrual cycle she’s in on that day.

How does this backup Gho’s claim? Gho regenerates the donor with his HST technique, Cole uses Acell, two totally different things!!!

BECAUSE THERE ARE MANY IDIOT CLINICS OUT THERE WHO SAY THAT DONOR REGENERATION IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE AT ALL

Ask bverotti he is an “expert” on this field of non existing donor regeneration
