Hair transplantation
is an operation that takes hair from the back of the head
and moves it to the area of hair loss. The fringe (back and
sides) of hair on a balding scalp is known as donor dominant
hair which is the hair that will continue to grow throughout
the life of most men. The transplantation of this hair to a
bald area does not change its ability to grow.
Candidates for hair
transplant surgery are those individuals with hair loss that
have sufficient donor hair from the fringe of the scalp to
transplant to the balding area. In the past, many bald
patients were not suitable candidates for hair transplant
surgery but modern techniques have advanced the art of hair
transplant surgery so that many more men and women are
candidates.
Transplant and Restoration Surgery,
like all other plastic surgeries, is an art. It requires
an expert surgeon like Dr. Grant Koher, with over 22 years of
surgical experience and a trained hand to create the most
natural appearing results that are undetectable to even the
most critical eye.
Dr. Grant Koher, a
renowned hair transplant
surgeon, places the strongest possible
emphasis on establishing a solid doctor-patient relationship
right from the start, which will help guide the patient
through the entire
hair
restoration process.
Each patient is treated
as a unique individual. At Jernigan's Hair Replacement
Clinic, we realize that every patient has unique needs and
desires.
Dr. Koher is renowned for
his keen aesthetic sense in
performing hair transplants and his
exceptional surgical skills.
Our
Hair Transplant Philosophy
Our basic philosophic
approach begins with a time-honored idea: “Do one thing and
do it well.”
At Jernigan's Hair
Replacement Clinic, we don’t do face lifts, tummy tucks,
breast implants, or any other such procedures. We
concentrate our energies on performing the
best hair transplantation
possible.
We endeavor to produce a
natural appearing hairline with single, one follicle (called
a follicular unit) graft. We move four to six times as much
hair as the standard approach, using
follicular unit grafts throughout
producing a completely natural result.
More hair per session
means a smaller number of sessions required to produce the
desired result.
The Truth about Hair Transplants
-
WHAT
IS HAIR TRANSPLANTATION?
While there are many
surgical procedures for hair loss, hair transplants are the most
widely accepted.
-
DO HAIR TRANSPLANTS REALLY WORK?
Yes. The
transplanted hair
is removed from one area of the body (donor site) which
has been genetically pre-programmed to produce healthy
hair for a lifetime. Then using magnification,
follicular unit grafts
containing one, two, three or four hairs are
meticulously transferred called “planting” into the
bald or thinning
areas the recipient site.
-
THE PROCEDURE:
Hair transplantation
is considered a “minor” outpatient surgery that takes
from 3–8 hours. Patients are kept pain-free and
comfortable with a gentle oral or IV sedation
medication. Within six to eight months,
hair transplant patients
will begin to realize significant growth.
Skill,
Artistry, Technique and Teamwork
At
Jernigan's Hair Replacement Clinic,
Dr. Koher's outstanding professional staff is thoroughly
trained in the very latest hair transplant techniques.
Regarding what types of
grafts are to be used, we are not “locked in” or programmed
to do
hair transplantation
with only one narrowly defined method, but rather offer to
each patient both the “all follicular-unit” graft method and
the “combination grafting” (70-80% FU’s and 20-30% small
multi-FU grafts) approach.
The decision to take
action against hair loss can be, for some individuals, a
difficult one. By choosing the most qualified
hair restoration expert,
the decision becomes an easier one to make.
However, no surgeon can
achieve this goal alone.
Hair
transplantation, perhaps more that any other
surgical procedure, depends on the assistance of skilled
medical personnel in a ‘team’ framework.
 
Dr. Grant Koher,
hair transplant surgeon and medical director of Jernigan's
Hair Replacement Clinic, uses the most up-to-date hair
restoration medical technology to reestablish a patient's
confidence, self-esteem, and self-image.
Dr. Koher and his
experienced hair transplant staff are committed to using
proven techniques and leading-edge technological advances
for hair loss treatment and, more importantly, to
consistently produce totally natural-looking hair.
