Confusion about Mini, Micro, Follicular Units |
| Question: |
I have a great deal of confusion about Mini, Micro grafts and Follicular
Unit hair transplants. Also I checked NHI web site to get more familiarity
with
FUT but I am still confused about Mini, Micro and FUT.
Also do you believe that for person having mostly 1 or 2 hair groups
it matters to have Follicular Unit hair transplants done ? Cause any way he does
not have more in his units but just one or two!!
Also do you provide any guarantee that if transplanted hair does not grow, you
would replace it ?
Finally, down the line development in hair cloning will ensure ample supply
of donor hair, but that would still require operation and punching.
Isn't some one working on changing the stupid behavior of genes to
stop being sensitive to DHT. DHT helps in sexuality of male then suppressing
it for bunch of hair is like reducing sexuality for some hair. Scientist
should devote more time in solving simple issues like hair loss fist
then focusing on cloning babies. We need to have stupid hair loss
blocked first than having duplicate babies and going on to Mars, cause
this is basic thing to start with. Do you disagree ?????

Please refer to the article: Dermatologic Surgery 1998; 24: 957-963 “Standardizing the Classification and Description
of Follicular Unit Transplantation and Mini-Micrografting Techniques.” It can be found on our web site newhair.com in the section NHI Medical Publication and will clarify many of your questions.
Even for patients with low density using only follicular units will give the best results. With low density, combining units that are spaced apart puts way too much skin in each graft. Remember, larger grafts do not give anyone more hair. It is just easier for the doctor to do.
I guarantee that I will perform the same high standard of care for every patient. In medicine, specific results cannot be guaranteed, but of course, we do everything possible to give the patient the best results and to be sure that they get what they pay for.
Of course genetic engineering (a prevention) is preferable over cloning (a treatment), but treatments are usually easier to accomplish. Attempting one does not preclude you from working on the other. I suspect that cloning will come first with prevention of hair loss in the more distant future.
Sincerely,
Drs. Bernstein and Badamo
