Our Belief

When we receive hair transplant surgery, we expect the transplanted hair quality to have the same quality as the donor hair, grow at the same speed and last as long as the existing donor hair. 

The human body is so complicated, even with medical science as advance as it is today, we still don’t understand it completely. Something that works today, may be the poison for
tomorrow. It happens so often. Recently, the news reported that red wine increases the chance of breast cancer is a great example. Just two years ago everyone was so excited about its benefit to the cardiovascular system.  We all know our donor hair is limited, but how to take full advantage of it is essential.

Especially for hair transplantation. The study is always based on a very small sample and personal observation. A lot of times even without any study at all. For example,  body hair transplant. When it was brought out by a few doctors , patients jumped on it right away, now we found the result is such a disappointment, it failed miserably( beard might be the exception).
Let alone to mentioned eyelash transplant.  Even the most popular single follicular unit transplantation. A few doctors had some study to compare the growth rate( quantity study) of  chubby and skinny graft, but never have anyone to do quality study (compare the size of transplanted hair). Let alone to compare the result of single and bi follicular units, or the impact of transplanted hair 10 or 20 years later. (except we have one observation )

There is so much uncertainty in this cosmetic surgery. Our approach is to do a lot of research for new techniques and conservatively adapt some of them which has apparent advantage. For example, it took me two years to visit several of the most famous hair transplant physician’s offices  when I started my hair career 18 years ago. I even spent $50,000 USD and one month to fly to Australia to learn scalp reduction from the best doctor for it, but after I learned about it, I never used it for any of  my patients, and I am very happy about it. Time proved that I was right , scalp reduction is not the best for the patients benefit. Recently, I learned about the latest Artas Robotic. I flew to Denver twice to see its operation and visited it's headquarter in Mountain View California. ISHRS has had 19 annual meetings and I attended 17 times. They are the best learning opportunities, not only from the meeting presentation, but also from the personal communication. 

We adopted a lot of new techniques at the same time we gave up a lot of new approaches in the last 18 years. I will discuss it one by one in the near future.
For example almost 99% of hair transplant clinic’s use single follicular units exclusively, but we still insist different people, different situations, need different size grafts. Have you
ever heard any one exclusive surgery alone always the best way to treat certain disease. No, absolutely not.  Why hair transplant is different?

We improve our technique all the time but our method is not necessarily  the most popular or the latest one. 

FUE is a good example, it’s so popular now and we receive many inquiries every week. After serious consideration we decided to put a hold on it, because the quality of grafts are no comparison to ones cut under the microscope direct Vision and  So far not any quality and quantity study was done yet. In addition to it, it’s only advantage is no donor scar, This can also  be achieved with a very simple method. We just don’t believe it is for the best interest of the patient.
