2500 CIT on class 4 patient - 29 months post-op results - case GC- No Strip Scars

[CIT]

The doctor along with our medical assistants can successfully transplant about 2500 CIT grafts in a day. Not having to worry about a strip (FUT) scar is priceless. You could spend several thousands on a procedure, but you may not need as many grafts as you think. On average, the CIT technique actually produces 2.9 hairs per graft. This amount of hair lowers the amount of grafts needed and makes the pricing of CIT more competitive than you think. Basically, it’s like paying average strip pricing for CIT (non-strip procedure) or FUE (non-strip procedure). The best aspect of the CIT method is that it doesn't result in a linear scar in the donor area (back of the head) and is extremely efficient in donor harvesting (transection rate of 0% to 2%).

Transection is trauma done to any follicle that permanently disables it from growing hair. Many patients are not aware that techniques & physicians can have averaged transection rates. Some FUE clinics will give patients a calculated transection rate before their procedure and even fewer can provide supporting data. For example, when a physician harvests a strip, the initial incisions made by scalpel make it about 99% impossible for there to be no transection of surrounding follicular units. This transection of precious follicles is not publicly discussed or documented. The transection done by a strip physician's medical assistant(s) is usually not accurately documented at most clinics so the patient's follicles fall subject to the assistants' morals and integrity.
