    Lightbulb #BAM#Before&AfterMondays Improving Density w/Beard FUE (Total 4995 grafts):Dr. Wesley

    This 44-year-old man underwent two FUT sessions and a beard FUE follicular unit extraction (FUE) session with Dr. Carlos K. Wesley in which a total of 4995 grafts were placed.

    His hair follicles were incubated in autologous (his own) platelet rich plasma (PRP) throughout the duration of the procedure. This, combined with an ATP-containing storage solution has been shown to enhance survival of transplanted hairs.

    Rather than a larger FUE punch used by a robotic approach, Dr. Wesley used a smaller caliber hand-held motorized punch to performed the donor harvest. This approach better enabled the capture of donor hair roots that are slightly curved beneath the skin surface. Upon completion of the harvest, the patient’s donor area was treated with PRP and ACell in order to not only minimize scar tissue formation, but also encourage partial regeneration of donor hair follicles.

    The patient returned two years after his procedure and images of the patient can be seen below.
