Can You Perform Hair Transplant into Scar Tissue?
February 1st, 2005Dr. Bernstein Discusses Hair Transplant Repair in Discovery Channel Interview
November 14th, 2001Excerpt from the interview:
Dr. Bernstein: When I first saw Ken in 1995. He still had the traditional plugs, and I would say on a scale of one to ten, he was maybe a seven, with ten being the worst. We performed a procedure called follicular unit transplantation where hair is transplanted in exactly the way it grows in nature, which are little tiny groups of one to four hairs.
Ken Gold: After the first surgery I was just ecstatic because I was actually able to look at myself in the mirror.
Showing results 11 - 12 of 12 for the tag: Scar Tissue.
