Hair Transplant Surgeon, Robert M. Bernstein M.D., is Featured in GQ Magazine

GQ Magazine publishes talked about article on hair transplantation entitled “Grow Your Own” written by – Peter Rubin. Article synopsis:

GQ: After fifty years of bad plug jobs, we've come to regard "hair restoration" as synonymous with "Astroturf head." todays hair transplant procedures are worlds away from the butcherings of old. So forget what you thought you knew.

Two methods of hair restoration are in wide usage: min-micrografting and follicular unit transplantation. The methods are similar, to an extent…but FUT co developed by New York hair transplant surgeon, Robert M. Bernstein, M.D., is the more advanced of the two procedures, producing cosmetically superior results.

Dr. Bernstein: Anatomically, follicular unit transplantation is the end of the line. The next step would be hair cloning, which is still quite a way off. The way you get the most amount of hair into the smallest wound—and ensure that it's going to look natural—is by using a follicular unit transplant. We can create swirls, add sideburns…The beauty of follicular transplantation is that the hair will take on the old wave that the original hair had.

GQ: The best part is that FUT regularly achieves an extraordinarily high success rate, meaning nearly every single transplanted graft takes root and grows properly – unheard of fifteen years ago.

Pierce Mattie, a 28-year-old publicist in New York City, had an FUT procedure in May and couldn't be happier. "I've had dental fillings that were more painful," he says. "I was back in the office two days later, and my hair looks like it did when I was in high school. Everyone keeps saying, 'You look so great!'—but they have no idea what I had done."
