Procedure detail
While shaving the recipient area does provide some advantages, it is not feasible for many of the patients who come to see me. Most of my patients plan to take 7-10 days off from work with minimal detectability upon return.
This patient is in his mid-40’s and came to us with type V hair loss. We started him on finasteride and performed non-shaven FUT consisting of 4,289 follicular units. We also performed PRP/ACell to strengthen the miniaturizing follicles that were still present on his scalp.
Bald class
Norwood stage 5
Occurs when the connecting bridge of hair disappears leaving a single large bald area on the front and top of the scalp. The hair on the sides of the scalp remains relatively high.
