| In New England there are virtually no physicians dedicated to performing truly state of the art hair transplantation. In my opinion, Dr. Ivan Cohen is a stand out exception. Dr. Cohen is dedicated full time to hair transplantation and was among the first surgeons to utilize the microscope in preparing follicular unit grafts. It was obvious after observing him and his staff performing surgery that they have stayed on the cutting edge of the most recent evolutions and refinements in hair transplantation, including recent ultra refined techniques. His experienced staff of seven medical technicians is composed mostly of professional nurses. I was very impressed by their careful, meticulous and refined graft trimming, which was all done using microscopes. Given his large and well trained staff, Dr. Cohen can provide his patients with sessions in excess of 2,500 follicular unit grafts with uncompromising quality. He uses the custom blade cutter to create tiny blades and minimally invasive incisions that are as small as 0.7 mm. He also performs the trichophytic closure to minimize any visible scarring in the donor area. Dr. Cohen also prefers to remove narrow strips that do not exceed 1.5 cm in width. Dr. Cohen has a strong background in dermatology and scalp/hair loss conditions and lectures on hair transplantation and hair loss at the Yale University School of Medicine where he is an associate clinical professor of dermatology. He meets with every patient personally to determine whether they are a candidate for hair transplantation. These consultations are complimentary. Dr. Cohen has an excellent reputation within the medical community and in his region but he is not particularly well known on this online hair transplant community. I did encourage him to share more of his impressive results online. To see examples of his patient results and learn more about Dr. Ivan Cohen, visit his profile/recommendation page on the Hair Transplant Network at http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/Consult-a-Physician/Doctors.asp?DrID=52 During my visit to his office today the surgery of the day was a small hairline session. The patient had low donor density, under 70 follicular units per cm2, so the 1.1 cm wide strip only yielded 919 follicular unit grafts. Dr. Cohen created ultra refined incisions as small as 0.7 mm for the one hair grafts. In my opinion, the incisions were very clean and minimally invasive and the grafts and placing were excellent. However, ideally I think the patient would have benefited from more grafts to achieve greater density from this first surgery. I expect that many of his other patients who have higher donor density do get higher density hair transplants. |
