Medication First: Patients Who Waited Before Surgery

Janice P., Age 69: Two Years of Nonsurgical Treatment, Then 450 Grafts

Janice P. spent years worrying about her thinning hair before a friend referred her to Dr. Cohen. Dr. Cohen had her try Rogaine (minoxidil) and then Nutrafol, a hair supplement, to see whether they could get results without surgery. Two years passed before Janice raised the subject of surgery herself. She had her transplant at age 69 and received 450 grafts, which are small groups of hair follicles.

Your physician may recommend medical therapy before surgery, especially for early thinning.

“What I appreciated most was that Dr. Cohen never pressured me to have surgery. He waited two years, and I was the one who brought it up.”

Repeat Procedures: Patients Who Returned Years Later

Jeff N.: A Bald Spot Filled at 50, the Front Restored at 64

At age 50, Jeff N. came to Dr. Cohen with a three-inch bald spot on top of his head. Dr. Cohen restored the hair to the area, and Jeff enjoyed the results of that procedure for the next 15 years. At 64, he returned for a second procedure to address hair loss at the front of his scalp.

Hair loss can continue after a transplant, so some patients need more than one procedure over time. Your physician considers how your hair may look in 5 or 10 years before planning your first session.

“I have been thrilled for the past 15 years with the results.”

Jeff N.

Two patients share why they returned to Dr. Cohen for their second procedure.

“I have gone through 2 transplant procedures with Dr. Cohen and each time I was thrilled beyond belief!!!”

Michele B.

“I had 2 hair transplant procedures with Dr. Cohen. He is very patient, thorough, personable, and does excellent work.”

Age 70: First-Time Patients Who Started Hair Restoration Later in Life

Peter D.: A First Procedure at Age 70

Peter D. began to explore hair restoration when his hair started to thin at age 70. He researched doctors across Connecticut and booked a consultation at our Fairfield office. His procedure lasted over four hours, and he praised the care our staff gave him throughout the surgery. Peter saw impressive results at six months and even better ones at eight months.

“After six months, the outcome was great. After eight months, even better.”
