Guys,
I received the following in an email from Dr Woods re: "The Woods Technique". It is extremely interesting so I thought I would share it with you guys.
Sorry for the length.
Thank you for your enquiry regarding The Woods Technique of
Micro-follicular Hair Transplantation.
We are located in Sydney Australia only and there are no other doctors
in the world performing "The Woods Technique". Many of our clients
travel from all over the world to have this procedure and we do not
require biopsy before the procedure. Every person is a candidate as long
as there is hair to donate either from the back of the head, chest or
abdomen.
Our technique uses no scalpel no stitches and no Strip Excision scaring.
There are no nurses or assistants any way involved in your procedure.
Both Dr Woods and Dr Campbell carry out the entire procedure using there
many years of surgical expertise. You are in their expert hands from
start to finish; so you can be assured of the most perfect and natural
result. Our instrumentation is the finest used anywhere in the world
and the entire procedure is carried out using high-powered
magnification.
We have been researching; developing and perfecting our procedure since
1989 and have been featured on Australian National Medical Television
documentaries in 1996 and 2000.
Dr Woods and Dr Campbell have perfected this technique over the past 12
years and have established an impeccable worldwide reputation. It is the
only procedure in the world which is interactive; where the client can
clearly see and be involved in the placement of their new hair. We are
also; to our knowledge; the only clinic worldwide not requiring the
client to sign legal disclaimers or waivers. This is due to the care and
attention given to each and every hair that is placed. As with every
client; at their own wish; we invite them to comment on their experience
with us and their results; in any public or private forum or publication
worldwide.
The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic. You are awake
during the procedure and can observe the placement of your hair with a
mirror in hand or on high definition monitor if you wish. This assures
you that you will receive the result you desire.
The hair we transplant comes from the donor site at the back of the head
and will never fall out. It will continue to grow for the rest of your
life and you will not require any aftercare; lotions or medication to
promote growth. You can cut your hair as short as approx. 2 to 5 mm.
We only use a 21 & 23 gauge; hollow core hypodermic needle to insert the
grafts; (the same as used in a blood test). This creates a slit instead
of the usual hole punch and does not cause any pitting; indentation or
scaring . You cannot tell the difference between the grafted hair and
the existing hair.
The cost varies for each patient and depends on the complexity of the
procedure, the amount of grafts required. The average cost for
Australian residents is approximately $8470.00 per 500 graft procedure
(approx.1; 000 hair). A repeat session can be carried out the next day
and up to 5 sessions can be performed in 7 to 10 days. Because of the
intricacy involved in the procedure it takes all day to complete and is
far more intensive for the doctor than the patient. You are reclining
very comfortably in a specially designed chair and are able to watch TV;
videos or read a book throughout the procedure. You can even use a
laptop computer and talk on a mobile phone. There is no need for
sedation or general anaesthetic.
Please Note: We are currently booked out for procedures until January
2004. Our plans to train doctors in The Woods Technique mean that we
will be overseas for approx. 6 to 12 months sometime toward the later
part of next year. We do have a standby list for those wanting to be
contacted if a space becomes available or those willing to have the
procedure done at short notice. Please indicate if you would like to be
placed on this list.
An accurate price can only be determined upon consultation with Dr
Woods or Dr Campbell or by sending/emailing photos of the area that
requires attention (showing eyebrows up only), the donor site (back of
the head) and/or the chest/abdomen area (if the use of body hair is
required). If posting photos please write your name and phone number on
the back of the photo for easy reference and send them to The Woods
Technique at 35 Stockton Avenue Moorebank, NSW Australia 2170.
Note: If emailing photos please send a maximum of 5 photos in JPEG
format and each photos should be no more than 30kb each and the total
email should be no more than 180kb in size otherwise it will be left on
our server.
Once we receive your photos the doctors will email you with an
evaluation and estimate and then if necessary a telephone consultation
can be arranged by calling The Woods Technique +612 9602 8019. Dr Woods
or Dr Campbell will discuss the procedure with you and give you an
estimate of costs.
If you have any further queries please do not hesitate to contact us.
