John Frank, MD is a hair restoration practice in Gahanna, Ohio, with locations noted in Columbus and New York City. It performs Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT), in which a strip of hair-bearing scalp is removed from the back and sides, the wound is closed, and individual grafts are dissected from the strip under microscopes before placement into fine slits made across the mapped areas of hair loss; the average case size is 2300 grafts and a procedure takes several hours. It also performs Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), in which grafts are removed one at a time with a specialized harvesting instrument, leaving no donor scar, and implanted in the same way. Both procedures use local anesthesia, with mild oral sedation for FUE, and are carried out onsite; patients care for the grafts for the first 48 hours and full results may take 12 months or longer. Additional techniques include hairline lowering, primarily for women, and alopecia reduction surgery. Consultations precede treatment, and costs vary from person to person.
