Hair Transplant 360: for Assistants, Volume 2

The content included in this book evaluates the instruments and equipment used for graft preparation, examines technique and strategies, and stresses the factors that can affect graft survival as well as promote graft preservation. This edition also covers new skills like graft extraction, as the follicular unit extraction (FUE) technique has been gaining popularity in the last several years. Furthermore, the book describes proper graft-handling and graft-placing techniques and principles that are vital for achieving good results. The sections on challenges and solutions, critical thinking, and how to identify and learn from one’s mistakes in both graft preparation and placement have been expanded and the section on assistant training updated with new inanimate models. Finally, the book is filled with pearls of wisdom that can help the new or seasoned assistant based on my accumulated 23 years of experience in this industry.
The introduction to the first edition that follows this current introduction is still entirely valid and relevant since the goals and intent have remained the same. Only the vision has been updated and the content significantly expanded. For that reason, I have asked that the publisher retain it for the readership. The book has 8 chapters, 25 videos, and hundreds of full-color, full-sized photographs.
