>> relaxes by watching a movie
DR.
COLLINS >> We distract the patient by
getting to watch dvds or movies
and this distraction means that we have to get less medication to sedate them.
Single hair follicles all day long is lying here
and then in behind this we have the two hair follicles in the threes and in the fourth
here
VOICE OVER >> once the innestion have been made the
team works in rotation to insert the
follicle graphs to suit the natural light of the hair
it's work that requires skill and the kind of patience but comes only with
dedication.
Some graphs will go in standard some will go in straight, the orientation the
way each graph is placed in the scalp is of great importance
DR COLLINS >> If you have two hairs represented
by my two fingers
you only really see
one hair when you'r looking at it
but if you orientate like that
you see two hairs and like that
you can see three hairs
whereas in this situation you only see one hair
so by orientated the graphs in a particular direction
you get a tremendous feeling of fullness and density
and you maximize this for the patient
VOICE OVER >> Shate Dempsy hasn't been upset about his
hair loss
as a hairdresser
he wants transplants just to have a little of his own hair to play around
with.
However for some men hair loss is very heartfull.
DR COLLINS >> The fifty percent of men
by the age of fifty have a significant hair loss and thankfully the vast majority
of men are not in anyway disturbed
by their appearance when they happen hair loss
and that is fine but I'm not sitting out
to transplant every bald or thinny man in Ireland
but there are a number of people where their self-image is injured by the hair loss
that they have
and they want a proper surgery carried out
voice over>> As an hair nose and throat surgeon Maurice
Collins was well practiced in micro
surgery
when he decided to apply his skills to follicular unit hair transplants
five years ago
he so need for top quality hair transplant surgery in this country
whoever he believes that the procedure is not right for everyone in every
circumstance
DR COLLINS >> there are some patients who I won't operate on.
A young man under the age of twenty five in my opinion
should not be operated on the hair loss is not yet
established
in the majority of cases
and I do not think they should be operated at all.
If they go to commercial clinics and come into pressure from salesman they
try
to sell them a transplant I think it's absolutely wrong that a salesman should sell a hair transplant
twenty four-year-old,
it's immoral.
VOICE OVER >> There are many public illustrations of heads
before and after Follicular Unit Transplant surgery.
The results can be
very very good
however not of hair transplanted providers achieve the same results.
Maurice Collins sees many clients who come to him to improve on work done elsewhere
DR COLLINS >> These large plunks here are very very
unnatural looking
and they take away from the persons appearance
There's no attempt for the hair applied before they'r just coming straight and spinning streigh
out of the scalp.
Unnatural
very unnatural but in a lot of clinics
in those days this was the state of the art but no longer.
This is somebody who had a
micrograph operation carried out
and he's meant to have thousand of graphs putting over thousand of graphs put into this
you can see that is not thousand in there just
five on the streets between one fifty
and two hundred
I honestly think this
is really unacceptable.
VOICE OVER>> Maurice Collins also treats female patients for hair loss
including one patient scarred by a burn DR COLLINS >> This is scar tissue which behaves
differently to
normal skin
and we're going to put some hair graphs into this
and left them over six month period.
If they grow very well
and naturally
than we'll transplant all this area here.
She's plenty of donar hair so she should do extremely well
VOICE OVER >> meanwhile work continues on Shade head
In this session he receive over one thousand three hundred graphs
containing some four thousand hairs from his own head.
The session will cost six thousand euro on top of the three thousand that he
paid for his first session some months ago.
For Shade it's worth every cent and he even enjoyed the day.
SHADES >> I have got three children so there was any plans
so it's quite nice
to watch a movie in peace
was really enjoyable
[É]
...
PRESENTER >> Well that's Darren Shades five months ago.
We've came into this salon now to catch up with him
and with Maurice Collins
and Shades you've great head hair!
SHADES >> Yeah, I can really see results now
five months on, you know I can feel new hair to grow in the
airline again I can actually see a hairline stating to appear which is great
PRESENTER >> I was wondering as I was watching the film
Would you be worried that it might fall out?
SHADES >> No, no because again you know from talking to Maurice it's a repositioning of
the
hair
they have taken in a donor area from the back and they have just put it in the front section
and do
it should grow fine
PRESENTER >> And Maurice, it grows very well
DR.
COLLINS >> Yes it does Shades
had pointed hairs of the back of the
head is genetically different
to hair that he was losing
and from remove it from the back to the front is going to stay there permantently for the
rest of his life.
Nobody notice that they've had a transplant
but people do say they are looking more useful.
I have one man who people told me
that he had a facelift he looks so good.
PRESENTER >> And how young clients comes to you Maurice?
DR.
COLLINS >> All ages groups
I have a boy
aged nineteen and I have to manage seventy-four whose who's interested in
having his hair treated, I think it's a wonderful attitude to have at that age
And do you have a nineteen years old to have hair transplant?
DR COLLINS >> No, noÉ and I don't like transplanting somebody until
the age of twenty five
but there are medical treatments we can give to young people which help
tremendously
they still have their hair and they are losing
and successful greatly so
by giving a medication to take which can reverse the hair loss
PRESENTER >> And would you always recommend
for somebody who find himself in that position to go to a doctor
DR.
COLLINS >> I don't like concept somebody with
cosmetic problem going to a commercial clinic and meet a salesperson.
If you have seen what your ears would be shaped your nose would be shaped you go to a doctor
to find some plastic surgeon
and I don't see why people who have a problem with their hair should go to salesmen
I think it's
totally wrong.
