In Dr. John E. Frank's own words

How Dr. John E. Frank describes their own approach, from their Instagram posts. Each statement links to the original.

Approach

  • Dr. John Frank combines medical expertise with an artistic approach

Specialization

  • Specializes in FUE hair transplants

Training & credentials

  • Actually, when I had my hair transplant done, I got in a taxi to go home and I bumped my head on the door frame. My grafts started bleeding. I had to come back into the office, take a forceps, and I think I did it myself and I had to put some of the grafts back in

Recovery guidance

  • You can work out. Go ahead. Just don't bump your head. A little workout, even a little dip in the saltwater ocean is not the worst thing in the world. Just don't bump or scratch your head
  • If you don't, comb your hair for a couple of days and we'll go over a lot of things with you as far as the maintenance

In most cases, an eyebrow transplant offers a natural and permanent solution for sparse eyebrows.
Source →
How does Red Light Therapy (Low-Level Laser Therapy) work for hair restoration?
Red Light Therapy (or Low-Level Laser Therapy) functions at a cellular level to stimulate blood flow, nourish dormant hair follicles, and promote thicker, healthier hair growth.
Source →
Can Red Light Therapy for hair restoration be done at home?
Yes, the benefits of Red Light Therapy can be obtained at home using convenient, medical-grade solutions like the Laser Cap. Patients can simply wear the cap while relaxing, working, or watching TV, allowing the low-level lasers to perform the primary work for hair restoration.
Source →
