Most prominently, this includes Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), Body Hair Transplant, Plug Redistribution, Plug Removal, Scar Revision, Facial Hair and Eyebrow Restoration, and Body Hair Farming.Dr. John P. Cole attended the Mercer University on an academic scholarship from the United States Army and graduated Summa Cum Laude with degrees in Chemistry and Biology back in 1981. He then received his medical degree in 1985 from the Medical College of Georgia. His postgraduate degree in internal medicine came from the University of Missouri. Dr. Cole has dedicated himself to hair transplant surgery since 1990. His memberships include the American Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ASHRS), American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery (AACS), and International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS).

In 1990 Dr. Cole became a pioneer in total follicular unit hair transplantation and microscopic dissection, focusing on transforming hair restoration surgery from cosmetically unacceptable results into aesthetically pleasing results. In 1998 Dr. Cole became one of the first diplomats of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery (ABHRS) and later served on both the examination committee and board of directors of the ABHRS. Dr. Cole led the Newcomer program of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRR) in 2000 and 2001. In 2002 Dr. Cole chaired the 10th annual meeting of the ISHRS in Chicago, IL. Collectively, Dr. Cole has chaired 13 major international conferences, and Dr. Cole has also been a scientific director for more conferences devoted to FUE than any other physician.

Dr. Cole received his first patent for innovative surgical instruments in 1998 and has acquired six additional patents from the USPTO since then, along with numerous patents-pending devices. In 2003 Dr. Cole pioneered the successful methods of performing follicular unit extraction or FUE hair restoration and began developing the instruments necessary to perform FUE. Dr. Cole also began teaching FUE to other physicians in 2003 and continues to train physicians how to perform FUE. Today FUE is the most popular hair restoration surgery procedure globally, and FUE still depends on the basic principles and mechanisms described by Dr. Cole in 2003. In 2003 Dr. Cole opened the first FUE clinic in Europe and, in 2007, the first FUE clinic in Asia. In 2005 Dr. Cole developed the first complex motion profile device, including oscillation, for FUE. Dr. Cole filed patents on all significant alterations in punch designs for FUE in 2006. Manufacturers continue to copy these designs.

Dr. Cole entered the field of regenerative medicine in 2007. In 2015 Dr. Cole developed a means to lyse platelets to achieve five times the concentration of high molecular weight proteins compared to standard activated PRP with calcium gluconate or thrombin. In 2016 Dr. Cole brought topical finasteride to the United States after success in the clinic he helped establish in Rome, Italy. Dr. Cole is a strong advocate for adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells to treat hair loss.
Dr. Cole remains one of the strongest proponents of FUE and a leader in regenerative medicine for hair loss. Dr. Cole is currently editing the first textbook related to regenerative medicine for hair loss. In addition, he serves as vice president for the Academy of Regenerative Medicine and Surgery Society (AIRMES). He has authored numerous papers and chapters related to regenerative medicine and hair restoration surgery. Dr. Cole currently practices hair transplant in Atlanta, GA, and New York, NY.

    Had an amazing experience with Dr Cole and his wonderful staff. It was my fourth time with Dr. Cole and this time since my donor hair was sparse, I did a beard to scalp transplant involving ~3300 grafts over 3 days along with Alma Ted, CRP and PRF growth factors. Cannot wait to see the results! The care that this office gives its patients is truly unique. Dr Cole is at the absolute cutting edge of hair restoration technology and he is avidly exploring new frontiers. I felt as though I could not have been in better hands. Discomfort was extremely minimal and, in fact, I was able to run and lift weights each day before and after my sessions. There is no doubt that Dr. Cole is THE HAIR GOD! Will post again with before and after pics in about 4 months.

    I highly recommend Dr. Cole and the ForHair Clinic. The procedure was painless and the recovery was no problem (only some swelling which subsided in 5 days). I drove in to town, had the procedure, and was back home the next day. My results have been incredible!

    Just trying to reach out for information is a nightmare. You can't meet the doctor before surgery is scheduled. What a scam. Edit: The response from the business to this comment should be example enough. Comparing a blue collar job that might take 3 minutes, therefore requiring a service call fee to justify the gas and hourly wage of a technician driving to a location, to an optional plastic surgery consultation where your judgment of the facilities sanitation along with the demeanor and expertise of a plastic surgeon, is obtuse at best. Be smarter, and kinder.

    My experience with Dr. Cole exceeded my expectations. I have been losing my hair since about age 28, and I decided to address my hair loss at age 50. My family has severe hair loss (cue balls) so I wanted to wait until I was over age 40 to evaluate whether hair restoration was a possible option for my genetics. My research was simple. I Googled “best hair restoration doctors in the world,” and Dr. Cole consistently came up as top 10 in the world, and he was domestic ( my decision was not want to travel internationally for this procedure ). While researching Dr. Cole I was impressed that he does all the procedures himself and also invented many of the instruments in the hair replacement industry. I found the staff friendly and supportive during my consults (mine were done virtually as it was during COVID). I opted for the CRP plasma treatment along with the procedures for the best chance as success. My first procedure was a little over 4000 grafts, and Dr. Cole focused more on the front half of my head. He told me that he did not do as much in the back-crown as he was hoping I may respond well in the crown area to the topical propecia / minoxidil script he was writing as well as supplements. In the year after the procedure, I did respond , but not as well as expected, so Dr. Cole ordered a a special genetic test to make my script even more precise and I had my second procedure one year later (about 2500 grafts) which filled in the back and some parts of the front hairline. I’m more than happy with the results of this procedure and it has far exceeded what I was expecting from hair replacement. I am now trying more edgy styles like skin fades and plan to grow my hair longer – which is super exciting. I also got back to the gym and lost 25 pounds, so I look and feel like a whole new man. Dr. Cole did warn me to use the suggested supplements and medications to support the hair growth and to decrease any chance of future miniaturization of hair follicles and I am glad that I have followed his plan 100%. I cannot thank Dr Cole enough for taking away the consistent sadness that I experienced about my receding hairline. For me, hair loss made me depressed, and if it makes you sad, just keep in mind that hair transplant is definitely a safe solution for many people that can help you move on in life and feel happy and confident again. I am so satisfied that I found Dr. Cole. His dedication to the art and the science of hair restoration is evident in my results and in my confidence.
