Our philosophy is quite simple, ?treat all patients as you would like to be treated and achieve the best possible results for every patient?. Our family is the only three generation family in the world doing hair transplantation. Greco Hair Surgery was established in 1960 by my father, Joseph F. Greco, MD, one of the early pioneers in hair transplantation. In 1983, I assisted and learned hair restoration from him and have been involved in hair restoration the past 27 years.

Abstract:

A sub-atmospheric, negative pressure is applied to a growth factor starting material, such as whole blood, to release growth factors and plasma in a non-destructive medium. The released growth factors having a weight of about 70-76 kDaltons are applied in either a filtered or unfiltered state to a wound to promote healing of the wound. The released growth factors are applied topically to the area of a surface wound to effect healing. The released growth factors are also injected into soft tissue, such as a torn tendon, to promote tissue growth and healing. The growth factors are released in one method from a patient's own blood. In another method the growth factors are released from a whole blood source and freeze dried by conventional lyophilization. Then at a later date, the freeze dried product is reconstituted by normal saline for treatment of a patient's wound or for use in a surgical procedure.
