The Woods Technique
Declaration of Patient's Rights
These are the principals upon which The Woods Technique has been built. It is our profound hope that one day, this document will be the standard by which all doctors in the industry abide.
1. No Strip Excision to be performed or offered by the clinic
2. No assistants. Only a 1 to 1 doctor patient ratio
The day a patient decides to alter their appearance via hair transplantation is one of the most important days in their life. They deserve the absolute attention of a skilled micro surgeon throughout the entire removal and placement of every follicle.
3. No unfair legal disclaimer
This allows lawyers to defend the indefensible results of poor surgery.
4. All doctors are to be fully trained, assessed and accredited according to a strict code of conduct, ethics and ability.
All surgery is to be performed according to highly skilled microsurgical standards and discipline.
5. Patient interaction and intra-operative monitoring of follicular placement
6. Largest instrument to be used for follicular placement in normal skin is a 21 gauge hypodermic needle
7. Random intra operative video assessment of follicular removal from the donor site verifying transaction rate directly to the patient
8 Donor Site Conservation and Protection
Avoidance of follicular damage due to incorrect technique, inexperience and production line mentality
9 No intravenous sedation/analgesia
The patient should be aware, lucid, fully informed and interacting during the procedure. Drugs that significantly affect the patients ability to make decisions and interact must not be used.
10. Do No Harm
None of the above are subject to compromise.
