Meet Dr. John Frank!
Dr. John Frank is the Alopecia, Hair Follicle Surgeon and Assistant Clinical Professor of Otolaryngology at Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons and The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. He is also remembered as the former Tight End from 1984-1989 San Francisco Forty Niners.
Dr. John Frank’s Philosophy
He believes each scalp should be treated individually and that no two scalps are alike. He believes that the future of hair loss treatment is customization. Treatments should be designed specifically for each individual.
While performing hair transplants in NYC, Dr. Frank has learned that very few alternatives exist for hair loss prevention and treatment.
Dr. John Frank has been actively researching and searching for alternative hair loss prevention methods and discovered a unique treatment and application of products called Biocapillation™.
Biocapillation™ is a blend of European trichological techniques and Israeli technology and for the past 15 years has serviced thousands of individuals with hair loss worldwide.
In addition to his skill and experience as a hair transplant specialist in New York and Ohio, Dr. Frank is the first person to introduce Biocapillation™ to North America and is excited to find the best solution for you.
