John P. Cole, MD is one of the worlds pioneering surgeons that performs hair transplant surgery using a follicular Unit Extraction technique called CIT® (The Cole Isolation Technique). Using this method along with the surgical instruments which he has invented for this technique, allows him to perform this procedure leaving no visible scarring to the naked eye.

He was one of the first 30 physicians certified by the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery (ABHRS). He also served on the board of directors and the examination committee of the ABHRS. He began innovating instruments and methods in FUE in 2002. FUE became 90% of his practice by 2003 primarily out of patient demand. He has developed many instruments and methods for the extraction of individual follicular units including 4 automated devices, which all function differently and utilize a variety of energy sources. He has trained many physicians whose practice is dedicated predominantly to FUE. Hobbies include golf, tennis, salt-water fishing, and survival camping.
