We are affiliated with two national surgical hair
restoration groups for male & female hair loss.
Normally, hair loss is caused by heredity, hormones and/or
age. Genes target hair follicles that are sensitive to the hormone
dihydrotestosterone, causing them to shrink. This “shrinkage” results in
overall thinning over the entire crown of the head. In rare cases, there are
other reasons for hair loss. Autoimmune disease, the use of certain drugs,
illness and stress may cause hair loss, or promote early pattern baldness.
Severe trauma to the head, accompanied by scarring, can cause permanent damage
to hair follicles. Even tight hairstyles like braids can create tension and
cause hair follicles to become inflamed. The hair follicles are destroyed and
hair growth is terminated.
These are the only options to hair loss:
- Accepting it – perhaps as an inevitable consequence of growing
old. Heredity plays a big role in this.
- Undergoing some sort of scalp treatment – hopefully either a
prescription drug and/or a simple “cosmetic thickener” of the hair,
or an herbal scientific-based product that treats the environment in
which the hair grows.
- A hairpiece – more commonly called a hair replacement “system”.
These products are often described in sophisticated terms as being
very close to the “real thing” – and they can be.
- Hair transplant surgery or scalp surgery, which reduces the bald
area.

 What is Hair Transplant surgery?
The procedure is typically an outpatient procedure done in the
transplant surgeon’s office. Usually, a strip of permanent
hair-bearing tissue (that which is not affected by the balding process)
is removed and divided into small bits of hair-bearing tissue – called
grafts. These grafts – of various sizes and containing one or more
hairs – are implanted into the balding areas, where they are expected to
grow just as they did in their original location. The area where
the strip is taken is sutured closed and will become difficult to
detect, often depending on the skills of the surgeon and the
post-operative behavior of the patient. Scalp Reduction is a
related technique in which bald tissue between permanent hair-bearing
areas is removed followed by suturing the perimeter together.
