Treating hair loss is a journey that needs to be mapped out carefully. I tell my patients that hair transplants are not the silver bullet in treating androgenetic alopecia (which is a hair loss aging process). Androgenetic alopecia and hair transplants are limited by the patient’s hair supply and demand.

2. How long has the physician been performing hair transplants?
3. Does the physician actually perform the entire ...

Hair loss sufferers spend more than a billion of dollars a year trying to treat their hair loss. Unfortunately, 99% of all products being marketed in the unethical hair loss treatment industry are completely ineffective for the majority of people who use them.
