Procedures
performed fall into two basic categories
each comprising nearly 50% of our work.
The first is hair transplant surgery for
new patients. The second is corrective surgery
for patients of other physicians or those
who used previous methods and were not satisfied
with the results. A small amount of our
work consists of reconstructive surgery
of the eyebrows and face where damage may
have occurred due to various reasons.
OUR
BASIC SPECIALITIES INCLUDE
Restoring Natural Hair for Men and
Women
Corrective Surgeries For Improper
Transplants Performed Elsewhere
Corrective Surgeries For Restoring
Post-facial Surgery, Sideburns, Frontal
Hairline and Eyebrows
Follicular Extraction technique for
Smaller surgeries
Corrective Surgery For Trauma And
Burn Patients
Single Hair Feathering Technique For
Thinning Hair
Surgery For Eyelashes
All our procedures are done with Coronal
Angle Grafting "CAG"
For
most men who are losing their hair before
they'd like to, the answer is genetic. Hair
loss, like eye color, is an inherited trait.
While you were still forming in the womb,
your hair follicles were being genetically
coded.
If genes responsible for hair loss were
present, they
made the hair follicles on top of your head
sensitive to the hormone dihydrotestosterone,
or DHT. These follicles were then predisposed
to begin shrinking.

When you reached adulthood. Unfortunately,
once this genetic process begins, it will
continue throughout your lifetime.
As
the hairs produced by your ever-shrinking
follicles become finer and finer, they will
begin failing to grow to normal length.
And what is first noticed as "thinning
hair" or a "receding hairline"
progresses to baldness when the shrinking
follicles finally stop producing any hair
at all.
POPULAR
MISCONCEPTIONS
For
many years our schools have taught
quite erroneously that hair loss is
always inherited from the mother's father.
Medical science now knows that baldness genes
are passed down from both sides of the family.
They also can skip generations, and are utterly
random in terms of which siblings they will
affect; it is quite common for a man keep
a full head of hair while his brother goes
bald in his twenties.

HOW IMPORTANT IS HAIR CARE?
Contrary
to common belief, hair loss is not caused
by a failure to take good care of your hair.
Consumers waste millions of dollars on shampoos
and phony, non-FDA approved treatments.
(Only two medications, Rogaine and Propecia,
have ever been approved by the FDA to treat
hair loss.) We have counseled too many men
who held themselves responsible for their
hair loss. It is important to understand
that with very few exceptions our hair follicles
are going to live or die by their genetic
coding and nothing else.
Medical
science is still searching for a complete
understanding of the biochemical processes
that occur within our hair follicles. Click
