Hair Loss

Hair loss affects approximately one-third of all men with varying degrees of male pattern baldness. Women also suffer from hair loss but it is more of a diffuse thinning. There are a variety of other causes of hair loss including: trauma, hormones, illness, inadequate diet, unusual immune related skin conditions and thyroid disease. Not surprisingly, a number of remedies have been used for centuries in efforts to restore and maintain hair.

Hair Transplantation

This is a procedure where hair is taken from the back of the scalp and redistributed over the areas of hair loss. The procedure has a near total success rate. Smaller, more numerous grafts are used to achieve a more natural appearance. You are much less likely to notice transplants.

Scalp Reduction

Scalp reduction is designed to remove hairless scalp from the back and sides of a balding area. This procedure is done in a variety of patterns depending on the patient's situation.

Flap Surgery

Flap procedures have the advantage of giving a nearly instantaneous hairline. With flaps, there is usually not significant hair loss in the transferred tissue, allowing for immediate and remarkable results.

Flap surgery is something to consider for patients who desire a strong, thick anterior hairline. This surgery is done in stages over a three-week time frame. It requires two procedures under local anesthesia and one procedure under general anesthesia.
