Hair Restoration

Hair transplant surgery is the most effective and most permanent solution for hereditary hair loss on the market.  Follicular units are transplanted from healthy hair on the side of the head and implanted onto areas experiencing hair loss. Many hair restoration clinics, however, offer hair loss alternatives like Propecia and hair lasers to be used with along side hair transplant surgery.  These hair loss options might not have the results of surgery, but can help make new hair grafts grow in fuller and thicker.
