Why it's so preferable than other methods?  

There is no reason why about 40 million American men should have to deal with the psychological impact associated with hair loss. With the modern techniques of mini/micro-grafting in the hair transplant industry, combined with the artistic ability and expertise, excellent results can be accomplished. Male pattern baldness is the most common type of non-scarring hair loss in men. It affects the superior portion of the scalp and results from a genetically determined sensitivity to androgens (the male hormone).

It is often referred to as simple baldness, male pattern alopecia, hereditary alopecia, male androgenic or androgenetic alopecia. Other types of hair loss in men may be a result of an underlying medical condition or due to medication, among other reasons. Most of these cases may be a temporary, reversible condition once treated. Hair transplantation offers a permanent solution with very little risk involved. Even though it may be somewhat costly, it is a cost effective expenditure when fees are amortized over one's lifetime.

Other forms of hair replacement surgery (such as flaps or scalp reductions) are higher risk procedures, which may require general anesthesia, and are only indicated in certain pre-selected cases, and could be quite costly. Other types of medical treatments have been tried. They only offer a less than acceptable, temporary solution and in certain areas of the scalp. Minoxidil (Rogaine), a topical solution which must be applied to the scalp for the rest of one's life; and Finasteride (Propecia), an oral medication just recently approved by the FDA, with limited results and some side effects, are the two drugs in question. In either case whatever little hair growth occurred will soon fall out once they are no longer used. They may be used in conjunction with hair transplantation.

Tell us about classification of male pattern baldness (MPB)

Experienced physicians recognize many stages of baldness and can usually predict which stage you will experience. The most accurate system of baldness classification was developed in 1942 and is still widely used today. The illustrations that follow outline the twelve types of baldness as identified. It is recommended that you examine the chart to select the stage of MPB you now experience.

What should I do next?

Schedule a complimentary appointment to evaluate your hair loss. This will require only 30 to 45 minutes of your time, depending on how many questions you may have.

During this private, confidential, consultation you will meet with your doctors. He will review your medical history and examine your scalp to determine your potential success as a hair transplant candidate, and rule out any underlying medical condition that may be responsible for your hair loss.

Once that has been determined, he will recommend the extent of the grafts, and number of procedures necessary to attain density and coverage in the treated area.

Each step of the process will be explained in full detail, as well as other treatment options, and the minor risks involved with the procedure.

At this time fees will be discussed. The fees vary for each patient and are predicted on the work to be done, type of procedure, number of sessions recommended and number of grafts.
