Losing Hair? Need Help? Receive a Los Angeles Hair Restoration Consultation

Dec. 1, 2009 - PRLog -- A study on hair loss has shown that the average time between first noticing hair loss and seeking hair loss treatment is six years. This is understandable since hair loss is normally a gradual process. There is always the denial stage, then the stage where patients hope their hair loss will stop or, better yet, reverse itself and their hair will come back. However, when looking at the history of hairloss within your family and the hair loss patterns of parents and close relatives, the inevitable is difficult to face. As with any condition, the sooner hair restoration treatment is commenced , the better the outcome. Many patients undergoing hair restoration surgery are becoming younger and younger each year. Starting hair loss treatment early is beneficial for the patient for a variety of reasons. Doing something about your hair loss early means less years of concern over watching your hair disappear down the drain. Hair restored through hair transplantation stays in place permanently, and the sooner it is replaced the more years you have to enjoy it and the better the return on your investment.

Therefore, it is best to schedule a consultation with an experienced hair surgeon to determine which treatment and procedure is best for you. The procedures used by Dr. Umar at the Derm Hair Clinic in Los Angeles are called the Single Follicle Extraction and Transfer, or SFET (a form of FUE) and Body Hair Transplant (BHT). They are minimally invasive procedures that are performed under complete patient comfort. The whole process is done under local anesthesia and most patients are awake typically watching a movie of their choice during the procedure. Patients are able to take breaks during the process. Lunch is served in the clinic patio setting with a calming view of the Pacific Ocean. Typically a mild sedative is taken orally at the start of the procedure. Pain is minimal both during and after the process. The procedure is done with the patient lying or sitting on our custom made, highly versatile operating table. Many have been taken a back by the degree of comfort in this operating table. After the procedure, most patients would not require even ordinary over the counter pain killers.

If you are interested in learning more about Dr. Umar and the procedures, please contact the Derm Hair Clinic in Los Angeles. A consultation can be done online via email (free), or through an in-office visit (dermatologist fee of $50).
