Hair Loss, Thinning, &
Replacement Questions & Answers
Getting hair replacement treatment can be an intimidating process if you don't know what to expect. We want you to be knowledgeable about the procedure, what to expect, how it works, and what you should know before you come in
for hair replacement surgery. The process includes an initial free consultation which will allow you to meet personally with the doctor, see an actual
hair surgery procedure, the hair replacement surgery itself, and then a comprehensive follow-up, both in the days immediately following your surgery, and some time later to
access your progress.
