In practice since 1989, Dr. Lawrence J. Shapiro has performed over 10,000 micro-mini graft/follicular unit hair restoration surgery procedures. As a dermatologist (the treatment of skin, hair, and nails) he specializes exclusively in hair transplants surgery. He was the first to do a "strip incision" and the first doctor in the Southern U.S. to specialize in "micro-mini grafts" developing this treatment to a state of the art procedure.

Dr. Shapiro has a highly trained and experienced medical staff, many of whom have been with him since the beginning. They specialize exclusively in assisting in hair replacement surgery. This knowledgeable and caring team is here to support you through the entire process.

Hair restoration surgery relies on the genetics of hair growth. For most people, a sizable portion of hair never falls out; it is genetically encoded to grow throughout life. It is this permanently growing hair that serves as a "donor" region for hair restoration surgery.

Americans are besieged daily with hair loss treatment ads using misleading advertising. If you are genetically prone to hair loss and balding, FDA-proven hair loss treatments MAY help slow the process IF they are used early and often. However, hair loss treatments are still not permanent solutions to your hair loss problem and can become very expensive over time with possible side effects.

If you have already had hairline loss, hair transplants are the only option for restoring natural hairlines. Because "donor hair" is already genetically resistant to the male/female-pattern balding, it can be used for the restoration of natural hairlines which are also genetically resistant to balding.
