Go Green or Go Bald...

A new study out of the University of London has linked the onset of male pattern baldness to environmental factors.  The study suggests that the carcinogens in polluted air may block a protein necessary for new hair growth.  What this suggests is that even though baldness is a genetically determined issue, living in an environment that is freer of pollutants is also helpful in maintaining that full head of hair we enjoyed as younger men and women.  While it may be difficult to choose your environment because of work or family constraints, it is easy to choose the surgeon on Long Island who can help you to restore that more youthful head of hair; the hair that helped you to approach that certain someone in your favorite drinking establishment or helped you to stand in front of your peers and make the case for your cause.

While living on Long Island is a great choice and the amount of vegetation here is conducive to cleaner air, the genetics of the human being will surely win the fight of “…hair today and gone tomorrow.”  Now enter the newest, most natural solution for hair loss – the individual hair follicle transplantation method.  This relatively new technique ensures natural results without the “dolls head” appearance that marred the results of 10-15 years ago.

The procedure is done under local anesthesia in the office and is with relatively little discomfort post-procedure.  The individual hair follicles are placed in such a way as to reconstruct first the frontal hairline.  The hairline is designed carefully to take into account future hair loss predictions and expectations for permanent hairline stability.  Most will need more than one session and each session is dependent on the amount of hair and density of the hair in the lower scalp – the scalp that will serve as a donor area for replacement hair grafts.
