Hair loss isn’t just about genetics or male pattern baldness. Aging, stress, and environmental factors can also take a toll. Dr. Jason Bloom joins Dr. Bass to discuss solutions for thinning hair, hair loss, and baldness, from everyday treatments like minoxidil to advanced options like hair transplant surgery.
Find out how FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) hair transplant procedures work, along with the pros and cons of each. Plus, Dr. Bloom shares his personal journey with hair transplant surgery to give you a firsthand look at what to expect.
Drs. Bass and Bloom cover:
- The importance of planning ahead before a hair transplant
- Why harvesting a strip of hair from the back during FUE doesn’t mean losing that hair
- How NeoGraft helps achieve natural-looking results
- The maximum number of grafts you can safely transplant at once
- Other transplant areas, including beards, eyebrows, and even scars
- Exciting advancements on the horizon for hair restoration treatments
