If you're finally sick of looking at your receding hairline in the mirror or accidentally caught a glimpse of your bald spot in a home video, it might be time to think about a hair transplant. There's little reason why in this day and age a man has to live with the consequences of hair loss. Let's face it, women rarely find balding to be an attractive quality. Even if you're married with no intentions of hitting the singles scene, you want to know that you are perceived as potent. The horseshoe look does little to magnify that impression. Here are some tips on restoring your thick locks.
You might want to make your first stop your regular physician. You can discuss the possibilities you have when it comes to restoration. You may have more options than you think. If you are still early on the Norwood chart, you might benefit from prescription and over the counter solutions such as Propecia and Rogaine. If you're further along or haven't had success with those products, your physician may be able to recommend a good place for a hair transplant procedure.
If you were unable to get a referral, try looking yourself for a good hair transplant clinic in the area. Don't depend on advertisements and sponsored before and after photographs to make your decision. No company is going to do anything but put their service in the best possible light. Go deeper. There are several good hair loss forums online. Go to one of them, ask questions and do your research. You'll soon find that not all methods of hair transplant were created equally and not all doctors give their patients the same level of care and attention, nor are they invested with the same amount of skill.
If you're having trouble finding a suitable clinic in your area, you might want to think about expanding your horizons. There are some doctors in the country who produce results that are so amazing, patients fly in from all over just to have their work done by a master of the craft. If you're serious about obtaining a look that will be natural and convincing, you might want to do the same. Of course, not every budget allows for this type of travel and expense. Do what you can on the budget and time allowance you have. But don't settle for the clinic down the street if the reviews say the doctor is a hack. Do what you can to find someone good, even if they aren't the best.
