Hair Loss

Androgenetic alopecia, commonly known as male pattern baldness is the most common form of hair loss affecting both men an women.  Currently there are only two FDA approved medications to treat the condition, and of course surgical intervention.

Only an experienced hair transparent surgeon can help you determine if you are a candidate for hair loss surgery.
