Hair Transplantation
Serving Oakland, El Cerrito, Berkeley and Emeryville, California
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, there are as many as 50 million American men who are bald or have thinning hairlines. If you are one of these 50 million men, you know how it can affect your self-esteem, especially when poll after poll shows that those with hair are more attractive to women. Polls have even shown that employers are more likely to hire a man with hair than his bald competitor.
Hair transplantation has been around since the 1950s, but the technology, techniques, and knowledge about male pattern baldness has improved by leaps and bounds since then. More hair can be transplanted or restored in a shorter amount of time with better results these days.
El Cerrito and Oakland, California area cosmetic surgeon Dr. Gabriel Patino at the Cosmetic Surgical Center of El Cerrito has been successfully performing hair transplant procedures since 1997.
Causes of Hair Loss
Hair loss can affect men and women for various reasons. While it is common to lose some hair every day, excessive hair loss can be concerning – especially if it isn’t growing back. If you have lost hair after an illness or major surgery, this is due to stress and your hair will most likely grow back. Other causes include:
- Pattern baldness
- Certain medications
- Poor nutrition
- Infections
- Some hair treatments
Dr. Patino and his experienced technicians understand that restoring your hair is important to you. Using grafts, or hair follicles, this labor-intensive procedure has improved the aesthetic goals of thousands of patients.
