As technology continues to progress in the world of hair restoration, new and innovative methods for treating hair loss are showing lots of promise. The techniques used in hair transplant procedures, the topical and oral medications, and the introduction of light as a way to stimulate hair growth have continued to push the limits of what we, as doctors, can do to help restore your hair to a healthier level.
One of the most important things you can do when choosing a doctor is make sure that you feel that person has your best interests in mind.

Summer is coming to an end and school is starting for a lot of kids across the country. And while school may look different for a lot of people this year, it’s still important to make sure that your hair looks good for that first day of classes.

While the COVID pandemic continues to force all of us to make changes in our daily lives, one thing that some people can’t control is going to the doctor.

In most cases, yes, it is safe to visit your doctor during the COVID pandemic. Most offices have been taking strict precautions when it comes to seeing patients, and depending on the type of doctor you’re seeing, they’ve probably been limiting patients that show any symptoms related to COVID. But even with those precautions in place, some people may not feel comfortable visiting the doctor’s office.

Commonly associated with facial hair and shaving, this saying has been around forever and people still believe it to this day.
There is more to having and maintaining healthy hair than just shampoos and conditioners. What you eat on a daily basis can be affecting your hair, both negatively and positively.
