Hair is the most prominent feature of your face. So, hair loss is important. Losing hair is as damaging to the appearance of your face as a broken nose or a black eye. The decision of whether or not to treat the deformity is yours to make. Once you decide to seek help, you need the best hair loss doctor you can find to provide the care you need, and nothing is more crucial to that decision than time. If a doctor won't spend time with you during the consultation, he won't be available when you need him because of problems or questions. Dr. Pomerantz, a Chicago, Illinois hair loss and replacement specialist, makes communication with patients a top priority.

Artistry is the next most important quality in hair restoration. The mechanics of surgical hair restoration are simple. They require only knowledge and minute attention to detail in their application, but artistic sense is the most difficult thing to teach. Excellence in hair restoration demands both artistry and an understanding of its importance.

Intense attention to the minute details of the mechanics of hair restoration is vital to achieving excellent results. Texts and articles on hair restoration state that after transplantation, the hairs in the grafts fall out and take 6-21 weeks to grow. Our attention to detail is such that, in the majority of our patients, most of the hairs in the grafts do not fall out. After a lag phase of 4-6 days, they begin to grow and continue to grow.

Professional Illinois Hair Restoration

Restoring growing hair is not, in itself, sufficient. The appearance of the transplanted hair should be such that it is not easily detectable as being transplanted. There are different levels of detectability-social, personal, and professional. A good hair transplant surgery should stand up to social observation, i.e., two people sitting face-to-face a few feet apart. Excellent hair transplantation should stand up to personal inspection, i.e, kissing-close or even having fingers run through the hair. An excellent hair loss surgery may even escape detection by a barber or hair stylist. We routinely do hair transplantation of this quality.
