Hair Loss: A Silent Epidemic

HAIR LOSS: A SILENT EPIDEMIC

Hello Ladies & Gentlemen. I want to talk about the very real problem of hair loss. This is a silent
epidemic, not just in Boca Raton but worldwide.

** 2/3 American men have visible hair loss by the age of 35.

** 25% of male pattern baldness starts before the age of 21.

** 85% of men have significantly thinning hair by the age of 50.

** 21 million women in this country alone have thinning hair.

** 40% of women have visible hair loss by the age of 40.

** 40% of people suffering from hair loss are female.

These are sobering statistics. Hair loss is not just a male problem, it is a human problem. If you have hair, you risk losing it. I suffer from hair loss and as a woman with hair loss, there simply is not much out there for information. Hair loss is a very intimate issue for anyone but for women it is humiliating in so many ways. We are not supposed to go bald. We do not want to admit that we have a problem with hair loss, and we certainly do not want to talk about it. However, I am here to take the shame out of hair loss for both men and women. I have had a hair transplant myself. I started to lose hair in my early 30’s and by the time I was 39, I needed a hair transplant.

My own experience with a doctor who did not fully understand hair loss is what changed the course of my career. I now specialize in skin, hair and intimate rejuvenation in Boca Raton. I provide both surgical and nonsurgical treatment options for hair loss. I work closely with my patients to address the various causes of hair loss to provide a great and natural long-term result. No one needs to know that you had a hair transplant or restoration, but you will want to tell friends and family about your great results.

I have been named as the “Expert in Hair Transplantation and Restoration” by Boca Raton Magazine and Delray Magazine. I see patients from Boca Raton, Delray Beach and surrounding areas in South Florida as well as patients from as far as Australia. It takes a village. We are in this together. It’s good to talk about it. Please feel free to call our office to set up a complimentary consultation. What do you have to lose but more hair?
