The Patient’s Guide to Hair Restoration

The Patient's Guide to Hair Restoration is an easy-to-understand text that explains the cause of hair loss, how it is diagnosed and how baldness is best treated using medications and/or hair replacement surgery. The book focuses on Follicular Unit Transplantation, but covers a wide range of topics from the psychology of hair loss to the specific steps one should follow when considering hair transplant surgery.

”A MUST READ -- After being so confused from all the hair loss ads; Rogaine, Propecia, Mini-micro-grafting and the "new-new thing" called Follicular Unit Transplantation, I was able to make sense of it all.”
