What are the Advantages of Hair Pieces and Extensions
The use of hair pieces and extensions are non-surgical procedures which instantly supply the desired amount of hair. They also can be used in conjunction with surgery. Surgical results may take as long as 18 months in women and the hair extensions can provide adequate coverage until the procedure matures.

Hair Surgery for Women
20% of my Beverly Hills practice are women. The usual causes for hair loss are genetic mid scalp thinning and post facial plastic surgery hair loss. Post surgical hair loss usually regenerates in 3 to 4 months without treatment. Genetic female pattern hair loss requires medical treatment. Surgical intervention may also be necessary. The success rate is excellent but women need to wait 12 to 18 months for their hair to be long enough to appreciate the results.
