Hair transplant doctor best for hair loss treatment?

By far, the vast majority of men and women in the United States with thinning hair, receding hair or hair loss have an underlying genetic tendency toward the condition.  Androgenetic Alopecia (genetic male or female pattern hair loss) is a medically-treatable condition.  Dermatologists may be aware of treatments and procedures, but often do not prescribe, provide or perform them.   The field has changed rapidly within recent years.  Treatments range from FDA-approved medications, to laser light therapy, to microsurgical hair transplantation.  New, non-invasive treatments are now available as well as comfortable, undetectable, artistic hair transplant procedures--if necessary. For a detailed evaluation, genetic hair loss testing, an accurate medical diagnosis, a multi-therapy/multi-modality treatment plan, standardized results-tracking and more, you need to seek the advice of a physician who specializes in hair loss and hair restoration.     There are 600+ members of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery ([weblink:http://www.ishrs.org)|www.ishrs.org)] --which is the primary source of hair loss/hair restoration education for physicians.   There are about 100 physicians worldwide who are also board-certified Diplomates of the American Board of Hair Restoration surgery (www.abhrs.org).   Even fewer are "top-ranked" by consumer organizations, like the American Hair Loss Association (www.americanhairloss.org).   Do your research, your due diligence... google, email, call and interview the doctor.   Be prepared to travel to visit them in person or send digital photos for a preliminary evaluation.  Every doctor has a different level of skill, experience and expertise and each clinic will have a different 'feel' in terms of patient-care. Hair loss is a progressive condition--one that's gets worse without treatment.   If maintaining your hair is important, I encourage you to seek medical advice.   Feel free to post any questions you may have.
