I had the pleasure to meet Dr. Griffin for my first visit on January 15, 2016. While, this was mostly a consultation-I've done a total of three with other Doctor's. I never once received the quality service he has given me and time. I'm now on a non-surgical journey for my hair loss. While, he didn't guaranteed anything he gave me some options. I've decided to take the non surgical journey first and then see how the results. I will post pictures of my hair at the starting point...so everyone can stay with me on my hair journey. Last options will be surgery.

Hi Pearl2016.
Your photos shoes some thoughts that you have two things going on. Traction alopecia in the front and an inflammatory alopecia in the crown scalp. Make sure you've spoken with Dr. Griffin about any symptoms you may have experienced since the onset of your hair loss in both locations as well as eyebrow hair loss. Time is follicles and if you undergo a transplant and still have inflammation in the scalp you may end back in the same position in a few years. I've seen it first hand. I specialize in hair loss disorders and treatment options. If you have any questions we are located in Atlanta and are happy to be of assistance.

I had serious hair loss due to traction. I'm an African lady. I went to this other hair regrowth place and they told me l will never have my hair back unless surgery in America, lm in Australia and l tried another place. Wow, they took me on a journey with minoxidil lotion. For 3 months no signs of regrowth but only shedding. I got worried but after 4 months my hair become darker and thicker on my head and my hair line became great. I no longer dye my hair, as l was dying it black every week. I wish l could post my pictures for people to see. Good luck on your journey
