Balding Banter:

Wondering what the transplant will look like after it grows out or wondering whether or not it will look natural are now worries of the past. Ziering Medical once again pioneers the newest and most advanced hair restoration techniques: Dr. Ziering is proud to announce the New Long Hair Transplant. Instead of shaving the donor hair that is to be harvested, we are now keeping it long so that the results are seen immediately after the procedure. Stay tuned for further information about this latest revelation in hair transplant technology. Or you can call our toll free number to find out more information- 1-800-642-9942.

Some of the recent eyebrow restorations on display at the offices of Ziering Medical in Los Angeles have even some of the wily veterans of this craft tipping their hats and offering accolades to Dr. Ziering and his superlative medical staff.

What is the source of this excitement and buzz ?  Stay tuned.  Details are forthcoming.      

The Giants!

Giants have won 10 in a row on the road.   So both teams are riding winning streaks that are NFL records.  The Giants played the Patriots the toughest during their regular season.  And Brady showed last week that he is human throwing 3 interceptions.  Manning has not had any turnovers in the playoffs.  The Giants are a dangerous team because they believe they are a team of destiny.

It's not can you afford Ziering Medical, it's you can't afford not to choose Ziering Medical. When talking about hair restoration, one needs to be educated about the numbers part of the equation and understanding how important it is to get the procedure done right the first time. As Dr. Ziering says, "we are in the moving business." We are moving a limited number of grafts/hairs into an area where a significant higher number of hairs existed prior to the loss. It isn't about replacing the same number of hairs, it is about replacing the lost area with grafts/hairs that are artistically and skillfully arranged so that it will  give you the appearance of more hair. Whether that takes you from looking bald to thinning, or from thinning to full.

Because each person has a limited amount of donor hair that can be harvested for transplantation, it is essential that one has the best and most experienced team perform the procedure. That TEAM is Ziering Medical. Our surgeons are the most experienced, skilled and artistic in the industry today- which translates into the most natural looking results achievable. Ziering Medical is the top leader in hair restoration for innovative, state of the art techniques and instrumentation- which again produces the most natural looking results possible. We provide you with the highest quality of care that starts with the consultation, it extends to the surgery and post-operative treatments, and it continues throughout all of your follow up visits. No monetary price can be put on the quality of service that is delivered by Ziering Medical.

Don't trust your appearance and hair restoration needs to anyone but the best- Ziering Medical. Call today for your no charge consultation- you will be glad you did.

Make 2008 your best year ever. I recently had a 59 year old patient tell me that after his transplant he felt as if he had a new lease on life. He said that he now wanted to live another 30+ years since he finally looks as young on the outside as he feels on the inside. Wouldn't you like to have something like that to say about yourself in 2008. Ziering Medical can help you along in that process if male pattern hair loss is making you look older than you feel. Hair loss isn't just a vain, cosmetic issue. It is recognized as a real issue in psychological self esteem and perception of others.

I have more patient's than I can count that have said similar statement as the gentleman that I mentioned earlier. You owe it to yourself to feel GREAT about the way you look. Let Ziering Medical help you get started. Call the toll free number today to set up a no charge consultation so that one of our surgeons can discuss with you your hair loss/thinning concerns and together come up with an individualized treatment plan that will best suit your needs- whether that be medical, surgical or both. We at Ziering Medical are here to help- let us do our job!

Having practiced medicine for 25 years - the past 9 having been devoted exclusively to the medical and surgical treatment of hair loss -    I can state assuredly that I have heard quite a litany of postulated causes and proposed treatments for this common disorder which besets all ages, colors and creeds. 

One feature of the patient with hair loss that continues to confound me is the willingness of people to seek counsel and take direction from individuals without an iota of medical training - classically personified in my specialty by the hairdresser- often in the process rather blithely disregarding my advice if it runs at all counter to their 'expert's'  say on the matter.

Now granted hair loss has never been responsible for the literal demise of anyone so a worse case scenario is progression of loss in a setting where this eventuality was avoidable - so my ego can take the jolt and my conscience stay clear - but really ???    really ???   

So in my never ending quest to educate the masses, I present my ABC's of hair loss management:

Abdicate to those who know.  You wouldn't think of seeking consultation from a urologist and then take his recommendations to your plumber for a second opinion any more than you would weigh your fitness trainer's opinion on the state of your cardiac muscle and the need for pharmacological or surgical intervention against that rendered by your cardiologist.

Be prepared for a program of management that entails lifelong therapy with medications that have a proven track record of efficacy and safety.  Understand that any and all other hair tonics and potions are not reasonable substitutes for finasteride (Propecia) and minoxidil.

Consider surgical hair transplantation to restore your lost ranks.  It is the only predictable means of replacing hair lost thru genetic patterned loss or other means and in capable hands like ours at Ziering Medical the results are uniformly acknowledged as natural looking by even the most critical reviewers and acclaimed by most to be nothing short of amazing.

New England Patriot's a perfect season, don't count on it!  Dr. Z predicts that New England will not win the superbowl.  Tune in week to week to see where they fall!  Just so you New England fans know, I love Tom Brady as a great quarterback.  But I still stand by my predictions.
