Is a Hair Transplant right for me?

[Vannen]

Hello,

 

I am 23 years old and unfortunately losing my hair.

 

I have been losing my hair for about a year now and is beginning to really affect my way of life and how I feel about myself. Being only 23 it seems like I got the short end of the stick in the old gene pool.

 

I take Proscar and Rogaine everyday with no results.

 

I live in Vancouver, BC and have been looking into getting a hair transplant and have looked into the following clinics.

 

-Hassan and Wong

-Hair Transplant Centre/ Dr. Jerry Shapiro

-Bosley (Vancouver Office)

 

If anybody has any information on any of those three places, including approx. cost, I would really appreciate it. ESPECIALLY if you were a patient there.

Vannen,

 

Type either "Dr. Hasson" or "Dr. Wong" in the search field of this or any other forum and you will need many days to read all of the positive information you will find. For some of it you will need translation software because much of it is in Italian, Spanish, German, French, Korean, Japanese, Chinese and even American.

 

Then do the same for your other choices as well.

 

Our fee is 5.00 per graft up to 2000 grafts in a session. Any graft over 2000 in the same session is 3.00 each. We have to charge GST but not PST.

 

I highly suggest you take some time, and by time I mean at least several weeks at a minimum, and research us and anyone else you are considering but more importantly you should research the procedure in general and what you can expect based on your degree of loss.

Vannen welcome to the forum. I actually live in Coquitlam. You are so lucky to live near a world class clinic. I assist italian for Hasson and Wong when they come here for a transplant. Patients come from all over the world to H&W. They have a repuation of being the world best in many people eyes.

Dr. Jerry Shapiro is a world class dermologist I do not want to comment on his hair transplants. Bosley all you have to do is read the forum and the internet and that will give you an idea.

Since you are in Vancouver why not book a consulation with Hasson and Wong to give you a better idea.

[PLEASE GROW PLEASE]

You have one of the top clinics [H&W} at your front door.

I see no reason to go anywhere else

Thanks for the responses,

 

I notice that with Hassan and Wong the patient photos show a shaved head. Is shaving your head necessary with H&W?

 

Also, how long does it take to get a consultation with H&W? Approx. wait time to get the procedure done?

 

One last thing, are there any differences between the type of procedure done with most of these clinics or is it just an expertise/experience thing?
