There are many ways to restore your hair or prevent further hair loss. These ways are fully and honestly discussed within this website. We will also introduce you to a new method of hair transplant surgery that offers better potential than standard methods of strip harvesting from the donor region.

Working with long hair is more difficult and time-consuming than working with very short ... more ... Post by forhair

Do I have to shave my head for a hair transplant procedure?
One question our patients frequently ask is whether they will have to shave their head for a CIT® procedure. Many of these individuals are unaware that we offer C2G, or CIT®-to-Go. Patients who opt for this procedure do not need to shave their donor area, and will be able to hide their extraction sites even immediately post-surgery. C2G is a popular option for individuals in the public eye, or those who must return to work immediately following their procedure.
