A New Kind of Hair Loss Clinic May Shake Things Up in the U.S. Market
DS Healthcare Group, which develops personal care products,
has just announced it is opening up its first hair loss clinic in the U.S.
While there already are tons of clinics catering to people
in search of help with their hair loss issues, and many that perform hair
transplant surgeries, the company said their new hair recovery clinic will be
different from the rest of the competition because it will offer tailored
medications based on each individual patient's needs and medical history.
In addition, the company said it believes it can help with
hair loss issues by helping to wake up dormant hair follicles so they can grow
again - much like so many gimmick potions promised to do but failed to deliver
on.
"Our studies show that most people have dormant hair
follicles. We know that by determining the source of someone's hair loss, we
can revive dormant hair follicles, and successfully regrow hair," said
Daniel Khesin, CEO of the South Florida-based DS Healthcare Group.
"A one-size-fits-all treatment to hair loss is an
unrealistic solution. We take a holistic approach, creating a personalized
treatment for each client based on their overall health."
DS Healthcare says its will cater to both men and women and
will offer service not just for people looking to get a solution to hair loss,
but also for anyone who just wants to grow thicker hair.
The new clinic was unveiled just this week in South Florida
in downtown Coral Gables. This DS Laboratories Hair Recovery Clinic will be the
first of many others planned from DS Healthcare Group where they will be able
to offer the therapies and products the company has been workin on developing
over many years.

Frequently asked questions about hair transplant procedures
How much does a hair transplant cost?
Hair transplants can vary in price based off of the area in the world that you are interested in getting a hair transplant as well as the size of the area where you may need a hair transplant. Experienced doctors in the United States will often charge some of the highest prices for a hair transplant worldwide and this is why so many travelers make the move to other parts the world like Turkey, India, Thailand, Mexico...etc for their hair transplants.
Will a hair transplant hurt?
Although hair transplants may look like a particularly
unpleasant or painful experience is actually very little discomfort involved
with the surgery itself. Hair transplants are always done under an anesthetic so there's absolutely zero pain during the treatment itself. Many people actually relate the process as being very similar to going to the dentist for filling or root canal. Mild pain can persist over the course of postop treatment but he generally just resumes for a few days.
Who can deliver the best surgery?
It's usually best to consider working with surgeons who have and IAHRS certification or international alliance of hair restoration surgeons recognition. IAHRS can often deliver recommendations for the best surgeons in each particular area.
Is this scarring noticeable?
Any type of hair transplant will require the use of incisions throughout the scalp. There can also sometimes be a small scar from the donor area towards the back of the scalp. Asking to look at photos of the surgeon's previous work will help you to see roughly how bad the scarring could be. In most cases an experienced professional can limit the look of scarring and noticeable marks from the surgery.
How long does it take for the hair to grow?
In most cases hair growth will start within eight months and you can start to see a full effect from the hair transplant after a full year. The initial signs of growth can usually start between 3 to 4 months after the surgery.
Are the results permanent?
The hair follicles that are transplanted are generally the ones which are genetically resistant against the symptoms of baldness. As long as you receive hair loss treatment later in your life after the symptoms of balding have started to subside, you can have a better chance at permanent results.
While everyone know you've had surgery?
If you want to limit the chance that people may find out about your surgery it's important to give at least three weeks of healing as the surgical area will be affected and red just after surgery. After around a month of healing it can look far less noticeable. You could consider wearing a hat while time passes or opting for some extra time off if possible.
How long should I rest after surgery?
It's recommended to rest for at least a few days after surgery so that your body can recover. Trenton to over exert yourself and limit sexual activity, running in the gym for around 10 days after surgery.
Is it possible to lose more hair as a result of surgery?
There is always a chance of shock loss which happens when the hair is weak and miniaturizing after the surgery. As long as the surgeon is choosing the correct hair follicles and performing the surgery well it's possible to minimize the chance of this happening however.
Will I need another hair transplant?
The need for another transplant really depends on the individual. With a solid foundation surgery and working to potentially bolster results with drug therapy, you can improve the stability of the hair that was transplanted as well as prevent further loss. Getting a hair transplant early
on in your 20s or early on in life could lead to needing long-term transplants as hair loss can be progressive.
