Hair Growth Time Line Video Boosts Confidence of Patients Opting for Hair Transplant Procedures
Hair restoration surgeries are gaining popularity, thanks to the growing awareness about the treatment and the publicity given by celebrities and patients who have successfully undergone hair transplant and come up with satisfactory results.
To further build confidence among patients suffering from hair loss, Dr. Brett Bolton and Great Hair Transplants are now offering hair growth time line video to explain the efficacy of the hair restoration procedure conducted at the clinic.
The video features two patients on the website, GreatHairTransplants.com. Both patients are recipients of Dr. Bolton's newest hair restoration technique, the MaxHarvest. This hair restoration technique, according to Dr. Bolton, delivers maximum density and coverage in just one procedure.
Through the video, the clinic answers the most common and relevant questions that arise from patients who plan to go for a hair transplant: 'how will it look right after my surgery?', 'how will it look after a few days?', and 'when will I look normal again?'
The hair growth time line has been produced to clear the doubts with regard to hair transplant procedures. The video gives patients an opportunity to see exactly what to expect. It takes away the fear associated with such treatments, Dr. Bolton said. "The more we prepare them, the more confident they feel! "
Great Hair Transplants offers hair transplants at two of its centers -- Fort Lauderdale, FL and Franklin, TN. The clinic recently developed its hair loss patient education division to provide information for proven solutions to hair loss.
"It is sad the industry has used smoke and mirrors to confuse the hair loss victim over the years," says Steve Cook, chief operating officer at Great Hair Transplants. "We wake up every day to educate men and women who are suffering from hair loss. People are confused about what to do and all we do is provide them with options that are proven to work".
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Follicular Unit Transplants (FUT) are
the most popular types of hair restoration procedures adopted by men suffering from androgenic alopecia. To see the actual effect of hair transplant, patients may have to wait 3 to 4 months post-op. It will take about a year to see the actual result of the hair transplant.
