The truth is that there is no single cure for
hair loss quite yet. However, there is some pretty exciting news--revolutionary
drugs, high-tech surgical techniques, and hair cover-ups that are
more natural looking than ever. For those experiencing hair loss,
the problem lies in seeing through the hype of hair-replacement
ads, and finding the product or technique that really works.
The Hair Replacement Revolution is an easy-to-understand
guide that discusses each hair replacement option--its strengths,
its weaknesses, and its breakthroughs. For each of the three basic
approaches to hair replacement--drug therapies, artificial hair
systems, and surgical procedures--the authors first explain the
most popular techniques available, including the latest advances.
The authors then discuss the pros and cons of each approach, and
offer guidelines that allow readers to evaluate what is best for
their own specific needs. Finally, and most important, Dr. Harris
and Dr. Marritt highlight important questions that consumers should--and
must--ask to avoid potentially dangerous and unexpected consequences.
By separating the fact from the hype, and the safe from the questionable,
The Hair Replacement Revolution provides an accurate
picture of what you can actually expect-not what you can wish for.
