Can I find a qualified hair implant doctor online?

Finding a medical hair restoration doctor

If you try to find a qualified medical hair restoration surgeon in your area and you aren't satisfied with the results of your search - or you can't find a doctor at all - what can you do? Are you destined to just accept your hair loss? Of course not. Thanks to the Internet, and to companies that offer the services of hair transplant surgery in various parts of the country, you can find the surgeon of your choice within driving distance. One of the best ways to locate such a surgeon is online by searching under key terms like: hair transplant doctors, hair restoration surgery or medical hair restoration surgeons. Keep in mind that hair transplant doctors have something to sell. Since the procedure isn't covered under your insurance plan, you have to be a wise consumer when you 'shop' for this type of a surgeon.

Two organizations that you might come across in your search include the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery and the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery. Also, you'll want to ensure that the surgeon you choose is skilled in the latest micro-graft techniques. These techniques are performed using grafts of one, two or three hair follicles at one time. It takes longer but the results are superior when compared to other, older techniques. Since cosmetic surgeons do not have to be certified in the same way as other surgeons, you must do a thorough background check on a hair implant doctor's training. Some patients feel better if their surgeon is also a certified dermatologist but this is not a requirement to perform hair implant surgery. Also, ask specific questions about recourse that you have if you aren't satisfied with the results of your surgery. A good doctor should not shy away from such questions.
