Dr. Mark DiStefano has been elected to the Board of Directors for the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery & International Board of Hair Restoration Surgery (ABHRS/IBHRS).

Hair Replacement

Hair. It frames the face and has a lot to do with one’s self image as well as the way others see us. Some people might have too much hair on their heads. But it’s a sure bet that they’re not as concerned about how they look as those of us who have too little.

DiStefano Hair Restoration Center has been helping men and women regain their self-esteem and restore a youthful appearance through hair replacement techniques for more than 15 years. To find out how we can help you, contact us today.

Some Hair Facts:

  • Each hair on our head lives for about four and a half to five years
  • On average, people have approximately 100,000 hairs on their heads
  • It takes about six months for one lost hair to be replaced by another
  • Hair loss is usually the result of our body’s inability to replace our hairs quickly enough once they die

If hair loss is a problem of your parents, it’s possible you might have this problem too. Other reasons for hair loss, besides heredity and aging, include illness, poor eating habits, medication and medical treatments such as radiation, improper use of hair treatments, an infection of the scalp, or high fever.

Are You a Good Candidate for Hair Replacement?

Unless someone is losing hair at a really rapid rate or a medical condition or treatment precludes hair replacement, most people should wait until they’re 25 years old to consider transplantation.

The best results of hair transplantation occur when:

  • The front of the head is the recipient area for transplanted hair, although the crown and sides can also be treated
  • There is a clearly defined area of baldness while at the same time hair grows densely on other parts of the scalp
  • You are not almost completely bald

Cost of Hair Replacement

Hair transplant surgery can be expensive but Dr. Stefano has some ways to help you pay for your procedure. The cost of your surgery basically depends upon the number of grafts transplanted and the time it takes and number of sessions to make them. Additional costs cover post-operative care, medication, anesthesia, and the costs of the facility where the procedure is done.
