Bay Area Locals Shouldn’t Hesitate to Make a Change at Any Age

Even on the California peninsula, where people create products that change the world, personal change is still scary to many.  It can require turning life around to do something different.

An individual may feel they are beyond the time it matters to change, which isn’t true.  Change is always possible.  Many of our most well-loved icons transformed their lives later in life. 

• Stan Lee didn’t get his break in comic books until he was 40
• Julia Child published her first cookbook at 50
• Colonel Harland Sanders didn’t open up the KFC restaurants until the age of 65
• Britain’s oldest yoga instructor, Tom Allen, started in his mid-fifties and still teaches in his 90’s!

These trailblazers prove there is always time to reinvent yourself.  We are sure there were plenty of moments where they could have gone down the path of discouragement, but that’s not how anyone lives their best life, is it?  Reinvention comes in many forms.  People return to school, begin a new career, or discover a new hobby. 

Part of this process includes typically changing your outward appearance too.  A San Jose resident moving from executive administrator to full-time artist might dress down to painter’s pants and funky t-shirts.  A Sunnyvale engineer chose eye correction surgery to get rid of his prescription glasses.  In our case, we are contacted by men and women who are ready to restore thinning hair.  Because some things can’t be changed.  Residents from San Mateo to San Jose suffering from baldness will need help to thicken and renew their hairline.

If you’re unhappy with thin hair, ditch the comfort zone 

If someone isn’t happy with thinning hair, they may hesitate to do something. Sure, things could be better, but they are comfortable.  And why deal with the cost of a hair transplant? Or face concerns about taking time off work. Or have to understand all that new technology?  We have to ask, is staying in your “comfort zone” worth it? 

Our team can easily address every concern and offer solutions.  The first step is to contact us and discuss everything.  New information can help boost that new outlook.  For instance, we can set up a comfortable payment plan for hair restoration.  We’ll talk about the forward-thinking technology of the transplant robot (https://siliconvalleyhairinstitute.com/robot/).  We can even provide a visual mock-up of what the results can look like! Then hair transplant surgery won’t feel so intimidating.

People have different attitudes about going bald.  Some men embrace it as part of their new “brand.” In fact, the style of a perfectly smooth dome combined with a full, silky beard is trending right now (and we handle beard transplants at https://siliconvalleyhairinstitute.com/beard-transplant/).  But, if someone feels more vibrant with a full head of hair, or a style that helps provide the “look” of thicker hair (like micropigmentation https://siliconvalleyhairinstitute.com/micropigmentation/), they’ll be looking at hair restoration treatments.

And if you’re under 40 and unhappy with thinning hair, our clinic is ready to support any generation looking for a change.  Because hair loss can happen at any age.  Bay Area locals in their 20s and 30s with hair loss can feel it dampen their motivation to “get out there” and make positive change happen.  People don’t have to be middle-aged to feel it’s time to reinvent themselves.  Nature doesn’t give everyone the same timeline for hair loss.

Hair transplantation vs. hair replacement, there is a difference

We’ve heard several terms for hair restoration.  Some folks call it “hair replacement surgery,” but it’s not.  We are not replacing the hair, which may imply we use someone else’s hair.  We move a person’s own hair around and transplant it.  This is called Follicular Unit Extract and Transplantation, or FUE/FUT.  Where there are thinner parts of the scalp, the ARTAS robot transplants individual strands.  The result can leave a thicker, natural look with minimal indication that anything was done. 

It’s essential to get the terms correct.  And it’s valuable to speak to one of the top hair transplant surgeons in the Bay Area to get the surgery right.  Change can seem scary, but if someone is ready to evolve, we can help.
