Ready to Take Action on Your Thinning Hair?
If you are a man experiencing hair loss and live in or near Foster City, then you’ve probably been wondering how to move forward with your personal style. There are a few choices to manage the issue alone:
- Strategically style the hair to cover a balding patch or accept a shorter buzz cut.
- Try over-the-counter scalp treatments to revive the thinning spots.
- Allow whatever is left to stay, usually in a crescent shape around the scalp or along the front of the receding hairline.
- Look into toupees or crown weaves.
- Shave the remaining scalp for a smooth, bald look.
Plenty of men have chosen #5 to their benefit. Look at celebrities like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Bruce Willis, Vin Diesel, and Jason Statham. Embracing a smooth scalp hasn’t hurt their careers. But these guys also have PR professionals and media supporting their bold ‘no excuses’ manly style.
Not every guy feels comfortable going bald. Some men want a masculine look, more like James Bond than Vin Diesel. They are more confident with a full head of hair. So, is a hair transplant worth it in the Bay Area? For those who value long-term self-confidence, the answer is yes.
Men: It’s Your Choice How to Combat Hair Loss
Everyone in the Bay Area gets to choose how they want to present themselves. Especially in Silicon Valley – cities like Palo Alto, Menlo Park, or Cupertino – the “bros” want to look masculine with bushy beards and bushy hair. Most men enjoy a quick daily grooming routine. Constantly re-arranging their hair to hide a bald spot might be stressful. One burst of Bay Area oceanside air can ruin the effort in seconds. Also, the added routine of using over-the-counter scalp creams and other hair growth ‘remedies’ can be burdensome and disappointing. In addition, toupees and crown weaves may seem like a cheap alternative to surgery, but they have drawbacks too. Such as frequent maintenance and expensive visits for regular upkeep.
The process for modern hair transplant surgery has become more comfortable and precise, too. Yes, recovery takes some time, and robotic hair transplantation is an investment, but the effort can produce natural-looking results. The time and financial obligations can be outweighed by the long-term results of real hair that’s easy to maintain.
Combating hair loss is an individual journey. Men are lucky to have several choices about how they want to present themselves. If using cheaper but time-consuming methods for a full head of hair has been tried with disappointing results, Bay Area men might find investing in a hair transplant is worth it. Dr. Canales is available to speak to Bay Area locals and explain why a hair transplant is worth it.
