Customer Reviews

A down-to-earth resource presenting solid information

Knowledgeably written by Doctor Pater J. Panagotacos (a certified dermatologist whose specialty is hair restoration), Hair Loss Answers offers the reader a compilation of straight facts about the causes and treatments of hair loss, including cosmetic treatments, surgical restoration, follicular unit micrografting, cons and false "snake oil" remedies, and much, much more. A down-to-earth resource presenting solid information, Hair Loss Answers is very highly recommended reading for anyone concerned with hair loss and restoration.

Very thorough, yet easy to understand

What I liked about this book is that it is comprehensive as well as chronological.The reasons for hair loss are explained well, and treatment options are presented in a matter of fact manner that is objective and easy to read.There are also lots of color pictures of hair transplant patients, so anyone considering surgery can really see what it is all about. Patients also describe, in detail, what the surgery is like, and I felt confident prior to making my decision to move forward with surgery that I knew what I was getting myself into.To date, this is the most informative book that I've come across.

Worth twice the price!

This book was a find! Not only answered all my questions - it even pointed out a dozen good questions that I hadn't even thought of yet! Then it answered them clearly. I found the book was a little too concise in certain areas but it covered pretty much all the options clearly and, to my relief, didn't push the hairdoc himself too hard, though I live in San Frncisco so I might call him soon. A good place to start if you are getting concerned about hair loss. (I am, but not forever!)

Hair Loss Answers

I recommend this book to anyone with a concern about hair loss. It is an amusing and informative book which painlessly answers most of the questions I had about my male pattern baldness. As a result of reading about follicular unit grafting I ended up finding the right hair transplant doctor for me. My mother also had a recent problem with hair loss and it turned out she was having a reaction to one of the medications which were listed in the book as a cause of drug induced shedding. Our family doctor looked it up and changed her prescription. It seems there is something in this book for everyone with hair loss.
