Welcome to Hair Transplant Medical where we provide hair transplant surgery information to individuals considering this procedure as an option for their hair loss. Hair Transplant Medical is an informational web site about hair restoration. We also provide information on the causes of hair loss, treatment options, as well as information on non surgical hair replacement.
Hair Transplant Medical is a consumer organization, the owner of the site is not a doctor. The purpose of this site is to serve as a valuable resource to individuals considering surgical hair restoration, or for those who just wish to learn more about hair loss and other available hair loss options. Hair loss is devastating at any age regardless of gender, and one of the most important things for a hair loss sufferer is to know that there is hope. Realize that both men and women have successfully treated their own hair loss and you do have hope. We are always looking for ways to improve the site for our viewers, please email us at, info@hairtransplantmedical.com with your feedback.
If you are considering hair restoration surgery and are looking for a skilled doctor, we recommend you visit the IAHRS. The International Alliance of Hair Restoration Surgeons is the only consumer organization that selectively screens skilled and ethical hair transplant surgeons.For more information visit: http://www.iahrs.org/

Hair loss consumer advocate Spencer Kobren has recently launched a new hair transplant forum called Bald Truth Talk. On his website The Bald Truth he discusses why he has created this new resource for the hair loss community:
What was once thought to be a safe place to learn about hair loss and hair transplantation has become a breeding ground for gorilla marketers posing as actual patients and hair loss sufferers. The most egregious offences come in the form of agenda driven posts created by forum administrators and their multiple pseudonyms intentionally misleading their trusting readers.
The sad truth is that this once wonderful resource of information for people trying to help themselves, and to learn more about hair loss and hair restoration has become corrupted.
For years, we have been asked by both the hair loss community and the handful of ethical members of the hair loss industry, to create an official resource that would be untouched by the corruption that permeates many of the existing entrepreneurial message forums. A place where vulnerable hair loss sufferers can ask questions and learn from truly concerned professionals and veteran hair loss consumers who have no political or financial agendas.
Indeed the online hair loss and hair transplant community is ready for a new platform to obtain real and honest information, the ability to interact with hair transplant surgeons, and of course, other hair loss individuals as well.
As with any health disorder, education is key. It is equally important to find real places of support to help navigate you through the muddy waters of the hair loss industry.
