Integrated Approach to Hair Restoration by Monte O. Harris, MD.

Hair loss has become an epidemic, particularly for many women whose hair has been traumatized over the years with chemicals and damaging hair styles. In women, hair loss is a serious life altering condition. Treatment is rarely suggested until the hair is visibly thinner, but by that time as much as 50% of the hair is usually gone. Early diagnosis, health education and self empowerment are keys to stopping the cycle.

Dr. Harris believes that your hair wellness treatment plan should be as unique and individualized as you are. His comprehensive approach ensures that you receive the absolute highest level of support and care. Your holistic treatment plan depends on your commitment level, hair loss severity, and aesthetic goals.

Dr. Harris has developed an innovative approach to combat hair loss which includes both nonsurgical and surgical solutions. Our comprehensive approach involves cutting edge hair analysis, a supportive stylist network to assist with healthy styling options, topical "hairceutical" treatments, customized hair prescriptions, laser light therapy and targeted surgical transplantation for advanced hair loss. We tailor each solution to address differences in hair texture and hair loss related to ethnicity.
