Tough Job Market and Hair Transplants

Friday, May 1st, 2009

hair transplant and job marketSomeone just forwarded me an interesting article from the LA Times that was recently published.  The author was visiting one of the open houses of a hair transplant surgical clinic recently and was amazed to see a good crowd despite of the current recession and financial slow down that has caused patient volume in cosmetic-surgery facilities to fall by a third, according to the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery.  The author found a waiting room full of guys who were willing to spend as much as $20,000 a piece to restore what nature was taking away.

He says: “…increasingly these days, another incentive for men to undergo hair-transplant surgery is a desire to be more competitive in a challenging job market.”  The article quotes Dr. Rassman as: “Society discriminates against bald people. If you have two people coming in for a job, and one of them is partly bald, you’ll think that the one with hair has more youth and vitality.”  He continues as “Many full-headed people have a hard time understanding the problems of balding people.”  The author talks to several balding men requiring hair restoration information at his hair transplant clinic.  One of the patients said, a more youthful appearance would definitely improve his chances if one had to start looking for work — which he hopes won’t happen any time soon, but you never know with the way things are.

The article continues as: With hair-transplant surgery, healthy hair is removed from the back of the scalp and replanted up top.  Sometimes it grows in nice and evenly. Other times, you have to grow it long where it takes root and settle for a comb over. And other times, judging from some websites out there, things can go very wrong and you’re worse off than when you began.  Potential patients will want to shop around carefully.  Rahul Gupta, 28, works as a mechanical engineer for a company he’d rather not name.  (”We do a lot of defense work,” he explained.)  Like David, he’s mindful of how a hirsute appearance can influence one’s career prospects.

I found this article interesting and I have to say, I personally had many patients whom have visited me as soon as they heard that they are being laid off from their job.  The job market is tight now, but there are plenty of opportunities in getting what you want at a discounted rate.  For example, we came up with a standby program to help people who can be flexible with their schedules fill our openings and get discounts on their hair transplant cost.  If you are competing with a lot of qualified candidates that just lost their job, you need to use any help you can possibly get to become more competitive.

Hair Transplant Cost and Recession

Sunday, March 29th, 2009

Hair transplant cost is one of the first questions that come to mind when people start their search for a hair restoration procedure.  We too get questions on hair transplant prices and the cost of hair transplant a lot in our hair restoration clinics.

Asking “how much does a hair transplant cost” is a vague question in regards to hair transplant costs.  The better and more intelligible question would be what the best value for a hair transplant is.  When you do research for something that leaves a permanent change on your face you do not want a cheap hair transplant, but you want the most affordable cost for the highest quality of the work.  That is called value shopping and you will never regret it.

However you should do your homework for the average cost for hair transplants and then if you find a great hair transplant doctor with good credentials and background.  By choosing a good surgeon that offer a reasonable cost of hair transplants, your mission is accomplished and you can leave your hair restoration process to the doctor with no worry about the outcome.

Many people do not do their homework when it comes to making such an important selection and go to the first doctor who knows how to sell themselves through marketing tactics.  Worse than that are the patients who try to find cheap hair transplant or cost shopping instead of value shopping.  The result of that may be catastrophic and patients may end up with an unnatural appearance after their cheap hair transplant procedure is done.  I have seen a number of patients whom received less number of grafts than what they were promised due to technical errors or unethical behaviors from some hair transplant clinics.

We at US Hair Restoration are now offering a variety of payment plans for hair transplant procedures with no or minimal interest that can bring the final cost of hair transplants down to small monthly portions and we also managed to keep our hair transplant prices as low as possible while maintaining our high quality standards.  In addition, to bring hair transplant cost even lower, we have come up with a standby program in which patients can get significant discounts for quality hair restoration procedures.  To get more information on hair transplant costs at US Hair Restoration, you can contact one of our California hair transplant clinics and ask about your eligibility for the low hair transplant costs of our standby program.
