California Hair Restoration Specialists
Hair loss treatment outcomes depend on choosing a doctor with the right credentials, training and experience. It is crucial to understand that there is no medically recognized training required to perform hair restoration surgery. So many types of doctors can offer hair transplants, but only plastic surgeons are specifically trained and qualified in aesthetic surgery on the entire body. California Hair MD’s director, Dr. Richard Chaffoo, is a plastic surgeon and has nearly 30 years of experience in aesthetic surgery, including hair restoration. In that time he has developed:
- Unsurpassed training in aesthetic surgery focusing on the face, hairline and scalp.
- Performing the most complex procedures treating even the most difficult scalp and hair defects from burns, cancer and trauma, as well as congenital and acquired disorders like hair loss
- Expertise in the surgical management of every aspect of hair and scalp reconstruction and repair
- Understanding the aesthetics of natural hairline design, with an eye for choosing the right number of follicles to place in each graft and the orientation of transplanted hair
- A grasp of the most cutting edge and minimally invasive automated hair transplant methods, Artas and NeoGraft®, which ensures that more hair follicles survive transplants without linear scarring
