Story Script:

EMBARASSING... PAINFUL... AND SIMPLY UNFAIR.

Lilas
"When I lost the hair, then I felt I was like this strange character person, like I was a non person."

WHILE THE CHROME DOME MAY BE ACCEPTABLE FOR A LOT OF MEN, WOMEN'LL TELL YOU THAT THEY NEED THEIR HAIR.

Deborah
"You lose your confidence if something is going wrong with your body."

LADIES SUFFERING FROM FEMALE HAIR LOSS CAN USUALLY BLAME HORMONES, GENETICS, STRESS, MEDICAL CONDITIONS, AND/OR NUTRITION.

Johan Simantoub
"Most of our clients that are coming through are ladies."

AS MORE AND MORE WOMEN FACE TRAUMATIC HAIR LOSS, THE SOLUTIONS ARE BECOMING MORE INNOVATIVE.

AMONG THE OPTIONS, SINGLE FOLICLE HAIR TRANSPLANTION, MODERN LASERS, AND CUSTOMIZED HAIR WEAVES.

Dr. Sean Behnam
"The hair loss is concentrated mainly on the top area."

LILAS IS A BUSINESSWOMAN DEALING WITH HAIR LOSS.

Lilas
"Balding hair runs in our family. My hairdresser cries all the time whenever she cuts my hair."

SHE'S DECIDED ENOUGH'S ENOUGH AND IS NOW OPTING FOR A HAIR TRANSPLANT.

Dr. Sean Behnam
"You cannot even detect any of them had any procedure done."

DOCTOR SEAN BEHNAM SPECIALIZES IN HAIR TRANSPLANTION.

HERE HIS TECHNICIANS SORT OVER TWO THOUSAND HEALTHY HAIR GRAFTS THAT ARE IMPLANTED IN THE SCALP IN A SEVEN-HOUR PROCEDURE.

Dr. Sean Behnam
"Up to 20 percent of all my hair transplants are women. It has significantly increased over the last couple of years.... Now with the technological advances, it looks so natural."

ANOTHER OPTION... A CUTTING EDGE LASER HELMET WAS JUST APPROVED BY THE FDA FOR HOME USE.

DOCTOR DAVID MELAMED FROM WEST L.A. HAIR SAYS IT'S IDEAL FOR HAIR THAT'S THINNING.

Dr. David P. Melamed
"What's happened now is revolutionary where we've taken the entire energy that's been produced here and now we're able to do it in an at home device."

Dr. David P. Melamed
"This is the perfect type of solution for women who are experiencing hair loss naturally. This treatment is going to reverse that hair loss in order to restore the natural thickness and volume of hair."

HIS CLIENT SAYS SHE FEELS LIKE A NEW WOMAN.

THESE TWO YOUNG WOMEN ARE AFFLICTED WITH BALD PATCHES.

Donna
"I have a medical condition that causes hair loss."

Deborah
"My hair's always been thin but it got to the point where you could look in the mirror and see the light making your scalp shine.... and after awhile you just notice it every day and it just becomes always on the mind."

EACH COMES HERE TO GET A LITTLE PEACE OF MIND.

Johan Simantoub
"Hair replacement gives them coverage only for the place where it's missing."

JOHN SIMANTOUB RUNS "HAIR RESTORATION".... WHERE CUSTOM WEAVES CREATE A NATURAL INTEGRAGED LOOK.

Johan Simantoub
"We get a lot of ladies out of wigs and put them on hair replacement.... Hair replacement basically gives them coverage only where they need it."

IN JUST MINUTES, A FULL HEAD OF HAIR... AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, CONFIDENCE RESTORED.

Deborah
"I'm very happy."

THESE DOCTORS TELL US THE REASON YOUNGER WOMEN ARE LOSING HAIR IN HIGHER NUMBERS IS MAINLY DUE TO STRESS AND NUTRITION.

FOR THOSE WHO OPT FOR THE HAIR RESTORATION WEAVES, YOU CAN SLEEP, SHOWER AND BRUSH HAIR LIKE YOU WOULD NORMALLY.

IT ENDS UP BEING FAR LESS THAN OFFICE VISITS.
