What can Aesop’s Fables teach us about Hair Restoration, you might be asking yourself?
A lot, actually! Let’s start with the Vixen and the Lioness.
The Vixen And The Lioness
A Vixen who was taking her babies out for an airing one balmy morning, came across a Lioness, with her cub in arms. “Why such airs, haughty dame, over one solitary cub?” sneered the Vixen. “Look at my healthy and numerous litter here, and imagine, if you are able, how a proud mother should feel.” The Lioness gave her a squelching look, and lifting up her nose, walked away, saying calmly, “Yes, just look at that beautiful collection. What are they? Foxes! I’ve only one, but remember, that one is a Lion.”
The Moral of this story? – “Quality is better than quantity.”
This can obviously apply to pretty much any aspect of your life, hence Aesop’s lasting impact on our world, but it is especially important when considering Hair Restoration, Hair Transplantation, or Hair Loss Treatment.
There are countless Hair Restoration options out there in the world, and chances are if you are looking into Hair Transplantation you have probably looked at many of them. When you look at many of the ads for products and “mail-order” treatments for Baldness, Male Pattern Hair Loss, and other Hair Restoration offers, they appeal to your desire for quantity – they promise 90% more coverage, or to triple your hair growth. These advertisements are trying to get you to focus on quantity over quality.
Let’s go back to Aesop’s fable: Your “mail-order hair restoration” product might provide the look of having restored some of your hair or at least the coverage that appears to be what you want, but you should ask yourself: Is my hair restoration a bunch of weak foxes, or is it a robust lion?
Hair Restoration is a big decision, and one which you should make sure to focus on the quality of rather than the quantity of the results.
Hair Restoration Specialists and Quality
When you decide you want to make the best decision about your Hair Restoration journey, you should consult an expert. In Nevada, that means contacting Dr. Joseph Williams to schedule a free consultation.
How is this better “quality” you may want to know?
Hair Restoration Specialists like Dr. Williams don’t just make promises to update your hair by a certain percentage or by a certain multiplier – he makes sure that he get to know you, your needs, and your wants and then builds a Hair Transplantation or Hair Treatment plan that fits your needs.
Rather than simply try to “fill in the gaps,” a specialist like Dr. Williams will discuss all of your available options and find what will ultimately look and feel the best just for you.
In other words, by looking at the many treatment options available, your Hair Restoration Specialist can discuss how Follicular Unit Excision (FUE) is the best option for you because of the targeted needs of your particular Hair Loss Pattern. Or, if you have larger areas that need to be covered, your specialist and you might decide to go with Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT), which transplants multiple follicles from an area to a new area on the new recipient location.
There are also options such as Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), which can stimulate growth in Hair Follicles that might not be fully done with their lifespan.
By choosing to work with a Hair Restoration Specialist, you are able to get help to find the single best Lion (With their striking manes) rather than a bunch of Foxes. It is your body, your hair, your lifestyle – make sure you learn from Aesop and choose Quality over Quantity!
The Lion And The Eagle
This one is a little different from the Vixen and the Lioness, but its message is just as important.
AN EAGLE stayed his flight and entreated a Lion to make an alliance with him to their mutual advantage. The Lion replied, “I have no objection, but you must excuse me for requiring you to find surety for your good faith, for how can I trust anyone as a friend who is able to fly away from his bargain whenever he pleases?’
The Moral of this story is “Try before you trust.”
This one is extremely relevant to Hair Restoration – let us explore how.
Hair Restoration products that you might order through the mail or the Internet rely on selling you several products and hoping you continue to use them over a period of time hoping for some change. Human beings are optimistic creatures, and we tend to see and hope for the best with things, especially when we want them to be true.
By the time you figure out that the hair product you have been using doesn’t work, you might feel ashamed, betrayed, or otherwise upset by the experience, and then, at the end of the day, you might get a refund for one of the boxes of product you used, or, more likely, you will just stop using it and the company has already made off with your money.
“But wait!” you say. “I thought I was supposed to try before I trust!” Indeed! Except in this case, once you start using a product, you might have already past the point where damage is done, and by trying the product out without consulting a Hair Restoration Specialists first, you have actually already trusted it to not damage your Hair Follicles and scalp!
This is where consulting with a trusted Hair Restoration Specialist like Dr. Williams is the best option you have. And it’s also how you get to “Try before you trust!”
Dr. Williams has the better part of two decades of experience in Hair Restoration, and besides having medical degrees and experience in Hair Restoration and Plastic Surgery, he can sit down with you and demonstrate the science behind the processes that he uses to find your best Hair Restoration procedure.
This means that while you don’t get to have a “trial run” of a Follicular Unit Excision or Follicular Unit Transplantation before the process, you do get the benefit of years of experience, a Licensed Surgeon who is a real person you will visit with and meet, and science and medicinal practices and research that support your options.
Besides all of that, you also get a lot of input into the process yourself! Hair Restoration shouldn’t be a “one-size-fits-all” product, but rather the result of consultation, understanding of expectations and reality, and comfort in knowing that a real person who cares about his patients is going to have your best interests at heart.
So, once again, be like the Lion (again, with the wonderful mane of hair), and be wise in your decisions for your Hair Restoration journey.
Whether you are dealing with Male Pattern Hair Loss (MPHL) or some other concern related to Hair Loss, Setting up a consultation to TRY before you Trust with a licensed, respected, Hair Restoration Specialist like Dr. Williams will ensure you ultimately make the best choice possible for your Hair Restoration needs.
