While hair thinning and loss are typically natural processes in the body — closely linked to aging, genetics and hormones — autoimmunity and inflammation have been recently rising as culprits. Additionally, hair loss concerns have increased amongst younger individuals of all genders, spurring many to seek treatment and many others to provide treatment. Because of this, it is paramount that patients seek scientifically validated approaches to promote safety and success in their hair restoration endeavors. The provision of these scientifically validated approaches must be backed by appropriate education and training, given the potential for harm and permanent disfigurement.
Ads abound for “miracle cures” with seductive pricing that are being provided by teams without foundational education, having completed only a weekend course or online seminar. The risks here are of delayed diagnosis and treatment, of use of treatments that do more damage than good, destruction of trust for the medical field, and, most importantly, of frustration and loss of hope in these vulnerable patients.
Shamila Gupta Rawal, MD, a board-certified head and neck surgeon at The Rawal Institute for Hair Restoration and Aesthetic Medicine, fully understands the devastating effects of hair loss in women and men of all ages, and has decades of education and training to support the appropriate diagnosis, treatment and long-term support of her patients. As a full member and faculty of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery, she stays abreast of the evolving medicine of hair loss and restoration and uses only evidence-based treatment protocols in her practice. Dr. Rawal prides herself on incorporating cutting- edge technologies, only after sufficient data and experience have accrued, to ensure her patients the greatest margin of safety and potential for success.
Each patient interaction is truly a partnership; listening to her patients in an unhurried consultation provides as much information as her examination findings. She creates a customized plan using medical and surgical modalities that suit the patient’s lifestyle and health goals to restore their beauty and self-confidence.
One of the hallmarks of Dr. Rawal’s approach is empowerment through education. Last year, Dr. Rawal hosted her sold-out Science and Art lecture series: small-group sessions including a deep interactive dive into the science behind prominent wellness topics, live demonstrations and on-site mini-consultations. Attendees also enjoyed engaging Q&A sessions with other patients and received promotional pricing and product samples to try at home! Dr. Rawal continues her series this year — spots are limited, so RSVP on the website (below) right away! Sessions are intentionally limited to 10 attendees to foster a safe, intimate setting.
When considering treatment for devastating issues such as hair loss, rest assured Dr. Rawal has the knowledge and skill to care for you with science, safety and success.
