Checklist

HLCC

The Rest of the Hair Loss World
Office visits You'll be seen by experienced medical staff & a doctor who understands hair loss. If needed we will refer you to a high quality Dermatologist with what we've learned. Most companies (the ads you hear on the radio or see on TV) don't offer office visits. Hair Replacement companies will meet with you but don't normally have a doctor or medical staff in their offices. 
Phone Call Talk to a knowledgeable member of our staff (mostly medical). Much of our staff available to answer questions. Talk to a telemarketer reading script or order on-line with asking any questions.
How are you treated Each person is treated individually with FDA approved products at basic & higher strengths (e.g. Minoxidil 2-15%). We offer most available products on the market today that work and recommend what meets you hair loss needs best. Everyone is treated like they have Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA) and offer one set of products to cure all that ails you.
Run Clinical studies YES Most don't
Medical staff with Doctors? Yes, Physicians, Medical Technologist, a consulting Trichologist (Hair loss specialist)  2 Trichologist apprentices and a nurse (R.N.). Usually telemarketers, No Physician or if they do its typically a company that make 95% money doing traditional Hair transplants only.
Hair Transplants

 

Yes, but its not right for all patients. We also offer treatments and replacement. If we decide together it makes sense, we do all types of session. These include Micro/Mini Follicular units as well as Scalp reductions w/extenders, tissue rotation procedures & corrections. Most hair transplant companies offer only traditional hair transplants. Most don't offer more advanced surgical restoration like Tissue rotations procedures. The only treatment they offer is a few things only if you have surgery with them
Female Hair Loss We have a very good understanding of female pattern hair loss. There are many causes of Telogen Effluvium like hormonal and thyroid based loss in woman. Female Pattern (AGA) is only a part of the problem in many cases for woman. Do you know why? Ask us, see us? Most don't understand the subtle but medically and cosmetically significant differences in female hair loss.
What do they try to sell you? We at HLCC, we provide most products and services available. Doctor directed,  medically based solutions for hair loss. After consultation, our medical experts recommend & adjust treatment programs for your unique hair loss needs. Education &  truthful answers to your questions, not false promises is our commitment to you. What if I don't live near HLCC. Many companies try to sell you a 6 month or year supply of product without understanding your individual hair loss causes or what will work or not work for you. What's worse, many give you a 60 day money back guarantee, but hair loss takes normally 4-6 months to start to show results (if it does at all). How do you know after only 60 days? So what's a 60 day money back guarantee other than a marketing tool for them to sell you a years supply? 
Does you doctor give you a money back guarantee? Who do you trust more doctor or telemarketer? We have Doctors and don't give a Guarantee, with 30 or 90 days supplies of products (we start with 30 days), adjusted to your response to the products. You're evaluated and products are added and/or subtracted, based on your response, budget and individual hair loss goals.. Telemarketer with a 60 day money back guarantee, no adjustment one product as the be all end all product for hair loss.

Why have a consultation with HLCC?


      The best answer is a few questions.

  1. Are you really concerned about your hair loss?

  2. Do you want to know how you can stop it and like a number of our patients get regrowth?

  3. Do you want to know the truth about hair loss (and not hear false promises)?

  4. Are you motivated enough to do something about your loss?

If you answered YES to any of these questions, you owe it to yourself to call and schedule a consultation!

FAQ's about consultations.

  1. Q: How long does it take to get a consultation appointment.  

    A:
    Usually 48-72 hours. But ask, sometimes we do have people reschedule at the last minute and we can fit you in sooner.
     

  2. Q: Do you have a doctor?

    A:
    Yes, Michael S. Albert, M.D.  is our medical director. Dr. ALbert cares for his clinets and understands hair loss, reseach and treatment off hair loss. We also have at least other Physicians on staff.

     

  3. Q: Do you have a medical staff besides the doctor?
    A:
    Yes, we also have a qualified medical staff consisting of a nurse (R.N.), a medical technologist, a consulting Trichologist (a Degree in the study of the hair and scalp) and two skilled professionals who are currently training in Trichology.
     

  4. Q: Do you have a Dermatologist?

    A:
    Our Doctor and Medical staff do an excellent job, but we always want our patients to receive the best possible total care.  So, if there is any suspicion of other kinds of Alopecia other than typical male or female pattern, we will refer you to a dermatologist for additional help. We always keep your best interest at the heart of our care.
     

  5. Q: Is this covered by Insurance?

    A:
    We cost less than if it was covered! Hair loss is generally deemed cosmetic and not covered because of this fact. Typical you would pay $15-25 co-pay everytimwe you visit your doctor(6-12 X=$90-$300) . We are currently (Feb 15th 1st to April 15th) bringing our consultation investment down from $60 to $30 one a year (making it similar to the Co-pays in some medical plans) but we also give you free monthly checkups with pictures each time at no cost. For the past 16 years, thousands of our clients have felt a $60 charge for a consult was a very good value. When was the last time your doctor spent 1 to 1.5 hour on an office visit with you?
     

  6. Q: What do I get for $60 $30?

    A:
    A 1 to 1.5 hour consultation on your hair loss consisting of a medical questionnaire, digital pictures and microscopic pictures and analysis. A scalp evaluation with a trained medical professional. In addition you will receive a customized treatment plan based solely on your individual hair loss needs and goals. In addition, you'll receive a monthly check up and monitoring plan free. This includes all future check ups (we like to see you every 1 to 2 months), digital pictures and microscopic pictures and analysis and scalp evaluations. We want you to know exactly and scientifically how your treatments are working so together we can adjust your treatment plan to how you respond to treatments (everybody responds a little differently). We then can adjust your plan to you hair loss needs, goals and budget. If a hair transplant or hair replacement seems like a viable option if treatment can't give you all the results you need, we can get you a free consultation for a Hair Transplant or Hair Replacement System.
     

  7. Q: What if I do nothing?

    A: 
    That is an option because hair loss is not a disease (it can be caused by some) however if it really bothers you call for a consultation to at least see all your options and hear the truth about hair loss not just the marketing commercials on TV.
