Should I Choose A Hair Transplant Surgeon Based On Celebrity Endorsements


In this day and age, social media is king. Gone are the days of paid programming and late-night infomercials. Today, what we buy and what we value is based on how many likes or shares the person, place or thing receives.  In fact, some individuals make their living on social media as “influencers” but do they know what they’re talking about? Keep reading the article.

Contrary to popular belief celebrities/influencers do not have the inside scoop on who is performing the best surgeries. In fact, most celebrities are just like normal people except with disposable income. Most celebrities choose clinics based on marketing and advertising rather than research and results. The general public tends to admire celebrities because celebrities drive trends and fads. 

Unfortunately, most celebrities are ill-informed when it comes to hair transplant surgeons/clinics. Another factor to consider is the use of hair systems “toupees” or “wigs” in Hollywood. The amount of actors and actresses that use toupees or wigs is astounding. Most actors require an immediate solution to their baldness, there is no faster solution than a wig or toupee. The density a wig or toupee can provide is not possible through surgical hair restoration. This gives prospective patients unrealistic expectations. 

Anyone that is seriously considering a hair transplant should register on a popular hair loss forum like the hair restoration network. The hair loss forum is a perfect place to ask questions and interact with other hair loss sufferers. Members share their unbiased reviews, post their progress pictures and share theirs before and after photographs. This gives prospective patients a guide on the hair transplant process. 

Conclusion 
Celebrities and influencers may have the desired appearance or look, but that doesn’t mean they know what they’re talking about. Moreover, hair transplant surgeons/clinics pay for their endorsements. Thus, the endorsement is nothing more than an advertisement. Speaking with real hair loss sufferers and hair transplant patients is crucial for researching a hair transplant surgeon/clinic.
