Permanent Hair-Loss Solution

Natural-looking hair transplant results are possible today thanks to advancements in the procedure, with improvements including placing a few healthy hairs at a time and creating a more natural-looking hairline. Men and women are both good candidates for hair transplants, provided they have enough healthy hair on their scalp that can be transplanted and have the ability to grow hair on the thinning area of the scalp. Most transplants take between four and eight hours and only require anesthesia that numbs the scalp. Results can typically be seen between six and nine months after surgery, or sometimes 12 months.

Suicide Prevention – Where to Begin?

Navigating the struggle of suicide prevention involves seeking
support from friends, family, and professionals. Finding
helpful tools such as the Embracing Life App (Scan the QR
code in our Ad) or finding other immediate assistance sources
are key to prevention, along with therapy which provides
coping strategies, and staying connected to help combat
isolation. Educate yourself about warning signs, whether it be
for yourself, a loved one, a child in need, create a safety plan,
encourage professional help. Remember, you are NOT alone—
reach out. Prioritize safety, seek help, and work towards a
healthier, more hopeful tomorrow. Embrace life!

It plays a key role in patients and families making informed decisions, ensuring the patient’s wishes, comfort and dignity during the transition.
