Psychology and Hair Loss
Looking your best is integral to your confidence and self-esteem. When hair loss occurs, it can have a negative impact on how you see yourself. We are conditioned to see a full head of hair as healthy, luxurious, and youthful. Hair also helps us express something about our personalities: Through styling and coloring, we’re able to express ourselves. As we age, we can choose to keep a distinguished gray or white, or cover it up with hair dye. [Read more…] about Psychology and Hair Loss

What is The RHRLI Edge?
There are a few things that are more personal than undergoing a medical procedure and if the procedure is a hair transplant, that can be as personal as it gets. At RHRLI, we know you’re going to be somewhat apprehensive about your hair restoration procedure which is why we’re committed to creating the most comfortable patient experience you can find. It’s also why we’re proud to be the only hair loss treatment center on Long Island that carries the ARTAS® System, our state-of-the-art, minimally invasive solution to hair loss. It’s all part of The RHRLI Edge. We want you to understand why we’re the area’s top choice for hair restoration.
Everything You Need to Know About ARTAS®
Losing your hair can be overwhelming at times. It’s difficult because hair is connected to youth, physical appearance, and self-esteem. If the negative feelings that hair loss brings up aren’t enough of a problem, considering what to do about it can be just as stressful. Everywhere you look, it seems like someone is touting a treatment or cure for thinning hair so it’s hard to sort through what’s effective and what isn’t.
How Does Medication Affect My Hair?
You see them everywhere. They are in your email inbox and in advertisements placed on the back of magazines. They are even on late night television ads. It seems like everyone is pitching treatments for hair loss. Some involve medical procedures and some involve the use of medications. Some medications are legitimate, while some are totally worthless. But there’s so much noise out there, it’s hard to tell what works and what doesn’t.
How is Scalp Micropigmentation Done?
At RHRLI, we’re very proud of the permanent solution we provide for hair loss. It’s called the ARTAS® System and it is the most precise hair transplant procedure you can find on the market. But some patients do need to explore other options. Some patients are unable to undergo a full hair transplant because they don’t have enough donor hair. They may also have a heavily scarred area of their scalp that needs to be covered up. If you have areas where you’ve lost hair and it’s unable to grow back, RHRLI can help with a procedure called Scalp Micropigmentation.
