When you close your eyes and picture Los Angeles—a city of about 4 million people—what comes to mind? Glitz and glamour. Boutique shopping malls. Elite dining establishments. Nightclubs. And movies. Someone hundred years of celluloid storytelling magic. Stars from Hollywood’s silent era, ranging from Clara Bow to Rudolph Valentino to Mary Pickford passed their torches on to those of the famed Golden Age, such as Cary Grant, Irene Dunne, and Joan Fontaine. In the 70s, directors like George Lucas and Steven Spielberg showed movie-goers a new way to look at science fiction. The 80s offered up a lot of teen comedies, featuring stars like Molly Ringwald, John Cusak, and Jennifer Jason Leigh. There were also plenty of testosterone-fueled action pictures from that time, such as The Terminator and Die Hard. Children’s movies have been around for as long as there have been movies, but in the 90s they really took off (Toy Story, The Parent Trap remake, etc.), and continue to be popular today.
But when you think of Los Angeles, you probably don’t think of hair transplants. To hear this, most hair transplant clinics would likely be tempted toward despondency, though not for long. Lack of awareness for the literally thousands of people walking around The City of Angels today who have undergone a hair transplant would, for those clinics, be a very good thing. Because modern methodology in the field ensures patients that their secret shall never escape. Los Angeles hair transplants are natural. Healthy follicular units from a donor area of the patient’s body are transferred to a recipient area, where they grow in fully over a period of about one year.
For at least a couple of decades now, LA has been a hot spot for hair transplants. Reasons for this rather facilitative label can vary, but from the tops of our heads (sorry) we can name a few.
To get a leg up in Los Angeles, it helps to look young
LA is a trendy town, always in tune with the latest styles, technology, and culture
The fine weather here tends to draw people out of doors, where they will be seen (and somewhat unfortunately, judged) by many
The chief determinant may be the same here as it is for the rest of the world: Most men and women simply cannot cozy up to the idea of losing their hair. It’s tough to blame them. And each year, more and more of them are finding their way to Tinseltown for a hair transplant.
Contemporary Treatment in a Fast Town
Scientists construct theories, and from those theories, pursue facts. Development follows ideas; testing follows development. And when those tests prove successful, the development may receive licensing for exposure to the world. Introductions get made in the form of lectures and ostentatious unveilings. Cities all over the globe play host to these events. In San Francisco, business tycoon Steve Jobs showed off Apple’s first iPhone (January, 2007). In Hawthorne, California, Tesla CEO Elon Musk introduced his motor company’s first electric pick-up truck (November, 2019). In Tokyo, Nintendo first revealed the technical details of their latest portable gaming console, the Switch (January 13, 2017).
Even when big unveilings don’t happen to take place in Los Angeles, the city remains a prominent hub for getting the word out. In the field of hair transplant technology, things are no different. Major breakthroughs like robotic follicular unit extraction and strip scar revision surgery became popular in LA very quickly after their introduction.
A big reason so many people choose Los Angeles as the place to get their hair transplant is indeed connected to how it makes so many different forms of the process available. Forms such as:
Robotic FUE
The Celebrity Hair Transplant
The Beard to Scalp Hair Transplant
The Transgender Hair Transplant
The Power Hairline
Nor is it only patients who have answered the city’s bell. Of course, board certified surgeons had to have shown up here first. And they did just that, in veritable droves. It’s a fine place to set up shop. The social circuit alone provides LA with great credibility and appeal. This is a town people are excited to see, hair transplants notwithstanding.
The weather is just about perfect—rarely too hot or too cold, but just right. The creative industry is virtually overflowing with talent, young and old. There are over 800 museums and art galleries in Los Angeles County. LA is also a cultural melting pot. To walk its streets means to see friendly people from all over the world. And most of all, Los Angeles is a place where everything a person can possibly dream seems...well, possible.
Los Angeles hair transplants haven’t existed in the form of dreams for a long time. They’re quite real, accompanied by success rates that seldom fail to please. To choose LA for your hair transplant is to choose wisely. Your results will be natural, undetectable, and like the city itself, quite beautiful indeed.
