Dr. Briggs Cook And Modern Hair Restoration

It’s no secret that balding for men and women can be an undesirable and frustrating experience. Although balding is often out of their control, many don’t realize that going bald doesn’t have to be something we just live with. For many of Hollywood’s elite, hair restoration treatments like those offered by Dr. Briggs Cook have helped dramatically extend careers and improve self-confidence.

Cosmetic Vs. Necessary

To understand why Hollywood has seen a dramatic rise in the frequency of hair restoration treatments, we must first understand some of the fundamental principles of the human psyche. Going bald, unavoidable as it may be, sends certain signals about someone’s overall health.

One of the primary threats that baldness may imply is poor cardiovascular health. According to Doctor’s Health Press, while 95% of male pattern baldness is a result of common androgenic alopecia, the remaining 5% is actually an indication of underlying cardiovascular issues. These issues range from insulin resistance and high blood pressure all the way up to a dramatically increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Researchers note however that these risks are most common only with vertex baldness, which is the distinct development of a bald spot on the top of the head rather than a receding hairline.

Perhaps as some innate biological response to this subtle health indicator, humans are psychologically predisposed to look at bald men and women in a more negative light than their fully-haired counterparts. According to Diane Barth of Psychology Today, our hair (or lack thereof) is a strong indicator to those around us of our “physical and emotional well-being, sexual potency and desirability, and even social and financial status.” And all this is gathered from a condition that affects, by some estimates, as high as 85% of men.

Now consider the other side of this psychological coin. How does baldness affect those suffering from it? After treating hundreds of individuals with hair restoration techniques, Dr. Briggs Cook has found that hair loss directly corresponds to the confidence of those it affects. It is widely believed that a receding hairline results in a more aged appearance and reduced physical attractiveness, which can dramatically alter the self-image of those afflicted. For Hollywood’s elite, this could spell the end of a career, as they attempt to stay relevant in a business obsessed with beauty and youth.

How Hollywood Adapts

Now that we understand the underlying psychology of baldness, it should make sense why this issue is of particular concern for the various actors, celebrities, and business elite who call Hollywood home. These individuals often build a career off their appearance and confidence. Dr. Briggs Cook has made a career for himself, in part, by helping restore confidence through his innovative hair restoration treatments.

As Dr. Cook points out, hair restoration is not the same risky gamble it once was in the 80s and 90s. At one point in time, these procedures were considered expensive and risky, with many experiencing sub-par results that lacked a natural appearance. Dr. Briggs Cook on the other hand, like many modern surgeons, uses procedures that create results that are indistinguishable from the rest of your hair. He explains that modern hair restoration requires minimal down-time, looks natural, and is a permanent and safe way to restore your confidence. As one of the ONLY providers of the ARTAS Robotic System for hair restoration, Dr. Briggs Cook has stayed far ahead of other plastic surgeons.

Famous Success Stories

There are a few celebrities who have become the center of attention after famously regrowing their hair. This list includes A-Listers Like John Travolta, Matthew McConaughey, and Mel Gibson. Worth noting however, is that these are cases of success and not failure. These men are all well known for re-growing their hair, seemingly overnight. For those not in the constant limelight of the paparazzi, hair restoration could prove to be an effective and unnoticeable way to restore lost confidence and flourish in Hollywood society.
