Dr. Peterson is a board-certified dermatologist who started performing hair restoration surgery in the late 1970s. Because hair loss is a dermatological problem, this specialty background provides an in-depth understanding of hair anatomy and physiology. In addition, it provides an unique knowledge of the nuances of skin surface texture along with hair character, contour, and color. Most importantly, such specialty training provides a keen appreciation for the psychological factors related to self-image and appearance.
Dr. Peterson has performed hair restoration on thousands of men and women, many with hair loss problems identical to yours. While hair transplantation was basically in its infancy, he was among the first to accommodate the demand for "low visibility" while procedures were being done, as well as using minigrafting and micrografting exclusively en lieu of the larger grafts commonly used up to that time.
