REWARD YOURSELF AND GET THE NEOGRAFT! The pictures tell the story!- Pittsburgh, PA
Brian Vassar Heil, MD
WORTH IT
I was SO HESITANT to do a hair restoration. I has researched online for what seemed like an eternity and weighed the cost versus what I could have bought with the money. My dad was bald by age 50 and it looked like I was headed down the same path. For me it was FACEBOOK that made me realize I wanted to do this. People were posting pictures and tagging me and I just couldn't believe how old I looked. It is so true isn't it, PICTURES DON'T LIE! I worked out of town during the week and found a doctor in Pittsburgh, PA (Dr. Brian Heil) who returned my call after hours and met me on the weekend to discuss the procedure. Quite frankly I am the biggest wimp when it comes to anything medical. The procedure was remarkably uneventful. I had my Neograft with 2900 grafts on a Thursday and took off Friday and Monday so I could have 4 days off to lay low. Like most anyone researching this procedure all the testimonials you read don't really compare to the "Before and After pictures". While I was hesitant to add pictures of my daughter I thought it was important to prove what words can't express. You can see she clearly looks one year older while I look 5-7 years younger (at least I think I do). This is after only one year! What a difference NeoGraft and Dr. Heil made for me! If your on the fence with a hair restoration procedure look closely at these pictures. Pick up the phone and give Brian a call, he is truly an expert with hair restoration. He has hundreds of local patients HE HAS PERSONALLY performed this procedure on, not a photo album of patients from all over the planet.
