What Is Your Opinion of Replacing Propecia With Avodart?

Peter Panagotacos, MD For over 25 years Dr. Peter Panagotacos has specialized in both surgical and medical treatments for hair loss at his dermatology practice in San Francisco. He is well respected within the medical community for his technical skill, conservative treatment philosophy, and surgical artistry. Today, with improvements in surgical techniques and advances in medicine, he believes that nearly everyone, male and female, youthful and elderly, can do something about their hair loss. During the initial consultation Dr. Panagotacos gains an understanding of each patient's expectations, while at the same time he explains the limits of what can be done. Actually, he explains what he is willing to do, for some other hair restoration treatment providers are more willing to perform individual procedures that promise faster and greater results, but with a substantial increase in risk of immediate hair loss, or abnormal appearance 10 to 20 years into the future. Each patient has only a very limited supply of "permanent" hair follicles, and if some of these are lost following a risky surgical procedure, they are gone forever. Furthermore, it is very difficult to predict the extent of future hair loss a patient may experience. The best doctors plan their treatment programs with consideration for the worst-case hair loss scenarios. Dr. Panagotacos is a member of the International Alliance of Hair Restoration Surgeons and recommended by the American Hair Loss Association. Visit Dr. Panagotaco's Website: www.hairdoc.com
