Questions & Answers with Dr. Peter Frost
Q & A with Peter G. Frost, M.B. Ch.B, FRCS (c)
What is your philosophy on hair restoration?
I believe that hair loss affects people in many different ways, and for some the effects are psychologically and emotionally
devastating. It is extremely gratifying to see the changes that hair restoration can make in people.
What should patients look for in a hair transplant physician?
I think patients should look for a doctor with an extensive background in hair restoration, as well as one who is concerned with
quality of care. I decided to make a career of hair restoration when I fi rst sought treatment for my own hair loss, which started in my
early twenties.
What can a patient expect in terms of a natural look and density?
A patient can expect a natural look with our new technology in follicular unit transplantation. It is important that I discuss the
patient’s expectations for density and so that we can make a plan to achieve the look he desires.
What inspired you to become a hair transplant physician?
In my twenties, I began experiencing hair loss and began seeking a solution for it. I was very inspired by the physicians who I met
with to discuss hair restoration.
What would you tell a patient considering hair transplant surgery?
I always tell my patients that they are very fortunate that we have the type of technology that we use today in hair transplantation.
The use of microscopes for follicular dissection has changed the way we do procedures, and has increased the ability to create a
natural hairline.
What is your approach to patient care?
I ensure that the patient is well cared for by me and my staff. From the moment he or she enters the surgical facility, the patient is the
most important person in the room.
How has hair loss affected you personally?
I was affected by hair loss as a very young man, and understand the effects that it can have on people. Having a hair transplant was
one of the best things I ever did for myself and I recommend it to those who are suffering in any way from hair loss.
Do you often work with patients who seek help due to undesirable results from older technologies?
Due to the technological advances in our fi eld, I do see patients who have undesirable results from older techniques. Fortunately, I
am able to help a large percentage of them to soften their frontal hairlines, to increase the density through our new microscopic
follicular unit transplantation.
Is it better to begin addressing hair loss early?
It is a much easier transition for patients to address hair loss when they notice it. Generally speaking, they have already lost 50% of
their hair. The topical treatments like EXT can be very valuable at this point, and can help patients to retain of their hair. This naturally
is helped by a small surgical procedure to increase the density where necessary.
“When you actually see the hair grow, you're amazed! You're watching it grow day by day from a thinner look to a fuller look until you can do the things you've always wanted to do with your hair: using different products, styling your hair differently…”
