Steve Latham is definitely the man to go to for your hair care needs. I am a product of his wisdom…read moreand passion!!!
I am a real client, not staff, or anyone else.
My hair was falling out due to alopecia areata and massive amounts of scar tissue. I've had this scar tissue issue in other areas of my body. I think it's partially due to being deployed and being exposed to chemicals. So all of that has taken its toll on my body and my hair took a hit.
I never told Dr. Latham about my scar tissue issue. So by him being able to key in on that told me he was the real deal a long time ago .
I'm a 40yo, Black woman, with Locs. I've had my Locs for 12 years. So when other doctors told me to cut my hair because my "braids" were pulling my scalp, I refused. I didn't see the hair around my nape falling out. Only mainly my crown and edges.
So I had considered a hair transplant. I'd seen the Bosley commercials, and researched them. I read some horrible reviews. I researched several other doctors as well. However, everyone was either in Nashville or Birmingham. I wanted to stay local, if I could find a good doctor.
I saw Dr. Latham's infomercial one night while up late. I thought that his client seemed genuine. So I was intrigued. I did some research on him and saw mixed reviews. I felt like the ones that weren't favorable were more disgruntled than anything. It felt like because they didn't get their imagined results, that they wanted more and more work. That was my impression. I could be wrong . However, I made a decision to call him and schedule an appointment.
That was the beginning of this great hair documentary and future movie .
Dr. Latham was so caring from the VERY beginning. He never made me feel like he couldn't help me. I remember him examining my scalp. It was turning white in spots. I was so embarrassed, but he calmed my nerves and schooled me on what was happening in my head.
He looked at my nape and immediately said that I had a great "donor area." He's nerdy....and so am I . I could feel how excited he was to be able to work on my head because he truly knew he could help.
I scheduled a surgery visit, and we've made magic ever since.
Dr. Latham has done two hair transplants and multiple Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), injections. Yes, he does the PRP's as well. This is a process of using YOUR own plasma cells to aid in your hair regrowth. He injects these cells into your scalp. Sound painful? For me, it was only around my temples. But they'll get you as COMPLETELY numbed up as they can. And if you need to stop and get more, they will. There's no rush, they make you very comfortable .
Dr. Latham has also done the ALMI Procedure on me. Basically, he gave me a mini liposuction (which was a BONUS for me ). He took fat from my stomach and injected it into my scalp as well. Those fat cells also aid in your hair regrowth. I'm not a scientist, but there is truly a science to this, and in the almost 2 years of our hair journey, I've watched this whole evolution in real time.
Dr. Latham is the real deal. He stays educated and really gets excited about this stuff. That's the kind of person you want working on your head. Not someone that will just take your money, and sell you crap.
He's local, right off of University. He's always available. He always answers his phone. His staff is super friendly and helpful. They're good people that make yoi feel right at home .
In case you haven't guessed, I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Latham. Especially if you're a Black woman and have been losing your hair. I did NOT cut my locs. They are all the way down to my butt. I NEVER cut them through out this process.
Every situation is different. I'm not saying that my result will be your result. However, I highly recommend you get a consultation and at least meet with him. If you'd like to speak with me, I can make myself available for questions about my experience.
Thanks for reading this everyone .
