Objecting to Hair Loss Newest MHR All Star – John White

Monday, October 12th, 2009

In his own words, Attorney John White recounts his experience with hair loss and how he defended both his age and image by re-growing his very own hair naturally and permanently with MHR.



1. Discuss when you first began noticing your hair loss and your reaction to the sparse area.

I noticed in my first year of law school. Studying late one night, I looked in the mirror, and thought, “Am I imagining a receding hair line,” or am I just delirious from sleep deprivation—unfortunately neither—my hair line was starting to recede.

My reaction was disbelief. I was only 24! I was too young to be losing hair. I thought this only happened to “old people”. I was not happy.

2. As you began dealing with hair loss, what upset you the most?

The change in appearance. The “baldy” comments. Looking older than my actual age, even though I was taking care of myself.

3. In what ways did your hair loss limit your lifestyle?

None really…just was more conscious of my looks, in a negative light.

4. Discuss the emotions you felt on a daily basis when trying to deal with your hair loss.

Frustration, for several reasons: wanting too look like I used to when I had hair; seeing my friends who still had hair, and looked younger.

5. Discuss other treatments you tried to help solve or hide your hair loss.

None…had not heard, nor was I convinced, of anything that truly worked like MHR methods.

6. Discuss the origins of your hair loss (i.e. genetic, hormonal, disease, radiation, scarring, etc.)

Mostly genetic, with some stress induced hormonal component adding to it.

7. How do you feel about your results and how have your results changed your life, self-esteem, and lifestyle?

Extremely satisfied with the results. I constantly hear how young I look for my age—something I was not hearing before the procedure. Of course, hearing this, makes you “feel” younger, with more energy, vitality, and a more positive attitude.

8. There are many doctors who perform hair transplant surgery. Of all the hair restoration practices, why did you choose Medical Hair Restoration?

Reputation. I also had the chance to see others who had been treated by MHR, and personally seen the fantastic results. I truly could not believe the change in their looks after having the procedure performed. Seeing is believing.

9. Do you have any further comments you would like to add?

I am pleasantly surprised by the pride and concern that Drs. Leavitt and Barusco take in their work. They genuinely seem interested in my results, and continue to follow-up with how things are going, well beyond the normal realm of my expectations.
