MISSION AND PHILOSOPHY<\/h2>\n

At Kolstad Hair Restoratin, our philosophy is about making our patients happy, plain and simple<\/p>\n

All too often we have seen unfortunate hair transplant surgery results where the person doesn\u2019t end up looking younger or better\u2014but rather different. \u201cPlastic surgery should not look plastic,\u201d he says. The goal of every surgical endeavor is to achieve the best result without any telltale signs of having had surgery.<\/p>\n

Dr. Kolstad will meet each patient for an initial consultation since every individual will have different cosmetic surgery goals, as well as different characteristics. During your consultation, you will be given time to identify areas that you are seeking improvement.

Once your goals and concerns have been identified, Dr. Kolstad will guide you through a treatment strategy and allow you to choose which is best for you. He will not assume a paternalistic role and will never impose upon the patient.<\/p>\n

Dr. Kolstad believes that every single procedure, large or small, must be unique and reflect the individuality of the patient. There is no one laser fits all philosophy here.<\/p>\n<\/div>
