I’d Like a Career in the Field of Hair Loss – Hair Loss Information – Balding Blog

Doctor Rassman,

Two years of immersing myself in your blog and other medical literature has cultivated in me a real passion for the study of hair loss. I am still a college student and would like to know what academic decisions would be important for me in laying out a career path in hair research.

To be in the field of hair loss treatment and hair transplantation, you can either be a nurse, technician, or be a doctor. To be a hair transplant doctor you need to go to medical school (4 years). Afterwards, you need to finish residency (3-6 years). You can choose any residency such as dermatology or surgery. After the residency you would need to finish a fellowship (1 year) specializing in hair transplant surgery. If you wish to get into the field after college, send us an application. We train technicians, which can earn you a very good living when you are good at it. If you are considering pure research, you can major in biological sciences and pursue a graduate degree and specialize in the stem cell research and cloning.
