Hair Restoration Expert Dr. Bernardino Arocha Says Houston Hairlines Point to Stronger Economy
Strong Demand for Cosmetic Procedures Such as Hair Transplants a Leading Indicator of Economic Strength
May 2011
Houston Hair Restoration expert, Dr. Bernardino Arocha of Arocha
Hair Restoration (arochahairrestoration.com), says Houston's
hairlines are indicating the rebound in the economy is for real.
Dr. Arocha works with patients experiencing hair
loss, offering a range of hair restoration treatments, including
hair transplants, and says his practice is growing like a bouffant.
Strong demand is a clear sign that men and women are feeling more
confident financially and want that confidence reflected in their
appearance as well.
Between 2008, when the economy hit bottom, and the end of 2010,
Arocha Hair Restoration nearly doubled the number of procedures
performed. This outpaces what is happening nationally as well.
According to recently released statistics from the
American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), more than
1.6 million Americans underwent cosmetic surgery procedures last
year, an increase of nearly nine percent compared to 2009.
"There was so much uncertainty in 2008 and 2009, but now people are
feeling more secure and are ready to do something for themselves,"
said Dr. Arocha. "Another thing we've heard from patients is that
procedures such as hair restoration, which provide a youthful
appearance, can make them more attractive to employers in a job
market that does not typically regard age as an asset."
A 2009 study by The Cleveland Clinic charted a direct correlation
between demand for cosmetic surgery and trends in the three major
U.S. stock market indexes, the Dow, S&P 500 and NASDAQ.
Dr. Arocha also reports that Houston is seeing a major gender shift
with a rapidly growing number of females who are experiencing hair
loss choosing to restore their appearance through a hair transplant.
Currently, women make up approximately 20 percent of
Arocha Hair Restoration patients, and that number is growing
rapidly. Nationwide, according to the ASPS, women made up
approximately 30 percent of hair transplant patients, which was an
increase of 20 percent from 2009. Overall, nearly 19,000 hair
transplants were performed in 2010, an increase of seven percent
from 2009.
