Hair Loss Experts Visit UCLA Football to Educate Men About Male Pattern Hair Loss

The International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) has announced the launch of Get Your Head in the Game, a national consumer awareness program that will take place at select college football stadiums across the country in order to educate men about male pattern hair loss.

The program is sponsored by Merck & Co., Inc. The campaign will stop on September 30, 2006 at the Rose Bowl for UCLA's game against the Stanford Cardinal.

During the tour, college football fans will have an opportunity to:

-- Pick up important information about hair loss
-- Speak with an ISHRS physician about their hair loss situation
-- Vote for one of the five universities as the best tailgating school
-- Register for a chance to win a Segway® HT

"Early detection and intervention are important to treating and preventing future hair loss," said Paul T. Rose, MD, JD, president of the ISHRS. "This common medical condition should be evaluated and treated by a physician trained in hair loss. ISHRS physicians are particularly skilled at assisting people who experience hair loss."

A recent survey commissioned by the ISHRS showed more than three-quarters of men (77 percent) would be very or somewhat concerned about their hair loss if they were in their twenties and just starting out in their career and experiencing noticeable hair loss.

Hair loss is a common medical condition occurring in nearly two out of every three men and with the correct diagnosis and treatment program, many men can be helped. Concerned men should visit the Get Your Head in the Game booth at the UCLA football game on September 30th or visit http://www.hairlosshope.com .
