Accelerate Your Hair Restoration
Decreasing Dormancy Phase after Hair Restoration

At Dr. Shapiro's Hair Institute we have recently discovered how to decrease the dormancy phase (the time it takes for the hair to start growing after a hair transplant, usually 3-6 months) with our patent pending and proprietary Accelerated Follicular Restoration™ (AFR™). Our study of 115 hair transplant patients showed that 100% of our patients who followed our protocols after the procedure had growth starting at 6 weeks to 2 months.

Dr. Shapiro presented his revolutionary new work on Anabolics affecting growth and regrowth after a hair transplant at the ISHRS meeting in Instanbul in 2011. Dr Shapiro was widely received by many hair transplant physicians from around the world who want to learn about AFR and his Anabolic Profile workup. See pictures from the convention.

If you are a hair transplant physician who wants to learn more information on this new aspect of hair transplantation click here.

If you are a patient who wants a consultation to see how AFR can help your hair loss click here.

How Does it Work?

AFR™ works on a simple, rarely considered, premise. The rate of hair growth is directly correlated to the quality of nutrition you receive. While some protein-based products (especially for weight training and weight loss) actually contribute to hair loss, Dr. Shapiro has developed a nutrition product that contributes to hair health and growth, while still being useful for overall nutrition, weight-training and weight-loss considerations.

In addition to the Help Hair Shake, Dr Shapiro reviews with his patients his Low Anabolic Profile Workup. Click here for the work up.

Meet these patients in person or any of the of patients who have had procedures with AFR.

Note: Results will vary based on number of sittings, hair texture, color, density, the number of grafts performed
and placement of the grafts and the amount of hair loss the patient has prior to the sitting.
Hair transplants are permanent but will not stop the progression of normal hair loss.
Although we have had good results we cannot guarantee that your hair transplant will grow in the accelerated time even with AFR.
