Sustainable Hair Restoration, by Dr Young.


Dr Young’s Sustainable Hair Restoration: An Inconvenient Truth for Hair Loss

While Al Gore warned the world about climate change, Dr Young is quietly tackling another crisis—one follicle at a time.

Just like the environment, your scalp ecosystem matters. At our clinic, sustainable hair restoration means long-term thinking:

✔️ Ethical harvesting of donor hair

✔️ Minimising trauma to the scalp

✔️ Avoiding overharvesting or overpromising

✔️ Supporting ongoing scalp health with regenerative treatments

Hair restoration doesn’t need to be extreme or artificial. Like protecting the planet, it’s about preservation over exploitation.

This is a new paradigm- Sustainable Hair Restoration, created by Dr Young.

A Contrast to the Industry Norm

The modern aesthetic industry, like industrial development in Gore’s documentary, can be aggressive, extractive, and often short-sighted. It chases results fast—with little thought for long-term health.

  • Overharvesting donor areas can cause scarring and leave nothing for future correction.
  • Unrealistic expectations drive people to clinics promising dense coverage with no discussion of future thinning.
  • Unsustainable surgery techniques can destroy the scalp’s natural blood supply or cause poor graft survival.

Dr Young believes that hair restoration should never come at the expense of your long-term hair health. Like protecting the earth, it requires balance, restraint, and foresight.

A Greener Future for Your Scalp

Dr Young incorporates regenerative techniques such as:

  • Scalp PRP to promote vascular health and support newly implanted grafts
  • Exosome and growth factor treatments for hair density maintenance
  • Low-level laser therapy to stimulate follicles without drugs
  • Careful mapping of hair loss progression to avoid “islands” of transplanted hair surrounded by balding areas

The result? Not just more hair—but a healthier environment for your hair to thrive in, now and into the future.

"Think Global, Act Local"—Even On Your Scalp

Al Gore urged us to take personal responsibility: change light bulbs, drive less, plant trees. In hair restoration, it’s the same idea:

  • Choose a doctor who values ethical, responsible care
  • Understand that hair is finite, and overusing donor areas is not worth short-term gain
  • Be open to combination therapies that support the health of native and transplanted follicles
  • Focus on longevity and quality, not just quantity
The Takeaway

Hair loss may not be a global crisis—but to many, it affects confidence, identity, and wellbeing. Like the planet, your scalp has limited resources. Overwork it, and you’re left with damage that’s hard to reverse.

Dr Young believes in a more thoughtful path: Sustainable Hair Restoration that doesn’t just promise a quick fix but builds a healthier, more natural future—one follicle at a time.

Just like climate change, the best time to act is early. The second-best time? Now.

You don’t need a global summit to start reversing damage—just a personalised plan, grounded in evidence, artistry and care.

Dr Young believes the future of hair restoration is responsible, natural-looking, and above all—sustainable.


Please note, Dr Young's consultation takes more than 30 minutes, there are many points to assess in your medical history, past hair loss surgery and medication uses, and then a dermatoscopic examination of your donor and hair loss areas, and then this is where the plan will begin.

A full plan may take a few more days to elucidate the optimal plan.

We are thorough and this process reduces miscommunication and also we look at the details, that count.
