Only 12 months after his hair transplant procedure with Dr. Rahal, Santi is in the best shape of his life – climbing mountains (picture: Mt. Kilimanjaro) and running marathons.
At only 25 years-old – in the prime of his youth – Santi hit rock bottom because of a receding hairline. The once popular, athletic, and confident charmer was crumbling into an unhappy and unhealthy social recluse. He just couldn’t bear the fear of his hair loss being discovered.
Only 12 months after Santi had his hair transplant with Dr. Rahal, the problems he had before – feeling unhealthy, unhappy and having no confidence – are no longer there. Santi has ran marathons, climbed mountains, traveled, and is in the best shape of his life. This switch to a healthier lifestyle is all because he got a second chance to have his hair back.
Tell me about yourself?
“I work in Investment Banking and live in Toronto, ON. Outside of work I’m a big sports fan. I train as a long distance runner, and I have run a couple of marathons. I’m also an avid soccer player. However, I was not always the healthy and active person you see today.
How did hair loss make you feel?
In my early twenties I started to lose my hair. It was a big bummer because I was young, active, and athletic. Thinning hair just did not suit my persona. Before my receding hairline, I was a happy-go-lucky type of guy. Then suddenly, everything changed. I lost all my confidence.
Get your confidence back through hair!
I felt like the old bald guy.
When I went out to social events, I worried if people would notice and comment about my hair. I would always be careful to make sure I wasn’t sitting under strong lighting or avoid situations where you could see my receding hairline. It became a real pain.
“I’m in the best shape of my life – climbing mountains – because my hair transplant gave me a second chance.”
I should have focused on enjoying the moment. Instead, I became consumed with worry about my hair loss. Sometimes when I talked to people, I would catch their eyes wondering upwards.
My outgoing lifestyle and personality came to a halt.
What made you decide to do something about it?
I felt awkward about the way I looked. This wasn’t how I wanted to end up. I could imagine hair loss having negative impacts on my future career. After all, it had already affected my lifestyle – eating unhealthily and staying indoors. All this had to change.

What type of hair loss treatment (plugs, drugs or rugs) have you tried?
For a few months, I tried Rogaine. This hair loss treatment was a pain in the butt. It made my hair all greasy. I realized it was not what I needed. I just had to stop. Breathe. Look around. I felt the only way to get out of this stagnation was to get a hair transplant.

What was it that convinced you to go to Dr. Rahal for your hair transplant?
I started doing my research online and saving money. I came up with a list of very good hair restoration surgeons. Eventually, I managed to narrow down this list based on reviews about the best hair transplant results.
Dr. Rahal just stood out.
I knew Dr. Rahal was the one for my procedure. I confided with a close friend about my decision. He is my age but has lost all his hair. We always talk together about our experiences with hair loss. He is also the only one (other than my mom) who knows about my procedure.
We both agreed that a hair transplant was the right choice to make. When I traveled to Ottawa to have this procedure, I found Dr. Rahal to be great! He knew exactly what he was doing, and he portrayed this air of confidence. It was definitely what I needed, he gave me reassurance.
Santi, just 12 months after his successful hair transplant with Dr. Rahal. He had 2617 grafts using FUE treatment on his temples, hairline and mid scalp. The results speak for themselves.
Since my hair transplant I have referred three people to Dr. Rahal through my hairdresser. She thought my hair looked so good that she wanted to help her other clients suffering with hair loss and point them in the right direction. These results speak for themselves.
Can anybody tell you’ve had a hair transplant?
No one can tell I had a hair transplant. My hair looks very natural. My mom is also super happy I did this, because she was ‘not down’ with a bald son at such a young age!

How do Dr. Rahal’s hair transplant results look and feel?
Having a hair transplant completely changed my outlook on life. Before, I had fallen out of shape, but after the procedure I got super healthy – climbing mountains and running marathons. I am probably in the best shape of my life now.
This procedure, for me, was a full packaged deal.
I got my hair back and that inspired me to become healthy and get into shape. My confidence is also back. I am socializing with my friends. We are big music fans and have attended lots of concerts and festivals throughout the summer. I have also traveled to Europe.
Do you have any advice for those considering a hair transplant?
My advice for any hair loss sufferer is, don’t wait. Make a decision, act now, and have a hair transplant. It really does make a massive difference both inwards and outwards. It really is the best decision I have ever made.
