20 Regional Men, Women Vie for Free Hair Restoration Surgery, Rejuvenation Package, Job Search Help – Survey Finds Majority Would Rather Have More Hair Than Money
Cranston, Rhode Island – Dr. Robert Leonard, Founder and Chief Surgeon of Leonard Hair Transplant Associates today announced that in honor of the practice’s 20th anniversary and his 50th birthday, he will hold a contest for unemployed residents of Rhode Island and Massachusetts to help improve their physical appearance and employment status this summer.
Beginning June 15, unemployed RI and MA residents will be eligible to win a first prize package of free hair restoration surgery and Botox or facial filler – or a runner-up package of six months of free low level laser light therapy (to stabilize hair loss progression and promote re-growth) and Botox or facial filler – services valued at over $10K. Dr. Leonard will select 20 finalists – all of whom will be profiled publicly as a means of aiding their employment search. The public will then vote to help narrow the selection to two winners.
According to a new online survey conducted by the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS), 59.8 percent of people who were asked whether they would rather have more hair, money or friends, chose more hair. An estimated 80 million American men and women suffer from male or female pattern hair loss.
“We’re halfway through 2009, and the current difficult economic climate has created a very challenging job market for Americans of all ages,” said Dr. Leonard. “Unemployment rates are on the rise, and history has shown that positions are often offered to candidates who appear younger, healthier and more energetic. First impressions are everything, and it’s never been so important to ensure that physical appearance doesn’t detract from a person’s strong credentials and ability to compete, rejoin the workforce, and regain a healthier, more balanced lifestyle.”
“Even in this terrible economy, men and women are concerned about their appearance and battling low self confidence every day,” added Dr. Leonard. “For a job seeker, looking and feeling better – whether through hair restoration or helpful non-surgical treatments – can make all the difference.”
