Every time I turn on the television or open a magazine, it features a model with a beautiful body and a gorgeous head of hair. There are very few products marketed to women that don’t post a bombshell on the label. Unfortunately, the way products are marketed by the media has an effect on our body image, and often leaves women feeling like we don’t measure up.
According to research, body image doesn’t just concern women, the other half of the population is affected, as well. Deborah Schooler and L. Monique Ward authored “Average Joes: Men’s Relationships With Media, Real Bodies, and Sexuality” in which 184 male students were studied regarding their body image. They identified men who “consumed” more media had a difficult time appreciating their “real bodies”.
So what can men do to embrace their “real bodies”?
At Hair by Robotics, we see patients daily, and witness first-hand men’s body image concerns. Many men share that they feel powerless due to hair loss. Although they often struggle with this issue privately, patients state that restoring their hair allows them to feel they are taking back control. Getting their hair back gives men the ability to fix something that made them feel helpless.
There are lot of things out of our control. I strongly encourage patients – men and women – to take charge of what they can. Why not? If you can do something for yourself that will help you to feel more confident, then why not go for it? With Hair By Robotics, the risks are minimal. We offer a minimally invasive, out-patient procedure with minimal down time. Patient often say restoring their hair helps not only improved their self-image, but their self-esteem.
