It is natural to lose hair and is part of the body’s way to renew itself. There are too many reasons to list here as causes for but be assured it affects many, many millions of men, women and children around the world. If you loss your hair, the correct medical term for this occurrence is Alopecia. Androgenic Alopecia may not be a term you have heard but it accounts for nearly ninety five out of one hundred cases of hair loss in men; it is usually referred to as Androgenic Alopecia, and it’s hereditary.

Hair Loss

Moderate hair loss on the other hand which is obviously rarer may simply be a matter of adjusting your diet. There are other reasons though, some of which you may know including: mental tension, stress, hormonal imbalance or perhaps an over exposure to chemicals or cosmetics. Please note that if your hair follicles are undamaged then there is a good chance that your condition may only be temporary; it is only when the follicles are damaged that the problem can become permanent. It is not, surprisingly, purely the domain of men as many people think; in a America for example, up to forty in every hundred cases are women.

Many women’s hair loss may be caused by a thyroid condition which seems to affect them more often later in life. By the age of sixty, four out of every ten women in the world will have experienced some loss. During and after a pregnancy is another time when women may experience a hair loss problem. Also surprisingly, it is not only men that suffer with hereditary baldness because in the USA, around 30 million women also suffer problem.

Surgical hair restoration is the ultimate solution for permanent hair loss restoration but is comparatively a new treatment approach. The treatment uses a technique to transplant hair follicles from a healthy area of the scalp to an area where the follicles are dead. Now the most common hair transplant treatment for men, it is carried out as an out-patient basis under local anesthetic. It is now possible for women to enjoy this hair restoration treatment that men have been using but it is becoming popular for women who also wish to hide some scarring caused by previous facelifts.

The best result you can go for is to try and recapture how you originally looked when you have hair transplant surgery and not attempt to change your appearance. Existing medical conditions could cause problems so these must be sorted out before any hair transplant treatment is considered. Hair restoration therapy comes under the general umbrella of cosmetic surgery but aspects of it are completely different form other cosmetic treatments. If all other hair treatment therapies have failed then it’s possible that a surgical hair transplant might be the only permanent solution available for your hair loss condition.
