Hair loss is a natural part of the body’s process of renewal. The list of all the possible causes is exceedingly long but it is a common problem that affects millions of men, women, and children. The correct term for hair loss is Alopecia. Almost ninety five percent of cases of hair loss in men are hereditary and often referred to as male pattern baldness but the correct term is Androgenic Alopecia.

If your hair loss is more moderate, however, it’s possible your nutrition and diet have a something to do with it. Other reasons can the result of hormonal imbalance, stress or mental tension, chemicals or perhaps a cosmetic reaction. It is worth noting that only conditions that damage the follicles can make the loss 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. Pregnant women are sometimes susceptible to some hair loss often lasting until after the child is born. In the USA for example, around thirty million women suffer from female pattern hereditary baldness, something that is normally considered a male problem.

A new but a treatment that is becoming increasingly popular is surgical hair restoration; it is considered the ultimate solution for those who suffer with permanent hair loss. Healthy hair follicles are transplanted from one area of the scalp to an area where the hair follicles have died. Now the most common hair transplant treatment for men, it is carried out as an out-patient basis under local anesthetic. Many women are now deciding on hair transplant surgery as a method to hide scarring cause by facelifts for example.

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. A consideration before any hair transplant surgery is commenced is the physical and mental wellbeing of the recipient. Cosmetic Therapies cover a broad spectrum of treatments but hair transplant therapy, although lying within this same field, has aspects that are completely different to other forms of cosmetic surgery. Fortunately, the science of hair loss and hair restoration is constantly advancing, so if you do not respond to other medical treatments, surgical hair restoration may be the only truly permanent solution to baldness.
