Hair Loss Restoration By: Karen Anderson

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. Alopecia is the general medical term for hair loss of any type. The most common type of hair loss in men is genetic; known as male pattern baldness, it affects close to 95 percent of males.

Some people only loss a small amount of hair and this is often down to a poor diet and is worth checking with you specialist. The reason for your condition may be at your work place if you deal with chemicals or cosmetics but some others may as a consequence of personal situations such as stress, mental tension or a hormonal imbalance. Permanent loss usually occurs when the hair follicles themselves are damaged. Often mistakenly thought to be a strictly male disease, women actually make up forty percent of American sufferers.

Hair loss is in fact more common with women as they age but it is often caused by a thyroid problem. Although the number of women sufferers in the USA may seem high this figure equates around the world and by the time a woman reaches sixty, she has a forty percent chance of having a problem. Another period where women may suffer some hair loss that is not age related is during and after pregnancy. In the USA for example, around thirty million women suffer from female pattern hereditary baldness, something that is normally considered a male problem.

Surgical hair restoration is the ultimate solution for permanent hair loss restoration but is comparatively a new treatment approach. Simply put, it is the transplantation of healthy hair follicles from one area of the scalp to another. Now the most common hair transplant treatment for men, it is carried out as an out-patient basis under local anesthetic. Facelift surgery can often leave scarring so many women are using the same hair transplant treatment that men are to disguise these scars; or when they have lost their hair for other reasons.

Remember that the best outcome of hair restoration is to restore your appearance insofar as possible, not change it to make you look like someone else. Health considerations should be taken into account and addressed before hair transplant treatment is carried out on anyone. 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, and there are many out there, then it’s possible that a surgical hair transplant might be the only permanent solution available for your hair loss condition.
