Hair loss, no matter how undesirable, is inevitable and quite natural. Men, women and children can all be affected and many millions worldwide are, but the list of reasons for this occurrence is very long. Alopecia is the general medical term for hair loss of any type. 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.

What most people don’t know that is if your hair loss is only moderate, it may be that your eating habits are causing the problem and your diet needs to be assessed. 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. No matter what the reason, it is worth remembering that it is only if the hair follicles are damaged that can make the condition permanent. 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. By the age of sixty, four out of every ten women in the world will have experienced some loss. Some women also have a hair loss problem when they are pregnant; often lasting many months 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.

The best solution if you have permanent hair loss is to have it surgically restored and although a relatively new treatment has achieved considerable success. It involves the process of transplanting hair follicles from one area of the scalp to another. Hair transplants have become the most popular form of hair restoration treatment for men with the entire procedure done under local anesthetic and on an out-patient basis. It is now possible for women to have hair transplants like men and is becoming increasingly popular for those women keen to hide scars from previous facelift surgery.

When you are having hair transplant therapy it may be tempting to try and change your appearance but the best course of action is to try and stay as much like your original appearance. A consideration before any hair transplant surgery is commenced is the physical and mental wellbeing of the recipient. Although hair restoration is considered a cosmetic treatment, there are different aspects involved it and must not be confused with other types of cosmetic procedure. Although the field of hair restoration treatment continues to move forward with new discoveries, there is no guarantee that any will work for you and surgical hair transplants might be your only option to solving your hair loss problem.
