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. Alopecia is the general medical term for hair loss of any type. The most common type of hair loss is called male pattern baldness and is responsible for nearly 95 percent of cases in men; it is also hereditary.

If your hair loss is more moderate, however, it’s possible your nutrition and diet have a something to do with it. 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. 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. 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. Also surprisingly, it is not only men that suffer with hereditary baldness because in the USA, around 30 million women also suffer problem.

A relatively new treatment is to surgically restore hair for sufferers of permanent hair loss. Hair follicles that are healthy and undamaged are taken from the scalp and transplanted to an area where the follicles have been damaged for whatever reason. 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.

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. Before hair restoration is undertaken, the patient’s whole-body status must be considered and any underlying health problems addressed. Even though hair restoration is a cosmetic procedure, aspects involved are different from other forms of cosmetic surgeries. 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.
