Baldness and Medical Hair Loss Restoration

Here you'll find hair restoration and hair loss treatement options.

Hair loss - also known as androgenic alopecia - affects some 60 million Americans, including 40 million men and 20 million women. In the case of male hair loss, male pattern balding is the most common type. The good news: medical hair restoration is now widely accepted and approved.

Hair Restoration Options

The effects of hair loss in women and men can be both psychological and social. Our culture favors the young, and people with hair loss are often passed over for employment and social memberships. The emotional effects of women's hair loss and male pattern baldness can also be severe in terms of lessened self-esteem and confidence. Fortunately, there is a broad range of successful hair loss treatments today, including topical applications, wigs and hairpieces, and medical hair transplantation.

Causes of Hair Loss

Everyone loses hair, little by little, up to 100 strands every day of their lives. However, if your hair loss exceeds your body's production of new hair, you may already fear the worst. For ages, hair loss in women and male pattern baldness was blamed on lifestyle and improper hair treatment. Several few years ago, scientists pinpointed hormonal and genetic factors as being the principal cause of balding. Once you know the details of your own physical make-up you can take steps to slow or stop hair loss. For many people with severe genetic predispositions, little short of surgical hair transplantation will cover extensive balding.

Types of Hair Loss in Men

Men lose their hair in different ways. Male pattern baldness is the most common, best-known type of male hair loss, but it isn't the only manner. You can begin to diagnose your own situation by measuring your receding hairline with the Norwood Scale. If your hairline is already receding, you can fight back with different remedies. If it's too late, then you might consider hair transplantation.

Hair Loss in Women

Men are not the only ones who suffer early hair loss. An estimated one in four American women - some 30 million of them -- has inherited genetic factors that lead to female hair loss and balding. While scientists have found that women lose their hair in a different manner than men with male pattern baldness, there is a definite inherited hormonal disorder that thins or depletes women's hair in predictable ways.

Hair Transplantation

Medical hair restoration has come a long way. If you suffer from male pattern baldness and other hair loss remedies such as drugs and topical treatments haven't worked, you might be a good candidate for hair transplantation. Hair transplantation is a minor surgical procedure where grafts of healthy hair are removed from areas of skin that are unaffected by male pattern baldness and are planted for growth on your head. After a three-month resting cycle, the transplanted hair sprouts and continues to grow through the rest of your life.
