It may not be what we want but hair loss is quite a normal bodily function. Men, women and children can all be affected and many millions worldwide are, but the list of reasons for this occurrence is very long. The medical term for hair loss is Alopecia. The most common type of hair loss in men is genetic; known as male pattern baldness, it affects close to 95 percent of males.

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. Exposure to chemicals or cosmetics, hormonal imbalance, stress, anxiety and mental tension are some of the other causes. Please note that if your hair follicles are undamaged then there is a good chance that your condition may only be temporary; it is only when the follicles are damaged that the problem can become permanent. Often considered as a purely male problem, in America women actually make up forty percent of people that suffer with some form of the condition.
The chances are a women will lose hair are increased as they age may be attributable to a thyroid condition. By the time they reach sixty, forty percent of women around the world will have experienced loss of some form or another. However, many women experience hair loss during and after pregnancy. If you always thought that patterned hereditary baldness was a male problem then you will be surprised to learn that in America approximately 30 million women also suffer from this condition.
A relatively new treatment is to surgically restore hair for sufferers of 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. It is now possible for women to enjoy this hair restoration treatment that men have been using but it is becoming popular for women who also wish to hide some scarring caused by previous facelifts.
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. While cosmetic surgery does include hair restoration as one of its sub-fields, this is a different form of cosmetic treatment available. If all other hair treatment therapies have failed then it’s possible that a surgical hair transplant might be the only permanent solution available for your hair loss condition.
