Hair Loss

Genetically determined hair loss is the most common form of baldness not caused by scarring.

In men, common baldness is characterised by hair loss initially from the top of the head and later from all parts of the upper scalp. The areas at the sides and back of the head are generally not affected, leaving just the crown without hair.

Baldness begins with massive hair loss and the replacement of healthy hairs with others that are thinner and paler. This is caused by the increasing atrophisation of the follicles, and eventually leads to a condition in which strong, healthy hair simply cannot be regenerated.

Hair Loss and Transplants

Hair transplants boost self-esteem and confidence. That’s why more than 18,000 men opt for hair transplants each year. Gone are the artificial looking hair plugs of yesteryear. Today’s refined hair transplant techniques are a mainstay of cosmetic surgery, and offer natural-looking hair restoration for both men and women.

Female Hair Loss

While most people think of baldness as a male problem, more than 30 million women in the United States suffer from excessive hair loss. There are many different causes of female hair loss, including genetics and over styling; but the good news is that there are just as many effective treatments available today including hair transplantation.
