HAIR LOSS CAUSES AND PREVENTION

Androgenetic Alopecia (Male Pattern Hair Loss) — is the most common type of hair loss, representing close to 95% of all cases of hairloss.

Mild to moderate male pattern hair loss affects about half of men by age 50. This type of hairloss results in a receding hairline and slow balding at the crown.

It is due to heredity and may depend on hormones. The condition can start as early as one's teens or 20s. Although there is no cure, treatment programs are available through your family physician, dermatologist, or other health-care professional.

Hair transplantation is a permanent solution to hair loss. A few procedures may be necessary before obtaining the desired effect. Hair transplants involve surgery and, although done under local anesthesia, may involve some pain and discomfort. In recent years, hair transplantation techniques have evolved and are recognized to provide cosmetically appealing results. Not everyone is an ideal candidate for hair transplants. Consult your physician to determine if this is the appropriate treatment procedure for you.
