Moderate hair loss on the other hand which is obviously rarer may simply be a matter of adjusting your diet. 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.

Hair loss is in fact more common with women as they age but it is often caused by a thyroid problem. 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. However, many women experience hair loss 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 new but a treatment that is becoming increasingly popular is surgical hair restoration; it is considered the ultimate solution for those who suffer with permanent hair loss. The treatment uses a technique to transplant hair follicles from a healthy area of the scalp to an area where the follicles are dead. Now the most common hair transplant treatment for men, it is carried out as an out-patient basis under local anesthetic. Facelift surgery can often leave scarring so many women are using the same hair transplant treatment that men are to disguise these scars; or when they have lost their hair for other reasons.

It is important to try and keep your appearance as close as possible to your original when having hair transplant therapy and not try to look like someone else. Health considerations should be taken into account and addressed before hair transplant treatment is carried out on anyone. Although hair restoration is considered a cosmetic treatment, there are different aspects involved it and must not be confused with other types of cosmetic procedure. 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.
