Leading Causes of Hair Loss

You’ve begun to notice more hairs on the pillow, in your comb, maybe all over the house, and you’ve asked yourself, how long has this been going on?

Often, people panic at the sight of a receding hairline or thinning hair, and search for a hair loss treatment. Though it is important to realize that between 100-150 hairs are expected to fall out each and every day, when the amount increases, and your scalp appears more visible, or hairline further back than it used to be, you know that something has changed. Almost 2/3 of all men report experiencing male pattern baldness or hair thinning by the age of 50, and some begin to notice the signs as young as age 20. Women also report hair loss or female pattern baldness, though this type of hereditary balding is less common for females. Up to 50% of female hair loss patients say that they notice thinning of the hair, particularly at the crown, by age 50.

Though hair loss and thinning hair is a very common experience, in our beauty and youth-conscious culture, no one wants to accept a progressive loss of their once thick, full, youthful-looking hair. For many people, their hair is an important style accessory, an attractive feature and a sign of virile masculinity or an important component of feminine allure. However, the idea that thick hair is a sign of masculinity is completely false, as men suffering with androgenic alopecia have plenty of testosterone and a sensitivity to it.

Androgenic alopecia is the medical term used to describe genetic, hormone-related hair loss in men and women which is progressive and typically hereditary. For men especially, when their close family members experience baldness, they can likely guess that they will lose their hair too and the change can be subtle or result in complete baldness. Women with the same condition tend to see diffuse hair loss rather than bald spots and a horseshoe pattern of hair remaining at the back and sides. Instead, female clients come to us with concern that their hair is not as thick as it used to be, that their scalp is more visible so certain hairstyles such as hair parted in the middle, can accentuate the problem. Women will commonly notice a change in hair density for the first time after childbirth or as they enter menopause as these are times when drastic hormone shifts take place in the body.

If you are like many people, you are looking for a one-time, fast but effective solution to stop hair loss. You don’t want to deal with the disappointment of lackluster results or failed grafts because of poor technique, poor equipment and a lack of experience from your technician. These days visible scarring is not a necessity with hair transplants and you should be assured of a flawlessly natural-looking, virtually scar-less result as well. Only the experts know how to deliver high-end results in a field that is saturated with lesser, sub-optimal hair loss surgery options.
