Hair Transplant

Hair Transplant - Straight Forward And Affordable But Still Cosmetic Surgery
By Mark Van Neem

Hair loss affects an estimated fifty million men and thirty million women in the United States alone. The cause is an excess of Dihydro-testosterone (DHT hormone) in certain areas of the scalp, mostly due to hereditary conditions.

Hair transplant is the only everlasting solution to all types of hair loss.

About 95 percent of all cases of hair loss are the result of androgenetic alopecia, also known as male pattern baldness in men.

By the time we are forty years old, forty percent of women and nearly forty percent of men have visible symptoms of hereditary hair loss.

By age fifty, fifty percent of both genders show signs of androgenetic alopecia. Hereditary hair loss can be inherited from the mother, the father, and even from both parents in combination.

Race neither increases nor decreases a person's likelihood of experiencing hereditary hair loss. Hereditary hair loss affects all ethnicities.

In recent years researchers are finding that environmental issues may also be causing both men and women to lose hair at an earlier age.

Hair transplantation is the best known method of hair restoration and also the method of hair restoration most often used to treat hair loss due to androgenetic alopecia.

The cosmetic surgery procedure of hair transplantation begins by removing a strip of hair follicles from the donor area, which is the horseshoe shaped fringe of hair on the lower back and sides of the head, the strip of healthy hair is then dissected into hundreds and even thousands of follicular units. These units, which contain from one to four hairs each, are then transplanted into the thinning or balding areas.
