Hair loss is something that a lot of people have to contend in their life time, male or female. Fortunately unlike in the past, there are now many ways to combat hair loss. There are many professional clinics spread over the country that can offer hair replacement therapies, hair restoration and hair transplants. Not only that clinics can offer individuals a range of advice on which treatment will suit them best regarding what type of hair loss they are experiencing.

So what causes hair loss and need for hair restoration? Well there are many attributing factors to hair loss and some are far more common than others. Malnutrition, stress and illness can all cause scalp disorders in both men and women. There is also a far more common heredity condition that occurs in both sexes and that is known as androgenetic alopecia and is better known as pattern baldness within men. Women can suffer from this disorder also, but unlike men that develop a receding hairline woman tend to suffer from thinning.

Research that has undergone into hair loss suggests that the problem is directly related to androgen hormones. These hormones trigger and are responsible for male sexual development before birth and at puberty. They are responsible for hair growth and research has also established that male pattern baldness is a variant of androgen gene receptor that has to be present for androgenetic alopecia to occur.

Of course there are outside variants that can cause hair loss such as individual’s diet, environment and general health yet most studies signify that genetic reasons are most likely. There are some other causes of reversible hair loss such as thyroid disease, iron deficiency, ‘crash dieting’, childbirth and certain medicines available on the market. All of those can be usually treated with medication as the scalp damage is not permanent.

Hair restoration surgery is a big step to combat hair loss but with the right clinic and advice there is a lot of help available. If you think that hair restoration is too severe an answer then there are other options that are available. Hair replacement devices and medications to thicken remaining hair are possible and can dramatically improve the situation for the individual. Hair loss did used to be a subject that people have found very difficult to speak about but as it is such a widespread problem now people should not feel embarrassed in asking for help. Why not get in contact with a professional today.
