Darling, I’m Hairy Again!

Hair loss woes are shared by many adult American men and women as soon as their 40^th birthday. By last estimates, the figure was a surprisingly high 50 %.

So what exactly causes hair loss or baldness in an individual?

Medical researchers hold a combination of ageing, emotional and mental stress, accidents, hormonal upsets and fluctuations, heredity and lifestyle to be some of the major factors that cause baldness. While almost all of these factors can be remedied by a hair transplant procedure, not all can be covered by health insurance.

Plastic surgeons have been carrying out varying types of hair transplantation procedures successfully for more than thirty years. Some of the hair transplant techniques that patients have been known to benefit from are punch grafts, mini-grafts, micro-grafts, strip-grafts, slit-grafts, scalp-reduction, etc.

All these techniques make use of the hair that is already present on the scalp of the patient’s head. But without sufficient and healthy hair growth a hair transplant technique cannot be performed.
