Hair restoration surgery is the best option in restoring hair to balding areas. Hair loss is a common problem for men and also for some women. In fact 40 million men and 20 million women experience hair loss.

The average human has 100,000 strands of hair and loses between 50 and 150 strands each day. When hair loss exceeds hair growth, balding occurs. Hair loss is caused by genetics 95 percent of the time, but other factors such as stress, illness, or head trauma may also contribute.

Hair Restoration Surgery Uses

Hair restoration surgery is often used as a last resort in hair loss treatments. Many will spend years and a large amount of money on "miracle products" that supposedly inhibit hair loss and stimulate hair re-growth. These products are only helpful temporarily, and do not, in fact, stimulate hair re-growth.

Drugs, such as Propecia, may be prescribed to stop future hair loss. Yet, hair restoration surgery is the only real solution in restoring a full head of hair to a balding individual. The procedure can be expensive, but patients are typically thrilled with the permanent results and their self-confidence improves dramatically.
