Hair Loss
Hair loss is a condition that can affect the hair all over your body, although it tends to be most noticeable on the scalp, and can be something that is either temporary or permanent. It’s something that at some point is likely to affect the vast majority of the population around the world, whether it’s a small amount of loss that is considered as manageable or a larger amount that could lead to full scale baldness.
It isn’t specific to a certain gender, although the pattern of hair loss tends to be different depending on this, and affects women just as much as it affects men, although it does tend to be more common within men.
Hair loss can be the result of genetics, hormones, medical conditions or simply just part of the process of ageing, but no matter what the cause is it’s capable of causing a hugely detrimental effect to the mental health of a patient. However, once the root cause of the hair loss has been determined the solution is then possible to be chosen.

What causes hair loss?
Hair loss is something that is completely normal, with most people losing between 50 to 100 hairs daily without noticing. Permanent hair loss can be caused by a number of things such as medical conditions, hormone changes, as a hereditary problem or even just as part of the natural process of ageing. There is also temporary hair loss which is often caused by stress, illness, deficiences or even treatment for certain conditions.
Unfortunately, what this means is that it’s highly likely to effect the vast majority of people at some point within their lifetimes (but it should be said that it’s much more common in men than it is in women).
How is hair loss treated?
Hair loss is able to be treated using a number of different methods which are designed to target hair loss that occurs for a number of different reasons. For example, hereditary hair loss is different to hormonal hair loss and the method of treatment used is directly reflected with this.
Starting out small, there are a range of products and medications that can be used to fight the signs of hair loss. Thinks such as hair building fibres to mask any gappy areas and create depth, hair growth serums to create the perfect environment for hair to grow and hair loss gummies to give you the right combination of vitamins and minerals for hair to grow strong can all be helpful to fight hair loss in its early stages.
The next step up from products and medication would be PRP hair therapy and scalp micropigmentation, which are for different ends of the hair loss spectrum. PRP hair therapy is designed to use the naturally occurring growth factors within the blood to heal and strengthen the hair follicles, whereas scalp micropigmentation is performed on an already bald scalp to give the appearance of freshly shaven hair.
Lastly are hair transplant surgeries, which are often seen as the last resort when it comes to fighting hair loss but they are the most effective solution and are the only guaranteed solution to completely stop hair loss. By surgically transplanting hair follicles from a donor area (generally the rear of the scalp where hair loss affects less), transplant surgery is able to completely change the appearance of the scalp.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why am I losing so much hair?
It’s very hard to tell what the exact reason behind hair loss is without taking a deeper look beneath the surface, but some possible causes to a sudden amount of loss are stress, poor diet or even a hidden medical condition. Everyone experiences shedding (although it’s more noticeable for those with longer hair) and it’s generally in the region of 50 to 100 hairs per day.
Do hair transplants hurt?
Hair transplants are performed under local anaesthetic to ensure that any treated sites aren’t subject to high levels of pain. It’s entirely possible that the injections to administer the anaesthetic can cause some discomfort to the scalp, but during the transplant procedure itself you should feel no pain or discomfort.
Can hair grow back after hair loss?
It depends on the type of hair loss that is being experienced by the individual in question. For example, hair loss due to a poor diet can be combatted and rectified by changing the diet to include more of the right foods, whereas hereditary hair loss is almost impossible to combat on its own.
What is male pattern baldness?
Male pattern baldness tends to affect men in their late twenties and early thirties, although this is generalised and can affect men much younger than this.
It is caused by a hormone imbalance caused by dihyrdotestosterone which affects the natural testosterone within the body. The visible manifestation of male pattern baldness is shown as a thinning of the hair around the temples which extends over the top of the scalp towards the rear of the head.
Where does hair loss usually start?
Hair loss tends to start with noticeable thinning around the temples and the rear of the scalp (which is more commonly known as your crown).
