What are the general causes of hair loss?

The most common cause of hair loss is inheritance. Men and women inherit the gene for hair loss from either or both parents. Men are most commonly affected by the inherited gene as the hormone, testosterone, activates the genetic program causing loss of hair follicles. Currently there is no known method of stopping this type of hair loss. The age of onset, extent, and rate of hair loss vary from person to person. Severe illness, malnutrition, or vitamin deficiency can accelerate this process.
 

What is Alpecia Areata Disease?

Alpecia is a non life-threatening hair loss medical condition which causes hair to fall out in clumps and causes bald spots. The condition may also lead to complete hair loss. The causes are still uncertain but most doctors believe that the body's autoimmune system attacks its own hair follicles. Presently there is no cure to grow your hair back but there are cosmetic hair replacements that can conceal the hair loss with great success.
 

What is hair loss treatment?

It is a combination of using essential vitamins, minerals and nutraceuticals for complete hair health and in some cases used in conjunction with low level laser light therapy.
 

Does treatment work for everyone?

We have had fantastic results. After doing a scalp evaluation we can determine if you are a good candidate for hair loss therapy, or if you should consider non-surgical hair replacement or surgical hair restoration. The earlier you start treatment the better the chances of treating it with success.
 

What are the reasons for female hair loss?

Heredity, hormones and age cause hair loss. A woman’s genetic makeup determines if hair follicles are sensitive to the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT) causing the follicles to shrink. This “shrinkage” results in overall thinning with time. In addition, the aging process can weaken the hair follicle and consequently the hair shaft. This causes permanent thinning hair and balding.

What determines if I'm a good candidate for a surgical hair transplant?
