Men and women can start to lose hair at any age. While many think of hair loss as a problem associated with middle age, some people notice thinning hair as early as their twenties. A hair transplant can move healthy hair follicles to your thinning areas to provide fuller hair growth. Transplanted hair comes from your own scalp and will grow naturally in its new location.
What Causes Hair Loss?
Hair loss has many causes. The most common cause, androgenic alopecia, has a strong genetic basis and affects men and women. With this condition, men tend to lose their hair in a characteristic pattern with a receding hairline and hair loss on top of the head. Women will most often notice that hair has thinned around the temples and a widening part if you part your hair near the center.
