Hair loss affects two out of every three men, and one in five women. One of the easiest conditions to correct is male pattern baldness. It often begins with a receding hairline or thinning at the crown. It is progressive over a lifetime and is a major consideration for your surgeon. To allow for adequate healing hair replacement surgery frequently requires multiple grafts of hair being implanted during multiple sessions, generally spacing each session at least four months apart. These solutions can be highly effective but cost several thousands of dollars. There are new treatments available that can be done at home that involve supplements and liquids that can help promote healthy follicle growth and strengthen the hair you already have.

There’s no shortage of advertisements out there ready to offer solutions for balding men just type hair loss into any google or yahoo and see the results for yourself. Any late night program will advertise pills and creams that “guarantee” hair restoration. If hair loss is a concern to you then you need to first go see your Health Care Provider, they will be able to rule out the less common and potentially more serious causes of baldness. Approximately 50% of men will show some sign of male pattern baldness by age 50. You can elect to accept what nature has given you or seek treatment options that are currently available.
