The short answer is that it depends.  The best hair replacement or treatment method is different for different people. A variety of factors must be considered, including your degree of hair loss, your level of physical activity, the type of hairstyle you desire, and other factors. Not everyone is a good candidate for every option. Since each person has different needs and expectations, we have committed to educating the public by offering Free, No-Obligation Consultations. Each consultation is held in a relaxing and private office setting, with a trained and experienced hair loss professional.

There are many non-invasive options available to you. The HRI products assist in hair loss prevention and treatment for men and women. 

You may consider supplementing your use of these products with a non-invasive procedure such as the Folligraft procedure. This is a type of procedure where we can blend new hair in with your own for an identical match. That can be accomplished gradually or a finished result within a few hours. To learn more about this procedure, please schedule a consultation at myhairlossclinic.com. 

With aging, the average man or woman experiences a normal amount of hair loss, which is characterized as about 100 hairs per day. Advanced hair loss is different from someone’s typical shedding.

With advanced hair loss, hair follicles become deactivated and fall out at an increased rate. At the same time, the body is not allowing those hairs to be replaced. This causes baldness in spots that expose the scalp. Researchers have categorized the four main causes of hair loss: genetics, stress, autoimmune response and chemical damage.

Androgenetic Alopecia

Of the various men's hair loss causes, the causes of baldness that are the most common in men include something called Androgenetic Alopecia or genetically induced hair loss. Although the exact cause of male pattern baldness and female pattern baldness is unknown, researchers do see this natural, age-related change in the body tied directly to the body’s androgen hormones. The more androgen hormones a person has, the more hair loss occurs. The opposite is also true.

The androgen hormones appear to be genetically related. In fact, it is estimated that 95% of hair loss is related to genetics. Older male relatives, especially maternal relatives, give individuals a general idea of how their own hair loss will progress. The condition generally begins at puberty and gradually increases with age.

Alopecia Areata

Patches of baldness in circular patterns—especially on the top, rear of the scalp—is known as Alopecia Areata. Affecting about one in every 100 people in the U.S., Alopecia Areata is seen as an autoimmune disease in which the body’s own antibodies attack itself. When the antibodies attack the hair follicle, the hair falls out.

More than one quarter of those experiencing this type of autoimmune hair loss will re-grow hair. About 33%, though, can experience a relapse of this condition.

Stress and Hair Loss

Stress can trigger the hair follicles to convert from their typical growth phase to a resting phase where the follicle lets go of current hair and doesn’t replace it. The condition, known as Telogen Effluvium, is second only to Androgenti Capopecia in causing hair loss. When the stress is eliminated, the hair follicle allows a replacement hair to grow.

A subset of stress on the body is stress on the hair itself. Traction Alopecia is hair loss due to pulling on it, such as excessive brushing, washing or styling. Trichotillomania, on the other hand, is the direct pulling out of healthy hair.

Chemical Damage

Because of certain medications, disease treatments and other chemicals, Anagen Effluvium is a form of hair loss in which the hair follicle is destroyed. Most commonly, this is seen in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy treatment.

The drugs and chemicals are injected into the body to kill bad cells that cause diseases, but what scientists think is happening is that, in doing so, some good cells are destroyed, such as those feeding the hair follicles. When the disease treatment stops, hair commonly comes back.

he causes of hair loss in men and women can generally be the same. However, stress, autoimmune and chemical damage—not genetics—play a larger role in baldness in women.

The other main difference in male baldness and female baldness is the pattern. The male traditionally loses hair beginning at the hairline and receding along the top of the head to the back of the scalp, leaving hair on the sides and very back of the head.

Females, on the other hand, are rarely bald like men. Baldness in women is actually more of a hair thinning, especially around the forehead and scalp. Other women can experience hair loss in various places around the head, thus making it difficult to spot female baldness.

Because estrogen blocks the hormone that causes hair loss, the onset of menopause is when 37% of women experience an increase in thinning hair. In fact, 80- and 90-year-old women often see hair growth stop completely.

Emotional Impact on Women with Female Pattern Thinning and Hair Loss

Unfortunately, the impact of female hair loss is more significant in women than in men. Because hair loss in men is more common, it is socially accepted—even expected—to see balding men. It’s different with women and baldness. Studies have shown that women view their hair loss as a devastating loss. Their self-esteem is lower, thus affecting personal relationships.

That’s because much of a woman’s social acceptance is, in theory, tied to her hair. Unlike men, who can turn to many others who share in his hair loss experience, women feel themselves becoming outcasts. Women often feel that female hair loss is abnormal. Many never find anyone to discuss the issue with, and, therefore, they suffer.

 Yes, the purpose of the Hair Restoration Institute of Minnesota procedures is to allow you to do the things that you stopped doing because of your hair loss, such as swimming, boating, water skiing and even riding your Harley without getting sunburn on the top of your head.

That is just one of the great things about your new hair. You can comb your hair anyway you want, even straight back.

Almost every person with Male Pattern Baldness (MPB) is a candidate for hair transplantation, however the patient’s expectations and objectives must be realistic. He or she must understand the limitations of the procedure and agree on the type of pattern that is going to be placed on his or her head. The single most important factor to consider is how bald the patient will become at a later age. With this in mind, the doctor can plan the most natural looking hair line and shape which will maintain the most undetectable and natural hairstyle.
