Hair loss replacement

If you suffer from baldness or thinning hair, hair replacement is a hair loss treatment worth looking into.

Normally, hair loss is caused by heredity, hormones and age. Genetic makeup determines if hair follicles are sensitive to the Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) hormone, causing them to shrink.

This "shrinkage" results in overall thinning hair with time. In addition, the aging process can weaken the hair follicle and consequently the hair shaft. This causes thinning hair and balding - permanent hair loss.

Hair Replacement surgery simply transplants hair follicles from healthy "donor areas" to where you don't have hair. What sets noticeable hair replacements from undetectable hair replacements is the quantity of micro-grafts used and the artistic technique to blend the hair replacement unit and micro-grafts into the irregular patterns of natural hair.

Medical Hair Restoration also performs an average of 40 to 60 cases of corrective hair replacement surgeries each month. MHR has developed methods by which a poor hair transplant can be modified into a desirable result.

Millions of women suffer from many varieties of hair loss. The great news is that thousands are taking control, taking their lives back, and growing to love themselves again through the life-changing results of surgical hair transplants - the only permanent hair loss solution.

The pattern of hair loss must be determined before a hair replacement treatment plan is formed. The Ludwig classification system for hair loss is shown. Since female balding patterns vary, the common classifications are listed in a range from slight hair loss (Type 1) to severe hair loss (Type 5).

The Ludwig classifications

	Type 1 Generalized thinning with discrete areas of alopecia in the frontal and crown vertex area.
	Type 2 Global diffuse thinning without discrete areas of alopecia.
	Type 3 Frontal temporal recession typically seen in male pattern alopecia.
	Type 4 Scaring alopecia.
	Type 5 Medical and hormonal causes (usually not surgically treated)
