I have put together this book in order for the public to understand the process of hair loss and hair transplants. Many people think that hair loss is the common male and female pattern baldness. In reality, they are nearly correct, as almost all cases are either male or female pattern baldness, or female unpatterned hair thinning.
Nevertheless, there are some rare endocrine abnormalities, scarring alopecias from a variety of causes, and other reasons why a person may have hair loss. That is why it is important to consult an experienced physician for proper diagnosis before deciding what you should do. The causes of female hair thinning are currently being revised.
In this book, we first walk you through the diagnostic process for each type of hair loss, and then describe the treatments available for the most common type of hair loss, pat- tern baldness.
Following that, we discuss in detail the process of hair transplantation and, finally, bring you a brief synopsis of some of the latest research regarding hair loss.
I hope you enjoy it.
