The Facts About Hair Transplantation

We live in a society which views good hair as a sign of good health. Especially, for a woman, a long hair is a sign of her femininity. So it is really challenging to live in this society with alopecia or hair loss problems. Both men and women suffer from hair loss at some point of time. This leads to self- consciousness, frustration, change in appearance, embarrassment, and many other problems.

Therefore, when you observe more hair loss than people normally have and slowly hair becoming thinner, it would be beneficial to consult a specialist. They generally recommend a hair transplant.

THE HAIR TRANSPLANT TECHNIQUE:
