Hair Loss (alopecia)
There are multiple causes of hair loss and a correct diagnosis is crucial. Androgenic alopecia, which is the most common balding process, is caused by miniaturization (shrinking) of the hair follicles. Treatments are available to stop or reverse this process. The best treatment for androgenic alopecia is hair transplant.
