Welcome to your guide to hair transplant
Noticing signs of hair loss? Hair Transplant could be the way forward!
Having had problems in the past with hair loss, I know exactly the kind of frustration people go through when the problem starts to develop. That is why I built this site to help others decide whether hair transplant surgery is for them.
Hair loss is quite common, so don't worry if you are faced with it too. It usually becomes more common when you age, and it's not just males who experience hair loss. Look at your options at an early stage to see what hair restoration method is best for you.
If you are experiencing any signs of hair loss, it is worth considering hair transplant surgery. You should be aware of the other methods of hair restoration that are available, and make an educated decision based on the facts presented to you.

Under Bosley Hair Transplant+ Hair Transplant for Women+ Celebrity Hair Transplant+ Hair Transplant Cost+ Hair Transplant Surgery
Bosley hair transplant and hair loss replacement has offices in over 88 locations in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Chances are, there is a Bosley hair transplant office near where you live.
When searching for a hair transplant doctor, be sure that they follow strict guidelines. At Bosely hair transplants, the physicians and doctors are highly qualified to perform the Bosely hair restoration techniques. You also need to understand that hair transplants are truly a form of art. As stated on Bosley’s website found at: http://www.bosley.com, they say this about the hair transplant art:
“Like all aspects of hair restoration, hairline re-creation is only 10% - 20% the result of surgical skill. A great looking hair restoration result, however, is 80% - 90% the result of artistry, a skill which many surgeons – even many cosmetic surgeons – never develop. A physician who can produce a virtually undetectable hairline restoration must first know the classical rules of facial dimensions. He must also have developed a sculptor’s keen sense of balance and proportion and a portrait painter’s sense of refinement in blending and shading.”
So when choosing the location, company, and doctor that will be working on your hair transplant, make sure that they are like or even the using skilled artists at Bosley hair transplant themselves. You may be wondering…

Under Alopecia Areata and hair loss+ Hair Loss
What Is Alopecia Areata and is my hair loss a symptom of a very serious disease? Alopecia areata is believed to be an autoimmune disease, in which the immune system, which is configured to protect the body from foreign invaders such as viruses and bacteria, mistakenly attacks the hair follicles, the tiny cup-shaped structures from which hairs grow. This can lead to hair loss on the scalp and elsewhere.
In most cases, hair loss can happen and hair can come out in small, round patches about the size of a quarter. In many cases, the disease does not extend beyond a few bare patches. In some people, hair loss is more extensive. Although uncommon, the disease can progress to cause total loss of hair on the head (referred to as alopecia areata totalis) or complete loss of hair on the head, face, and body (alopecia areata universalis).
What Causes It?
In alopecia areata, immune system cells called white blood cells attack the rapidly growing cells in the hair follicles that make the hair. The affected hair follicles become small and drastically slow down hair production. Fortunately, the stem cells that continually supply the follicle with new cells do not seem to be targeted. So the follicle always has the potential to regrow hair.
Scientists do not know exactly why the hair follicles undergo these changes, but they suspect that a combination of genes may predispose some people to the disease. In those who are genetically predisposed, some type of trigger–perhaps a virus or something in the person’s environment–brings on the attack against the hair follicles.
Who Is Most Likely To Get It?
Alopecia areata affects an estimated four million Americans of both sexes and of all ages and ethnic backgrounds. It often begins in childhood.
If you have a close family member with the disease, your risk of developing it is slightly increased. If your family member lost his or her first patch of hair before age 30, the risk to other family members is greater. Overall, one in five people with the disease have a family member who has it as well.
Is My Hair Loss a Symptom of a Serious Disease?
Alopecia areata is not a life-threatening disease. It does not cause any physical pain, and people with the condition are generally healthy otherwise. But for most people, a disease that unpredictably affects their appearance the way alopecia areata does is a serious matter.
The effects of alopecia areata are primarily socially and emotionally disturbing. In alopecia universalis, however, loss of eyelashes and eyebrows and hair in the nose and ears can make the person more vulnerable to dust, germs, and foreign particles entering the eyes, nose, and ears.
Alopecia areata often occurs in people whose family members have other autoimmune diseases, such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, thyroid disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, pernicious anemia, or Addison’s disease. People who have alopecia areata do not usually have other autoimmune diseases, but they do have a higher occurrence of thyroid disease, atopic eczema, nasal allergies, and asthma.
Will My Hair Ever Grow Back?
There is every chance that your hair will regrow, but it may also fall out again. No one can predict when it might regrow or fall out. The course of the disease varies from person to person. Some people lose just a few patches of hair, then the hair regrows, and the condition never recurs. Other people continue to lose and regrow hair for many years. A few have major hair loss and lose all the hair on their head; some lose all the hair on their head, face, and body. Even in those who lose all their hair, the possibility for full regrowth remains.
In some, the initial hair regrowth is white, with a gradual return of the original hair color. In most, the regrown hair is ultimately the same color and texture as the original hair.
What Can I anticipate Next?
The course of alopecia areata is highly irregular, and the doubtfulness of what will happen next is probably the hardest and frustrating aspect of the disease. You may continue to lose hair, or your hair loss may stop. The hair you have lost may or may not grow back, and you may or may not continue to develop new bare patches.
How Is It Treated?
While there is neither a cure for alopecia areata nor drugs approved for its treatment, some people find that medications approved for other purposes can help hair grow back, at least temporarily. The following are some treatments for alopecia areata. Keep in mind that while these treatments may promote hair growth, none of them prevent new patches or actually cure the underlying disease. Consult your health care professional about the best option for you.
Corticosteroids–Corticosteroids are powerful anti-inflammatory drugs similar to a hormone called cortisol produced in the body. Because these drugs suppress the immune system if given orally, they are often used in the treatment of various autoimmune diseases, including alopecia areata. Corticosteroids may be administered in three ways for alopecia areata:
Local injections–Injections of steroids directly into hairless spots on the scalp and sometimes the brow and beard areas are effective in increasing hair growth in most people. It usually takes about 4 weeks for new hair growth to become visible. Injections deliver small amounts of cortisone to affected areas, avoiding the more serious side effects encountered with long-term oral use. The main side burdens of injections are transient pain, mild swelling, and sometimes changes in pigmentation, as well as small indentations in the skin that go away when injections are stopped.
Because injections can be painful, they may not be the preferred treatment for children. After 1 or 2 months, new hair growth usually becomes visible, and the injections usually have to be repeated monthly. The cortisone removes the confused immune cells and allows the hair to grow. Large areas cannot be treated, however, because the discomfort and the amount of medicine become too great and can result in side effects similar to those of the oral regimen.
Oral corticosteroids–Corticosteroids taken by mouth are a mainstay of treatment for many autoimmune diseases and may be used in more extensive alopecia areata. But because of the risk of side effects of oral corticosteroids, such as hypertension and cataracts, they are used only occasionally for alopecia areata and for shorter periods of time.
Topical ointments–Ointments or creams containing steroids rubbed directly onto the affected area are less traumatic than injections and, therefore, are sometimes preferred for children. However, corticosteroid ointments and creams alone are less effective than injections; they work best when combined with other topical treatments, such as minoxidil or anthralin.

Under Medications that cause hair loss+ Hair Loss
There are medications and drugs that can cause hair loss. Below is a list of some of those medications and drugs that could cause you hairloss:
allopurinol, arsenic, apirin, l-asparaginase, bismuth, bleomycin, boric acid, bromocriptine, carbamazepine, carbon monoxide, chlorambucil, chloramphenicol, cimetidine, colchicine, clofibrate, clomiphene citrate, coumarin anticoagulant, cyclophosphamide, cyproterone acetate, dactinomycin, danazol, diethyl carbamazepine, dipyridamole, doxorubicin, ethionamide, etoposide, etretinate, fenifibrate, gentamycin sulphate, guanethidine, heparin (telogen effluvium after 6-16 weeks ), hydroxychloroquine, ibuprofen, idoxuridine, indandione, indomethacin, interferon, iodine, isophosphamide, levamisole, levodopa, lithium, mepacrine, mercury, mesalazine, methisazone, methotrexate, methyl CCNU, methysurgide, metoprolol, mitomycin, mitrexantrone, morphine, nadolol, nafoxidine, nicotinic acid, nicotinyl alcohol, nitrofurantoin sodium, norethisterone, estrogens, oral contraceptives, para aminosalicylate, phenindione, phenprocoumon, potassium thiocyanate, procainamide, propanolol, selenium sulphide, sodium aurothiomalate, sodium valproate, spironolactone, sulphasalazine, tamoxifen, thalium acetate, thiamphenicol, terfenadine, trimethadione, troxidone, vasopressin, vincristine, vindesine, vitamin A, warfarin
Now it’s important that if you do notice that you are losing your hair around the same time starting on a new medication, it would be best to talk to your doctor and find out if hair loss is one of the known side effects of the medication or drug that you are taking.
Medications that cause hairloss as a side effect are not all known and the above list is not fully complete as new drugs and medications are launched every day. If you feel that your new medicine is causing you hairloss, again, contact your doctor or visit your local pharmacy and talk to someone there. In nearly each and every single case, your hair will grow back so this is not something that you need to be alarmed about. But again, talk to someone about the specific medication you are on that is causing hair loss.
