The reason for your condition may be at your work place if you deal with chemicals or cosmetics but some others may as a consequence of personal situations such as stress, mental tension or a hormonal imbalance.

The process only requires local anesthesia and is carried out on an out-patient basis but has become one of the most regular forms of hair restoration for men. It is now possible for women to have hair transplants like men and is becoming increasingly popular for those women keen to hide scars from previous facelift surgery.
