Hair Loss
Androgenetic alopecia, commonly known as male pattern baldness is the most common form of hair loss affecting both men an women. Currently there are only two FDA approved medications to treat the condition, and of course surgical intervention. While hair transplant surgery can be an extremely effective and satisfying treatment for many, not all people suffering from hair loss will benefit from the procedure. Only an experienced hair transparent surgeon can help you determine if you are a candidate for hair loss surgery.
