About Hair loss:

There are many causes of hair loss. Women may notice hair loss after giving birth. People under a lot of stress can see noticeable hair loss.

According to the American academy of dermatology, the most common cause of hair loss is a medical condition called hereditary hair loss. About 80 million men and women in the United States have this type of hair loss. Other names for this type of hair loss are:

• Male-pattern baldness and Female-pattern baldness..
• alopecia areata
• scarring alopecia
• anagen effluvium
• telogen effluvium

Male-pattern baldness is the most common type of hair loss, affecting around half of all men by 50 years of age. It usually starts around the late twenties or early thirties and most men have some degree of hair loss by their late thirties.

The US National Library of Medicine defines Male pattern baldness as related to your genes and male sex hormones. It usually follows a pattern of receding hairline and hair thinning on the crown, and is caused by hormones and genetic predisposition.
Each strand of hair you have sits in a tiny hole (cavity) in the skin called a follicle. Baldness in general occurs when the hair follicle shrinks over time, resulting in shorter and finer hair. Eventually, the follicle does not grow new hair. The follicles remain alive, which suggests that it is still possible to grow new hair.

The US National Library of Medicine also states that the typical pattern of male baldness begins at the hairline. The hairline gradually moves backward (recedes) and forms an "M" shape. Eventually the hair becomes finer, shorter, and thinner, and creates a U-shaped (or horseshoe) pattern of hair around the sides of the head.
 The alternative names for Male pattern baldness are Alopecia in men; Baldness - male; Hair loss in men; Androgenetic alopecia

Alopecia areata

Alopecia areata causes patches of baldness about the size of a large coin. They usually appear on the scalp but can occur anywhere on the body. It can occur at any age, but mostly affects teenagers and young adults.

Scarring alopecia 

Scarring alopecia or cicatricial alopecia, is usually caused by complications of another condition. In this type of alopecia, the hair follicle (the small hole in your skin that an individual hair grows out of) is completely destroyed. This means your hair won't grow again .

Anagen effluvium

Anagen effluvium is widespread hair loss that can affect your scalp, face and body.
One of the most common causes of this type of hair loss is the cancer treatment chemotherapy. In some cases, other cancer treatments – including immunotherapy and radiotherapy – may also cause hair loss.

In January 2015 the Telegraph online newspaper published an article saying:

No, really. Scientists have finally found a cure for baldness (probably).

Scientists at the independent, nonprofit medical research institute were able to grow new hair using human stem cells. 

So how does bosley hair restoration really work?

At Bosley one of the options is a surgical hair transplant surgery outpatient procedure. For male or female.
Hair transplantation surgery works to replace or restore one's lost hair and hairline. To dispel any misconceptions surrounding hair transplantation and how it varies from other thinning hair treatments, we've put together a short snapshot of what the hair transplant procedure entails and what you can expect during your procedure.

Hair transplantation surgery takes only one day to complete, and is performed on an out-patient basis. You'll arrive at Bosley and go home the same day.

• Photos will be taken prior to the hair transplantation surgery to document the extent of your hair loss pre-procedure and to identify the thinning hair areas to be treated. You and your Bosley physician will then finalize the details of your procedure goals, using a surgical pen to indicate the treatment areas, hairline location and shape.
• The next step is preparation of the donor area and removal of the donor hair. The clinical team will trim the hair in the donor area, being sure to preserve the surrounding hair with rubber bands so that it will cover the donor area after the procedure.
• The Bosley nurse will then administer a local anesthesia to numb the donor area and will ensure that you are completely comfortable during the removal of the donor hair.
• Once the local anesthetic kicks in, the Bosley physician will remove the strip of tissue in the donor area at the back and side of the head. These are the permanent, lifelong hair follicles which make permanent hair restoration possible. Once the donor hair is removed, the Bosley physician will suture the donor area. The hair that was secured with rubber bands will completely conceal the suture area.

 Once the donor tissue is removed, the Bosley clinical staff will begin preparing the follicular units for placement. During this time, patients are typically free to relax and pass the time as they wish. For most this means napping, reading or watching movies. You are free to walk around, chat with the clinical team or use the restroom whenever you want to, while the clinical team prepares the follicular units to begin the next stage of your hair transplant procedure. The trained team will divide the donor strips into their follicle groupings, also known as units. Each unit will be comprised of one, two, three, or four hair follicles.

Once the follicles are divided and ready to be transplanted, you will receive another round of local anesthesia, administered to the recipient areas. Your Bosley hair transplantation physician will then make tiny incisions on your scalp, one for each of the follicular units that will be placed. Detailed attention to the location, angle and depth of each unit is of the utmost importance, as they ensure a natural-looking hairline and results. Natural results demand both clinical expertise and artistic sensitivity, the two hallmarks of Bosley hair restoration.


Under the direction of your Bosley physician, the hair transplant surgery team then places the individual follicular units into the donor recipient sites. We place one- and two-hair follicular units in the front (near the hairline) and place three- and four-hair follicular units behind the reconstructed hairline to maximize the density and coverage of the balding areas. This technique produces hair transplant results that provide a light, natural, aesthetically pleasing hairline while maximizing coverage and density. During this time, you are free to continue reading, watching TV or napping if you like.
