Article: Hair Restoration Treatments

Although an abundance of so called "cures" for thinning hair and baldness is available, the only true way to restore a person's hairline is to seek treatment from a physician. As board-certified specialists trained in hair restoration surgery, dermatologic surgeons are uniquely qualified to diagnose the cause of hair loss and recommend a treatment plan. Since hair restoration procedures greatly rely on the physician's skill and artistry, it's important to see a dermatologic surgeon with training and experience in this area.

It affects approximately one-third of all susceptible women, but is most commonly seen after menopause
