Numerous studies at different points in time have shown that the main cause of hair loss – about 95% of all cases – is due to androgenic factors, that is, it is caused mainly by Heredity and Hormones.

The first step is to put yourself in the hands of a qualified professional to determine the cause of your hair loss.

A personalized evaluation by a hair-loss professional will determine the cause behind the loss of hair in order to assess solution alternatives on a case-by-case basis. At the initial screening, in addition to a visual check-up, you will be asked a few questions to further narrow down the diagnosis, such as:
 

	When did you start losing hair?
	Appearance of lost hair: is it broken/thinned? Does it fall in bunches?
	Location of hair loss
	Have you experienced increasing hair growth elsewhere in your body?
	Medications you may be taking (especially hormonal agents such as anabolic steroids)
	Personal and/or family medical history, such as: thyroid disease, anemia, diagnosed stress, allergies, and immune diseases.
	Family history of hair loss
	Normal daily hair care routine (as well as bleaching, dying, or perms)

The majority of us are eligible/candidates for hair micro-graft, but an accurate diagnosis is essential in order to achieve successful results. There are other causes for hair loss which may EXCLUDE patients from being eligible/candidates for a micro-graft, among these:

	Generalized, scattered hair loss with no specific pattern		Total Baldness
	Alopecia Areata		Pathological hair loss
	Stress-induced hair loss		Hormonal imbalance

There is no end to the “miracle” treatments being offered in the market, whose features will do little to help us get the results we want, such as keeping the hair we have, or having hair once again in areas where we have lost it.

Today, we know that the only permanent and definitive solution to hair loss is hair micro-grafts, an outpatient surgery through which hair will be restored in those areas where it had been lost permanently.
