When it comes to hair loss, it really has no boundaries in who it targets. Absolutely everyone can suffer from this traumatic condition, young or old, black or white, man or woman – your chances of suffering from hair loss at some time in your life are the same as everyone else’s.
Of course, there are some factors which can increase your risk, such as genetics, lifestyle choices and ethnicity. For example, it’s been discovered that Asian men have more difficulty growing facial hair than other ethnicities. However, generally speaking, hair loss is a problem which transcends all boundaries.
The good news is, there has been a lot of developments within the hair loss industry, with more treatments available now than ever before.
Understanding your treatment options
If you are suffering with hair loss, it’s really important to have the condition correctly diagnosed. This is because there are a lot of different types of hair loss and each one requires a different type of treatment.
Older white males suffering from male pattern baldness for example, would potentially benefit from a hair transplant. However, this type of treatment may not be suitable for those with afro-style hair. Young males suffering from male pattern baldness may also be better off seeking a different type of treatment. This is because the hair will continue to recede, meaning further transplants will be required.
There’s also laser treatments on offer, along with medications, topical treatments and heat therapy. Then there’s a huge array of thickening products you can to cover up thinning hair. The amount of different treatments available is staggering, but potentially costly if you choose the wrong ones.
Seeking help from a hair specialist will help determine the best treatment
If you want to avoid wasting a lot of money and seeing very little results, it’s a good idea to seek advice from a hair specialist or doctor. They will be able to tell you which type of hair loss you’re suffering from and the best treatment depending upon your age, race and gender.
Overall, with so many treatments available, you don’t have to suffer in silence. While the condition can affect absolutely anyone, there is a treatment out there to suit you.
