Hair Replacement is a cosmetic surgery procedure that transplants healthy hair follicles into balding areas to restore hair growth. Hair loss is estimated to affect around 7.9 million men and 1.6 million women in the UK and can have a devastating psychological effect. There are a number of factors that can cause hair loss including genetics, stress, ageing and chronic illness as well as medication and nutritional deficiencies. Surgical treatments for hair loss are the most effective way to treat baldness or thinning hair. While in the past many people were put off of surgery because it was incredibly invasive, more advanced contemporary techniques have made hair loss surgery far less traumatic and with much better results.
