Hair loss is a common problem that affects a large percentage of the world’s population.

Several factors influence hair loss and among these are hormones, genes, stress, illness, childbirth, fever, drugs, cosmetic procedures, medical conditions such as thyroid disease, diet and any change in the body systems that will interfere with the hair growth cycle. It is therefore important to get the correct diagnosis as a correct diagnosis will enable the right treatment or solution to be offered. During the consultation, the patient gets the chance to have a hair scalp scanning with a diagnosis and prognosis.

Hair loss affects both men and women, but for a woman hair loss can be particularly distressing as it can seriously impact on confidence levels, according to Mary Safo Ankoma, a hair loss and hair replacement expert at HnBC, Castlebar.

In days gone by, the word “hair transplant” conjured up images of obvious and less than natural-looking results. Today, it is a very different story. This type of grooming has undergone such development and improvement, that even the most skilled barber would struggle to notice a hair transplant.
