Hair loss affects most men and women at some time in their life. There are a number of different causes and contributing factors and consulting a hair loss expert will give you a correct diagnosis for your particular condition. Ask yourself the questions below to help find out if hair loss is causing you emotional strain.

When considering a hair restoration treatment, a lot of time can be spent online, researching everything you need to know. Online research is great for general information, however it won’t give you personalised information, specific to your hair and your hair loss. You may be at the stage where you want an expert opinion on your hair loss, tailored treatment information and cost, therefore you’ll need to book in for a consultation.

We’ll give you the rundown of what to expect during a hair restoration consultation at DHI Australia.

Feeling confident is very powerful for the human psyche. Our hair has an undeniable impact on how we see ourselves and how others see us. Feeling good about our hair can help boost our self-esteem and self-confidence. In clinic, following DHI microsurgery, we often hear, “I wish I did this years ago” from our patients. So why don’t they take action sooner?

For some people, it can be the fear of an unnatural result that causes people to stall on their hair restoration decision. In this article, we explain how you can be assured of a natural-looking hair transplant result, guaranteed.

Like it or not, at some point in your life you are likely to experience hair loss. It might be that you notice that you’re shedding more than usual, or your hair is thinning, you’ve noticed a bald patch, or perhaps you’ve looked at an old photo and realised that your hairline is not where it used to be. A time will come when you’ll realise you’re losing hair and you may want to put the brakes on.

It’s easy to instinctively think the worst, but the good news is that hair loss isn’t always permanent. For some, hair loss is reversible, for others it’s a matter of preserving what’s there and sometimes people want to restore what has already been lost. The most important step to take when you notice that you are losing hair is to visit a hair loss expert who can give you a personalised, correct diagnosis for your hair loss, as it's not always black and white. Hair loss is a personal condition, and every diagnosis and treatment plan should be treated as such.

Alopecia, the medical term for hair loss, is a common concern that affects the majority of men and up to 50% of women in their lifetime. 55% of men have noticeable hair loss by just 40 years of age. It is likely that you, male or female, no matter your race or background, will experience some form of hair loss, at some point in your life. It may be temporary (caused by stress or pregnancy for example), or it may be permanent, such as androgenetic alopecia.

Our hair is an important part of our emotional wellbeing, enhancing our confidence, contributing to our well-being and influencing our social connections…hence the popular saying, “having a bad hair day” when everything seems to be going wrong!

So what is it that causes alopecia and what can be done about it?
