Hair Loss Treatment
Losing hair is no big deal. After all, most adult men and women lose up to a hundred strands of hair every day as a natural process of healthy aging. However, when hair loss starts to exceed a normal amount, the premature signs of balding can quickly become frustrating and may lead to a loss of self-esteem and confidence. Medical conditions that can cause hair loss include hormone deficiencies due to thyroid disease, an autoimmune disorder called alopecia areata or certain scalp infections. Hair loss results from white blood cells in the immune system attacking healthy cells in hair follicles, thereby damaging the follicle and diminishing the production of new strands. Fortunately, stem cells are not targeted by an immune system attack and can be helpful in repairing damaged hair follicles.
How Common is Clinically Significant Hair Loss in Adult Women?
After bone marrow, hair is the second fastest-growing tissue in the human body. Nonetheless, during their lifetime, more than one-third of adult women will experience clinically significant hair loss. Dealing with an underlying autoimmune disorder or other medical conditions can be overwhelming, and losing hair adds another stressful layer.

Why Are Younger Adults Increasingly Experiencing Alopecia and Hair Thinning?
