Androgenetic Alopecia is a condition that affects 1 in 7 people in the US, approximate 35 million people, which is 12.87 percent of the total population. The condition can affect any part of the body which has hair follicles and varies in severity. The condition does not cause many debilitating physical problems however does have a serious affect on the sufferer psychologically as it lowers self esteem.

Androgenetic alopecia is the medical terminology for pattern baldness which affects men, women and even chimpanzees. It is an extremely common disorder which is most prevalent in males as men experience complete hair loss in certain sections of the scalp as opposed to women who experience a general thinning of the hair throughout the scalp. The causes of male pattern baldness have remained somewhat illusive until recent research has uncovered some crucial research pointing to the origins of androgenetic alopecia.

The mention of a hair transplant evokes images of balding men and Elton John, but this outdated stereotype of hair replacement patients is about to be quashed for good. The advances in surgical procedures and the increase in the rate of success have led to an interest from the women too. Although it is predominantly men that suffer from hair loss, women can be affected too, but the treatments available now form part of a complete body enhancement package by offering eyebrow and eyelash hair transplants.

Hair loss is a serious issue for people who are suffering from male pattern baldness, general thinning or loss of hair for medical reasons.

Body modification and enhancement is a feature of many cultures and gives a sense of identity as well as helping a person conform with what is regarded as beautiful within that culture. Some enhancement can seem shocking, such as lip plates and facial tattoos, but is this really any more shocking than collagen lip injections, a hair transplant or breast augmentation? We take a look at a few of the reasons behind the history of body modification to see if the western procedures fit the cultural paradigm of traditional enhancement.

Body modification for aesthetic augmentation has been an established practice for many years around the world. From lip plates in Ethiopian cattle herding tribes to lip piercings on the streets of Chelmsford, the results desired from improving ones appearance are all the same; to be more attractive. Every culture has a different idea about what being attractive actually is, and while western men would find the lip plates of the Ethiopian Omo Tribe less than appealing, the tribesmen of the Omo Tribe would find western breast augmentation just as unattractive.

So you may have decided that you want to consider a hair transplant, this is nothing to be ashamed of as many men and women suffer from pattern baldness and hair loss. People that will benefit from hair restoration surgery aren't just those going bald, the surgery can help people who have endured a 'scarring' skin disease and people who want thicker hair in places like the brows.
