Hair restoration focuses on replacing hair where it has been lost, although there is also a demand for hair to be placed where it is desired, but lacking, for a perceived aesthetic gain. For both men and women, hair loss can be devastating and lead to loss of confidence and self-esteem. Hair restoration can be beneficial but treatment should be tailored to the individual’s needs and the correct diagnosis for the hair loss needs to be determined through a detailed history, thorough examination, and appropriate investigations. The average human has over 5 million hair follicles of which only about 100,000 are located on the scalp. While it is loss of scalp hair that is often most noticeable and distressing, eyebrow and eyelash hair loss is also very obvious in both sexes, as is loss of beard and moustache hair in men. Hair loss may be localized or generalized, part of a medical condition, a side effect of medications, the result of a dermatological condition, or genetically predetermined. Hair restoration can be achieved through medical treatment, surgery, and non-surgical alternatives.
