Some people choose to treat hair loss with medications or surgery, such as hair transplantation. Others choose to wear hairpieces (wigs or toupees) or use different methods of hair styling (dyeing or combing). The approach you use depends on the cause of your hair loss. Some people feel they need treatment, while others are not as concerned about thinning hair or baldness.
If a disease, medication, or stress is the underlying cause, treating the disease, changing medications, or eliminating or learning to manage the stress may stop the hair loss.
Treatment for hair loss may boost self-esteem and overall well-being, although the trade-off might be that it affects your health. Some medications may have harmful side effects, and surgery may carry certain risks.
Treatment for inherited hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) aims to prevent hair loss, promote hair growth, and cover bald areas of the scalp. However, treatment is not successful for everyone, and you should not expect to regrow a full head of hair.
