restoration expert cites more middle-aged men and women seeking
permanent solution for hair loss
According to statistics released from a recent member survey
conducted by the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS)
– the world’s leading medical authority on hair loss and hair
restoration – lackluster worldwide economic growth in 2010 did not
put the brakes on the number of people investing in hair restoration
surgery to treat hair loss.
Approximately 279,381 hair restoration procedures were performed
worldwide in 2010, up 11 percent from 2008. This increase coincides
with a significant jump in the total number of hair restoration
patients worldwide – from 811,363 patients in 2008 to 923,599
patients in 2010.
“Hair is an integral part of our identity, and hair loss has been
shown to have a negative impact on a person’s overall quality of
life,” said Dr. Mir Malkani of Court House Clinics (http://www.courthouseclinics.com/meet-our-teams/hair-restora...).
“Whether you are looking for an edge in the workplace or more
satisfaction in your personal life, hair restoration surgery offers
the inherent benefits of looking younger and feeling more self
confident that many people are finding is well worth the
investment.”
While some might think that only older men are undergoing hair
transplant surgery (http://www.courthouseclinics.com/hair-loss), the
survey found that the majority (83 percent) of first time hair
restoration patients in 2010 were between 30 and 49 years old. In
addition, although the majority of hair restoration patients are
men, women are increasingly seeking help for hair loss. In 2010,
85.9 percent of all hair restoration surgical patients worldwide
were male and 14.1 percent were female. Since 2004, the number of
female surgical hair restoration patients worldwide increased 24
percent.
“In our practice, we have noticed similar trends over the years of
younger patients and more women seeking treatment for hair loss,”
said Dr. Mir Malkani. “With hair loss, the key is to seek help early
to prevent future hair loss. This survey shows that people are
heeding this advice and not delaying treatment until they are older
or their hair loss becomes more noticeable.”
