Different treatments: Minoxidil (rogaine) 5% is very effective in stopping hair loss and regrowing some hair. Hair transplantation is an excellent option if your hairloss is localized to one area (crown and frontal).

Hair transplant: The best treatment for hair loss in men and women is transplantation of hair from the back of the head to the area of hair loss. The hair from the back regions of the head are genetically designed to remain in place despite hormonal changes. Transplantation can be completed by strip harvest of by [fue] follicular unit extraction. Transplantation is completed most naturally as single hairs.
