Aging, Appearance, and Hair Loss
One of the biggest reasons people look for hair transplant treatments is to fight back at hair loss that is perceived as not suitable for their age.
Some people may have this feeling or opinion for personal and/or work-related reasons. In both of these facets of a person’s life, an aging appearance can impact a person’s self-esteem and have an effect on their personal and professional relationships. Although age is measured in years, appearance is the first sign of a person’s relative age group. Most often, others’ opinions play a big part in how we feel about ourselves.
As people are not able to know your exact age, they guess your age range based on your appearance. So this means that a person who has advanced hair loss at a young age sometimes looks much older than they really are. Whether or not you think that way, chances are that you will still be assessed by these opinions and beliefs, unfortunately.
Personal effects of hair loss
Hair loss can have a negative effect on our appearance as well as on how old we look. No matter how old you are, hair loss can make you appear older. Some men suit the look of having no hair such as Vin Diesel, The Rock, or Jason Statham. For other men, however, it can play a big part in feeling dissatisfied in many areas of life such as business, personal, and pleasure.
For women, advanced hair loss can be crippling. A young woman who has any hair loss, let alone advanced hair loss, will appear older than she actually is and could be devastated by it.
Overcoming the appearance of hair loss
Things to consider
Different factors that play a role in a hair restoration plan are:
– Age: A young person with hair loss needs a different approach than an older person with hair loss.
– Gender: Male hair loss and female hair loss are very different and need different restoration strategies.
– Cause of hair loss: It is important to determine the cause of the hair loss so that the appropriate treatment can be put into place to stop it.
– Degree of hair loss: If hair loss is just starting, a better plan can be put into place to have long-lasting results and to minimize the appearance of hair loss. Advanced hair loss needs to take advantage of various different treatments and takes much more work and a larger budget to restore.
