Restoration. male-pattern hair loss. This condition, medically referred to as androgenic
alopecia, affects both men and women of all age groups. Conquering Hair Loss was written
first and foremost to provide you, the reader, with the available information about hair
loss. This will allow you to accurately assess the stage of your hair loss and enable you
to treat it using existing medical technology. hair loss while in college. Although I saw
physicians and specialists about this problem, I was given few treatment options. I came
to the conclusion that these options were not satisfactory. I came to realize how
frustrating a problem hair loss can be. For several years, I have extensively researched
this subject by consulting physicians, talking to patients receiving various forms of
therapy for hair loss, and reading all medical literature that I could possibly obtain
pertaining to this topic. Let me inform you that there are many options available. I will
discuss all of them in Conquering Hair Loss This book is a compilation of years of
research into this subject. Please note that the facts I state in this book are
appropriately referenced at the end of each chapter. Throughout the book, references will
appear within brackets. This means that what I discuss has been published in the medical
literature. In order to be published, studies have to be approved by experts in their
respective fields of research. Keep in mind that everything stated in this book is
supported by the medical literature. The amount of research in hair loss that has taken
place during the past decade is staggering. This recent interest in treating hair loss has
been primarily fueled by the discovery of new hair growth promoting agents such as
Minoxidil (Rogaine ®, trademark name, The Upjohn Company) and by surgical advances in
hair transplantation. This book will enable you to understand the biological processes
involved in hair loss. It describes the therapeutic options that can help you to regain
the hair you have lost and to prevent further hair loss. This book contains a great deal
of information. I know that some concepts might be difficult, but I have intentionally
written this book so that it does not require a medical degree to understand. I strongly
recommend that you read each chapter, but, if you want immediate answers on how to cope
with your hair loss problem, please refer to Chapter 16, "Review and
Recommendations." Many different hair promoting drugs, therapies, and surgical
procedures are discussed in this book. Only in the last few years have we had the ability
to assess and perform a large number of hair growth promoting treatments. Our scientific
knowledge of hair loss continues to expand. Many physicians are now understanding
society's considerable emphasis on self-image and are no longer ignoring male-pattern hair
loss. It is my most sincere intent that this book will give you the tools and knowledge to
attack and solve your hair loss problem. Conquering Hair Loss was written to convey hope
and knowledge to fellow hair loss sufferers. Hair loss involves a significant portion of
the population and far too many people accept it as inevitable. If hair loss is affecting
you now, I want you to realize that it is not inevitable. Do not accept this outcome! You
can stop your hair loss and get new hair regrowth. If you are patient and follow the
guidelines in this book, you will triumph. Hair loss is not an inevitable, irrevocable
outcome! I hope that, by reading this book, you are encouraged to cope with your hair loss
problem. My primary goal in writing this book was to provide you with the knowledge to
conquer hair loss. It is my sincere hope that the different treatment options provided
