There are many causes of hair loss and hair transplant surgery is often not the most appropriate treatment option. Some patients require specialist medical assessment, investigations and treatment for their particular hair loss. In such situations, Dr Ball recommends his patients seek an opinion from an experienced dermatologist with a special interest in the diagnosis and management of hair loss.
