Hair Loss Education
Genetic hair loss, often called Alopecia, is a condition that affects many men and women. Many people feel like their hair loss affects them negatively and having more hair would boost their overall feelings of self-worth, improve their personal and professional relationships, and open doors lost to them with hair loss. Today, most genetic hair loss can be controlled with treatments and restored with hair restoration surgery. Advanced hair loss sometimes requires a blended approach of hair transplantation and hair prosthetics, but the majority of people with hair loss can be helped.
Causes of Hair Loss
The majority of hair loss is genetic. However, there are other types of hair loss caused by stress, medications, and extreme malnutrition. Most of the hair loss seen at PAI Medical, Nashville is genetic. This type of hair loss can often be treated or remedied via hair restoration or hair prosthetics.

Psychological Effects
The psychological effects of hair loss are well documented. While hair loss doesn’t bother everyone, many people are negatively affected by hair loss. As reported in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology, December 2004, “Hair loss, as it occurs with telogen effluvium and androgenetic alopecia, provokes anxieties and distress more profound than its objective severity would appear to justify. This reflects the profound symbolic and psychosocial importance of hair.” To learn more about the Psychological Effects, click below. Learn more.

Our Process
PAI Medical Group uses a blended technology to deliver world-class hair transplant results. Patients from around the world seek out this new technology because it delivers up two three times the amount of hair quantity per procedure. By incorporating Micro, follicular Unit and Multi-Unit hair groupings (grafts) in their naturally occurring patterns, patients get the most natural results possible. Our Multi-Unit HairTM grafting technology substantially increases the overall hair quantity attainable in a single surgery. By contrast, a more traditional follicular unit hair transplant procedure yields from 30 to 50% less hair per procedure than PAI Medical's blended technologies. Not only does this technology yield more hair for PAI Medical patients but the average cost per hair -as compared to other leading hair transplant clinics- is from 20 to 50% less. Learn more.
