Some types of hair loss, such as those due to stress or nutritional deficiencies, can be reversed. However, genetic hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) is usually permanent but can be managed with treatment

Yes, hair transplants are generally effective for restoring hair in areas affected by genetic hair loss, though results vary depending on the individual’s hair characteristics.

It can take 3-6 months to see noticeable results from treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, or PRP therapy.
