You could perhaps consider hair restoration treatment, particularly in men; with women it's not usually done. With men it's more readily acceptable, in so far as it's easy to see or fairly easy to see how far that hair loss is likely to go. Therefore, the surgeon can predict whether or not the surgery is going to be satisfactory. In male pattern baldness, if the man isn't likely to be going extensively bald, hair restoration can be considered. The other reason for using surgery is where you have scarring, because in some cases it is possible to transplant the hair into a scar successfully. You can remove small areas of hair from the back of the head onto a nasty scar that's visible in the front of the head. For example, hair transplant surgery can happen perhaps after a car accident or something.
