ANDROGENIC ALOPECIA

Often know as male pattern baldness, androgenic alopecia will affect 80% of men to some extent by the time they are 50 years old.

Androgenic alopecia is caused by a hormone known as DHT or dihydrotestosterone. Testosterone converts to DHT which binds to receptors on the hair follicles. If you have androgenic alopecia, DHT is likely to cause hair loss by miniaturising your hair follicles.

Quite simply the dihydrotestosterone limits the blood supply shortening the hair growth cycle, resulting in weaker, thinner hairs, then eventually no growth at all. Once the follicles have shrunk, a hair transplant becomes a popular solution.

In the early stages there are some medical treatments that can help to slow or stop this type of loss.

OTHER TYPES OF HAIR LOSS

Stress-related alopecia is a type of hair loss triggered by severe stress or a traumatic event. During periods of stress, the hair growth cycle is disrupted, causing more hair follicles to enter the resting phase prematurely. This results in increased shedding and noticeable thinning of the hair, typically two to three months after the stressful event. Stress-related alopecia is generally temporary with hair regrowth resuming once stress is reduced. Effective management of stress and lifestyle modifications can help in the recovery process.
