Hair Loss
Androgenic alopecia, usually referred to as “male pattern baldness” (MPB), is the most common cause of hair loss. Hair follicles of people affected by this type of baldness are sensitive to a naturally occurring hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Exposure to this hormone will eventually cause the hair follicles to weaken. As the follicles shrink, the hair becomes finer, grows more slowly, and may ultimately disappear. Hair loss from MPB will continue throughout a person’s lifetime; however, the rate of hair loss will depend on the inherited tendencies of each individual.
Treatment options include hair transplant surgery, medication and camouflage.
