How Does Hair Loss Happen?
Understanding the root cause of hair loss is the first step toward treating it. Hair grows in a continuous cycle of active growth, transition, and rest. In patients with androgenetic alopecia, the most common form of hair loss, follicles gradually become sensitive to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that causes them to shrink and eventually stop producing visible hair.This process affects roughly 50 million men and 30 million women in the United States. Pattern baldness typically begins at the temples or crown in men and presents as diffuse thinning in women. Other contributing factors include hormonal changes, stress, nutritional deficiencies, and certain medications. The earlier the treatment begins, the more options are available.
