What is Androgenic Alopecia?
Do you think you have Androgenic Alopecia?
Androgenic alopecia, the most frequent cause of hair thinning, is also known as male or female pattern baldness and stems from a genetic sensitivity of hair follicles to certain naturally occurring hormones within the body.
Think of it like this
It’s Genetic:Â It’s common for this kind of hair thinning to be linked to what you inherit from your parents.
Hormone Sensitivity:Â A normal hormone in your body, mostly DHT, can make some of the hair roots on your scalp more sensitive than they should be.
Roots Shrink:Â Over time, that extra sensitivity makes those hair roots gradually become tinier.
Thinner Hair:Â With each new growth, as the roots shrink, the hairs they produce will probably be thinner, shorter, and not as robust.
Pattern Loss:Â Ultimately, those roots could cease to produce hair that’s visible, which can lead to the familiar patterns of hair thinning, like a receding hairline or thinning on the crown.
The problem isn’t an excess of hormone; it’s that specific hair roots are extra sensitive to the normal amount present, and this sensitivity is frequently passed down through your family.
Androgenic Alopecia's Tell-Tale Signature
A tell-tale sign of androgenic alopecia is the characteristic pattern of hair thinning it produces: it primarily affects the top, front, and crown of the scalp. Conversely, the hair on the sides and back of the head typically remains considerably thicker and largely unaffected.
