Facts About Pattern Hair Loss
Genetic and Hormonal Causes – Pattern Hair Loss, also known as Androgenetic Alopecia, is primarily caused by genetic factors and the hormone Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which shrinks hair follicles over time, leading to thinner and shorter hair until growth stops completely.
Treatable But Not Always Reversible – While treatments like HLC Low-Level Laser Therapy, PRP, Topical & Oral Solutions can slow down or reverse hair loss, complete regrowth is not always possible if hair follicles have already died.
Early intervention is key to maintaining existing hair.
Progressive and Predictable – In men, it typically starts with a receding hairline and thinning at the crown, while in women, it causes diffuse thinning on the top of the scalp without a receding hairline. The progression follows predictable patterns classified by the Norwood-Hamilton scale (for men) and the Ludwig scale (for women)..
