Achieve Fuller, Healthier Hair with Expert Hair Loss Treatments

Hair thinning in male pattern hair loss can be attributed in a percentage of males to genetics and hair follicle sensitivity to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Female pattern hair loss which has similarities to male pattern hair loss in terms of miniaturization of hair follicle has no known cause.

It is normal to lose about 100 – 150 hair strands every day.

Both men and women can experience androgenetic alopecia, which is triggered by hormones and genetics. Hair loss often occurs faster and more extensively in men. In fact, hair loss in men may manifest as early as adolescence with the onset of hair recession near the temples, and the appearance of the characteristic “M” shaped hairline. Hair loss in women, on the other hand, experience diffuse thinning at the top of the head, which shows at the part line. Diffuse thinning can occur as early as their 20s and 30s, due to hormonal changes and aging. In some cases, hair thinning and baldness in women may also be caused by treatable illnesses such as thyroid disease or anemia.

This depends on the amount of the stress you’re experiencing and how much effect it has on the normal functions of your body. Normally, the mild stress we experience on a day-to-day basis is not enough to cause hair loss. However, severe stress that is a result of serious or traumatic events, such as divorce, a drastic change in diet, surgery, or extreme weight loss, may cause a physiological imbalance in your system.
