Hereditary hair loss in women and men
Hereditary hair loss in women and men
Hereditary hair loss, or androgenic alopecia, is the most common cause of long-term hair thinning. It is associated with a genetic sensitivity to dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
How does it manifest in men?
The hairline recedes from the temples and the crown becomes thinner.
How does it manifest in women?
The thinning is more visible on the top of the head without clear baldness.
Can the process be slowed down?
Although genetic predisposition cannot be eliminated, treatments and strengthening products that activate blood circulation to the scalp can slow down thinning.
