Hair Loss

Hair loss is a common problem that affects millions of people around the world. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, hormones, stress, and nutritional deficiencies. Regardless of the cause, hair loss can be a frustrating and distressing experience for many people.

Understanding the Different Types of Hair Loss

The most prevalent type is androgenetic alopecia—commonly known as male or female pattern baldness—which is largely hereditary and typically progresses gradually over time. Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition that leads to sudden, patchy hair loss on the scalp or body. Another frequent cause is telogen effluvium, a temporary form of hair shedding triggered by stress, illness, hormonal changes, or medications. Traction alopecia results from repeated tension on the hair, often caused by tight hairstyles such as braids or ponytails. More serious forms, like scarring alopecias (also called cicatricial alopecias), involve inflammation that permanently damages hair follicles. Early diagnosis and professional evaluation are key to identifying the cause of hair loss and determining the most effective treatment options.

It’s estimated that up to 50% of men and 40% of women experience some form of hair loss in their lifetime.
If you’re experiencing hair loss, it’s important to speak with a doctor or hair loss specialist. They can help to determine the underlying cause of your hair loss and recommend a treatment plan that is right for you.
Fortunately, there are a variety of medical treatments available for hair loss. Some of the most effective treatments include medications like bimatoprost, minoxidil, caffeine, cetirizine, tretinoin, spironolactone, dutasteride and finasteride, which have been proven to promote hair growth in clinical studies. Other treatments include hair transplant surgery, scalp micropigmentation, and low-level laser therapy.
