Hair Loss

Androgenetic alopecia is a genetically predetermined disorder due to an excessive response to androgens. This condition affects up to 50% of males and females and is characterised by progressive loss of terminal hair of the scalp any time after puberty.

Hair thinning and hair loss, medically known as androgenetic alopecia, is a common condition that affects both men and women. It occurs when hair follicles gradually shrink and produce finer, shorter hairs, leading to a noticeable reduction in hair density. This condition can impact self-esteem and confidence, making it essential to understand the types of hair thinning, available treatment procedures, and potential solutions.

If you are experiencing hair thinning, it’s crucial to seek professional advice to determine the underlying cause and identify the most suitable treatment option. PRP hair restoration offers a safe, minimally invasive solution that harnesses your body’s natural healing properties to promote hair regrowth. Restore your confidence and combat hair thinning with effective PRP hair restoration.

Types of Hair Thinning

Male Pattern Baldness (Androgenetic Alopecia): This is the most common type of hair thinning in men, characterized by a receding hairline and thinning crown.

Female Pattern Hair Loss: Typically seen in women, this type of hair thinning causes overall hair thinning and widening of the part line.

Telogen Effluvium: A temporary hair thinning condition triggered by stress, illness, hormonal changes, or certain medications.

Alopecia Areata: An autoimmune disorder that causes patchy hair loss on the scalp and other areas of the body.

Treatment Procedures

PRP Hair Restoration Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) hair restoration is a cutting-edge, non-surgical treatment that promotes natural hair growth. The procedure involves drawing a small amount of the patient’s blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, growth factors, and cytokines, and then injecting this PRP solution into the scalp.

How PRP Hair Restoration Works:

  • Stimulation of Hair Follicles: PRP contains growth factors that stimulate hair follicles’ activity, promoting hair growth and strengthening existing hair.
  • Improved Blood Circulation: The PRP injections increase blood circulation to the scalp, delivering vital nutrients to the hair follicles.
  • Reduced Hair Thinning: PRP helps to minimize hair thinning by extending the hair growth cycle and preventing further hair loss.

Frequently Asked
Questions

Is Androgenetic Alopecia permanent?
The hair follicles affected by Androgenetic Alopecia are permanently damaged. There are treatments which can help to delay the process, but hairs that have been lost will not grow back.
Is Androgenetic Alopecia inherited?
It is difficult to say whether Androgenetic Alopecia is inherited or not, because there are many genetic and environmental factors likely to be involved. However, this condition does tend to cluster in families and having a close relative with patterned hair loss appears to be a risk factor for developing the condition.
What does Androgenetic Alopecia look like?
Androgenetic Alopecia tends to look different between males and females. In men, the typical pattern of hair loss is a receding hair line with loss of hair from the top and front of the head, often in a classic M-shaped pattern. In women, the usual pattern of hair loss is thinning at the crown of the head, with the frontal hairline over the forehead remaining. It is less likely that a woman will experience total baldness as a result of Androgenetic Alopecia.
