Alopecia In Male - DHI Thailand

What is androgenic alopecia or male pattern baldness?

Androgenic alopecia causes the hair follicle to be unable to survive on the scalp. This is because the hair follicle decreases in size, eventually disappearing entirely and, therefore, the hair.

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is the hormone that weakens the hair follicles on the top of the head. Therefore, it is what favors the development of the typical characteristics of hair affected by androgenic alopecia. At some point, even though the hair follicle is still alive and remains on the scalp, due to its miniaturization, the hair stops growing.

What are the causes of androgenic alopecia?

This condition is caused by several factors, with genetics being the most significant factor. Genes are passed down from mother and father, so any hint of baldness in the family is considerable. Several factors could accelerate the appearance of androgenic alopecia:

Emotional, metabolic, or physical stress
High blood pressure
Fungal infections on the scalp
Bad nutrition
Hormonal imbalance
Genetic predisposition (Genetics being the most significant factor).

How do I know if I have androgenic alopecia?

It is essential to evaluate the characteristics of our scalp in terms of loss of density, hair thinning, or whether there are currently empty or sparse areas that previously had hair. An aggressive fall may occur where there is bare skin or slight density in areas such as the entrances, central location, or crown.

When determining hair loss, the first step is to go to a hair restoration specialist since they will carry out a professional and personalized classification of the type of alopecia you suffer from, along with the best treatment. At DHI, we put at your disposal our specialists who have international training from the DHI Hair Restoration Academy.
