What is Androgenic Alopecia?

We all have often heard the term male pattern hair loss. It is one of the most common causes of hair thinning in men and bald patches development. If you are a woman and face the same issue, it is formerly called androgenic Alopecia. Though androgenetic Alopecia is not very common as male pattern hair loss; it does leave many women struggling with thinning hair and bald patches. The good news is that many treatments are now made available for androgenic Alopecia to restore your head with healthy hair.  

A close look at Androgenic Alopecia 

Let us first explore what Androgenic Alopecia is and how it can impact your normal hair growth. The female pattern hair loss occurs when the growth stage is impeded and the resting stage of the hair growth cycle hampered.

When old hair sheds and new hair grows it is considered normal; however in cases of extreme hair loss new hair growth does not take place leading to excessive shedding of a hair and bald patches. In addition to this, excess DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) is a major cause of female hair loss patterns. This testosterone byproduct binds the androgen receptors in susceptible follicles, which activates the genes which are held responsible for miniaturizing the large terminal follicles. The hair on the head starts to get small, shreds more and disappears altogether. 

The extent of hair loss varies from woman to woman, but it is generally after 40 years of age that most women start noticing bald patches. There is a strong genetic factor associated with androgenic Alopecia, where some women are more vulnerable to it.
