Understanding Male Pattern
Baldness and Men's Hair Loss
Men's hair loss and going bald is a fact of
life for millions of men. Significant male pattern baldness affects the
lives of well over one-half of adult men worldwide.
There are many possible causes of male
pattern hair loss, however the man who experiences hair loss usually
finds that it is part of his individual genetic makeup.
The life cycle of normal human hair is
approximately five years. With male pattern baldness these hairs are not
always replaced by new hair and gradually bald spots or areas begin to
appear. Age is not necessarily an indicator or factor in predicting
when male pattern baldness will occur.
Genetic male pattern baldness hair loss is
characterized by hair receding from the sides of the forehead, hence the
term "receding hairline." The typical progression of normal male
pattern baldness is shown in the illustration at right.
ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA is the most
common cause of hair loss and balding in men. It represents almost 95%
of all male hair loss.
Other types of
male hair loss include:
-
 Alopecia
areata: Generally thought to be an autoimmune disorder. Causes
"patchy" hair loss, often in small circular areas in different areas
of the scalp.
-
Alopecia totalis: Total hair loss of
the scalp, (an advanced form of alopecia areata).
-
Alopecia universalis: Hair loss of the
entire body, (also an advanced form of alopecia areata).
-
Telogen effluvium: A sudden, diffuse
hair loss caused by an interruption in the normal hair growth cycle
as a result of trauma, such as chemotherapy, major surgery, severe
stress, or severe chronic illness.
-
Trichotillomania is a compulsive
disorder causing hair loss from the continual compulsive pulling of
the hair.
Men's pattern hair loss is a common
condition, occurring in approximately one-third of all men worldwide.
Male hair loss and male pattern baldness,
as well as other types of temporary and permanent hair loss in men can
be corrected with appropriate male hair loss restoration or replacement
solutions.
Preventing hair loss can be achieved with
several different remedies ranging from non-surgical hair replacement,
laser hair therapy, certain topical hair loss products such as DHT
Sensor, or hair transplants.
