Male Hair Loss [ Asian Hair ]

12 May 2009, by haircentre in HAIR LOSS [ PHOTOS ] TREATED, MALE HAIR LOSS

What is male hair loss [ male pattern baldness ] androgenic alopecia ?

Male hair loss is the most common type of hair loss. It is caused by increased sensitivity to male sex hormones [ androgens ] in certain parts of the scalp, and is passed on from generation to generation.

In the past, baldness was often seen as something unfortunate or undesirable. However, this attitude has changed over the years and nowadays a clean-shaven head is usually considered both fashionable and attractive.

What causes male hair loss?

Some men have areas on the scalp that are very sensitive to the male sex hormones that circulate in men’s blood. The hormones make the hair follicles [ from which hair grows] shrink. Eventually, they become so small that they cannot replace lost hairs. The follicles are still alive, but are no longer able to perform their task.

The condition usually starts in men aged 20 to 30 and follows a typical pattern. First, a receding hairline develops, and gradually the hair on top of the head also begins to thin. Eventually, the two balding areas meet to form a typical U-shape around the back and sides of the head. The hair that remains is often finer, and does not grow as quickly as it used to.

Can male hair loss be prevented?

Male hair loss is genetically determined [passed on from parents]. Although a doctor can offer medical treatment to improve the condition, this may have side effects. So you are far better off having a chat with one of our Westminster Trichologists first.
