Pattern Baldness

Androgenetic alopecia or patterned baldness can occur in males and females. Hair loss occurs when androgenic hormones cause the hair follicle to shrink in size causing thinning hair or even preventing the hair to grow. Although it affects both genders, where it affects the scalp differs. In men hair loss occurs at the temples, thinning of the hairline as well as balding on the crown of the head. Women on the other hand tend to suffer from hair loss throughout the scalp. For more information on patterned baldness in men and women, please read through some of our blogs below.

Anagen Effluvium from Robotic Hair Restoration of Long Island

People lose their hair for many reasons. The most common reason is androgenetic alopecia, which is known by most people as male or female pattern hair loss. It is a condition that takes place over time with hair loss forming in the crown or temple area for men and in the front area of the scalp for women. Another major cause of hair loss is called effluvium, which is a condition where hair usually sheds more quickly. The most common form is telogen effluvium, which occurs during a point in the hair growth cycle when hair tends not to grow. Another type of effluvium called anagen effluvium occurs when hair is in its growth stage. RHRLI wants you to know about this condition and if you’re looking for a permanent solution to hair loss or thinning hair, we can help.
