What is Hair Loss?
Hair loss refers to the condition in which a person begins to lose hair from the scalp or other parts of the body. It can occur gradually or suddenly and may be temporary or permanent, depending on the underlying cause. Common types of hair loss include androgenic alopecia (male pattern baldness) and alopecia areata, an autoimmune condition that causes patchy hair loss. Thinning hair, a receding hairline, or baldness are often early signs or symptoms.
Some patients also experience hair loss from tight hairstyles like braids that pull on the scalp. Fortunately, various treatments such as platelet rich plasma (PRP) therapy, laser therapy, cooling caps, and non-ablative procedures are available to stimulate hair growth and help patients feel great again.
Who is Affected by Hair Loss?
Factors that can lead to hair loss include genetics, aging, hormonal changes such as menopause or pregnancy, stress, certain medical conditions like actinic keratosis or infection, and medical treatments including chemotherapy. While hereditary hair loss is the most common type, other risk factors like hormonal fluctuations, medications, medical conditions, and sun damage can also contribute.
Women may notice thinning hair during menopause or after pregnancy, while men often develop a receding hairline or bald spots on the head as they age. Hair loss may also occur as a side effect of certain procedures or due to stress. Patients undergoing chemotherapy often experience temporary hair loss, though PRP treatments and cooling caps can help protect the scalp and encourage regrowth.
