Alopecia

Alopecia (The medical term for hair loss)

Alopecia can be broken down into different categories or types of loss and you may find some basic understanding helpful. Your hair loss may be localised or diffuse, you may notice hair shedding, poor hair quality, hair thinning or bald areas and in some cases there may be evidence of scalp disease or scarring.

Androgenetic Alopecia Probably the most common Alopecia is Androgenetic Alopecia, currently better known as Male/Female Pattern Baldness but medical practitioners are beginning to differentiate between the two by referring to the female form as Androgenetic Alopecia. To differing degrees Androgenetic Alopecia is common in women, by 50 years of age around 40% show signs of hair loss and by 80 less than 45% will have a full head of hair.

Female Androgenetic Alopecia is characterised by diffuse thinning of hair on the scalp and is visibly different to male pattern baldness which usually begins with a receding hairline or thinning crown and progresses in many cases to the classic bald area from front to top and crown of the head. It’s very uncommon for women to go bald in the same way as men but some women may experience thinning at the front hairline as they age.Come and talk to us and let us help you.HAIROOM provides professional female hair loss supportAt Hairoom all of these things can be talked about and first class advice given from years of training, experience and feedback.
