Hair loss in men is known as androgenic alopecia or ‘male pattern baldness’. It can start in the early twenties and it typically takes 10-20 years for a man to go bald, although some men will bald in less than 5 years. Male pattern baldness typically starts with the hair line receeding at the front, this then progresses to hair loss in the crown area causing a central bald patch and results in eventual enlargement of the central patch and the frontal hair loss such that they join together and leave just a rim around the base of the scalp. It is estmiated that male pattern hair loss affects over 50% of men over the age of 50 and that some 12 million men in the UK are affected by some degree of hair loss.

Women can also be affected by androgenic hair loss. In women the pattern of hair loss tends to be at the crown. Women are most affected after the menopause but approximately 13% of women have some degree of hair thinning before the menopause. Women can benefit from the same medical treatments for hair loss as men can. These treatments are clinically proven not only to stop hair loss progression but also to achieve hair regrowth.

Androgenic hair loss in men and women is due to a change in the hair cycle due to an increased sensitivity to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Hair follicles convert the hormone testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT) that attaches to hair follicles and causes them to shrink and eventually shorten and thin. Over time the follicles become dysfunctional and hair no longer grows. Treatments for hair loss prevent DHT’s effects on the hair follicle.
