Hair loss can happen for many different reasons, and understanding the underlying cause is the first step in developing an effective treatment plan. The most common cause of progressive hair loss is androgenetic alopecia, also known as genetic or pattern hair loss.
Common Causes of Hair Loss
- Genetic Hair Loss: The most common form of hair loss caused by sensitivity to hormones such as DHT (dihydrotestosterone).
- Age-Related Changes: Hair follicles may gradually become smaller and produce thinner hair over time.
- Hormonal Changes: Changes in hormone levels can affect hair growth patterns.
- Medical Conditions: Certain illnesses, medications, or nutritional deficiencies may contribute to hair shedding.
- Stress and Lifestyle Factors: Significant stress, poor nutrition, or major life changes can trigger temporary shedding.
Why Is Identifying the Cause Important?
Not all hair loss requires the same solution. Some patients may benefit from medical treatments, while others with permanent pattern hair loss may be candidates for a hair transplant. A proper evaluation helps determine the most appropriate approach.
Can Hair Loss Be Prevented?
In some cases, early intervention may help slow progression and preserve existing hair. FDA-approved treatments may be considered for appropriate patients, while surgical restoration may be recommended when permanent follicular loss has occurred.
During a consultation, Dr. Brett Bolton evaluates your pattern of hair loss, donor hair availability, and long-term goals to create a personalized hair restoration plan.
