What Is Alopecia?

Do I Have Androgenic Alopecia?

Androgenic alopecia (also known as androgenetic alopecia, or AGA) is the type of alopecia, or hair loss, that's hereditary. The word androgenic refers to the androgen hormones that regulate hair growth in men and women.

Both sexes can experience androgenic alopecia but in different ways.

What is Alopecia in Men?

In men, androgenetic alopecia is synonymous with male pattern baldness: hair loss begins at the temples and extends back from the hairline in a distinctive "M" shape. The hair may also thin at the crown. The condition can lead to total baldness in men.

What is Alopecia in Women?

In women, androgenic alopecia rarely causes complete baldness. Rather, the entire head of hair becomes thinner, especially at the hairline.

How To Treat Alopecia

There are drugs like Rogaine^TM and Propecia^TM and surgical methods to treat alopecia. But most hair loss experts agree that it is easier to prevent hair loss than it is to regrow hair in follicles that are already dead or dormant.

So the best way to treat alopecia is first to recognize that you are at risk, either due to genetic or other factors, and then take proactive steps to prevent further hair loss.
