▪️What is male pattern hair loss, and can it be treated?
The most common cause of hair loss in men, male pattern hair loss can begin early. Sometimes, it starts in your late teens or early twenties.
Usually, it appears later. By 50 years of age, more than half of white men have a visible sign of male pattern hair loss like noticeable thinning, a receding hairline, or balding.
While you don’t need to treat this type of hair loss, treatment options exist. Treatment can reduce further hair loss, and some men regrow a bit of their hair. The men who tend to see the best results start treatment soon after noticing hair loss.

◾️How a dermatologist can help with hair loss
If you want to do something about hair loss, making an appointment to see a dermatologist can be a great place to start. A dermatologist can tell you what type of hair loss you have. This is important because different types of hair loss require different treatments.
A dermatologist can also tell you what results you can expect from treatment. If you want to treat the hair loss, a dermatologist can talk with you about options that will help you see the most improvement.

Thinning hair and hair loss: Could it be female pattern hair loss?

Is your part widening? Have you noticed that your ponytail is thinner these days? You may have female pattern hair loss (FPHL), a condition that affects millions of women. FPHL is actually the most-common cause of hair loss in women.
For most women, FPHL begins in midlife, when a woman is in her 40s, 50s, or 60s. It can begin earlier for some women.

FPHL is a progressive condition. This means women tend to continue losing hair. But women do not lose all of their hair, as do some men. Instead, your part often gets wider. Hair near your temples may recede. Without treatment, some women eventually develop widespread thinning.

Treatment can prevent hair loss from worsening and help women regrow their hair. Treatment delivers the best results when started at the first sign of hair loss.

Be sure to see a dermatologist to make sure that you have FPHL, and to rule out another condition, which may be causing your hair loss then determine what treatments works best for you!

Hair loss: Alopecia Areata
▪️What is alopecia areata?
Alopecia areata is a disease that causes hair loss. Most people lose hair on their scalp or beard area, but hair loss can occur anywhere on your body. A board-certified dermatologist can tell you if you have this type of hair loss and what may help you regrow your hair.

▪️Sometimes, you hear a different medical name for this type of hair loss. Here’s what these terms mean:
-Alopecia barbae: A person has patchy hair loss on their beard.
-Alopecia ophiasis: A person has a band or strip of hair loss on their scalp.
-Alopecia totalis: A person has lost all the hair on their scalp.
-Alopecia universalis: A person has lost all the hair on their scalp and everywhere else on their body. This is rare.

▪️Is there a cure for this type of hair loss?
At this time, alopecia areata cannot be cured. However, treatment can help people regrow their hair. Newer treatments are regrowing hair for people who weren’t helped by past treatments. Dermatologists helped develop these newer treatments.
