Hair loss, also known as alopecia, is a condition that affects both men and women, leading to thinning hair, receding hairlines, and bald spots. It can occur gradually over time or suddenly, depending on the underlying cause. Genetics, hormonal imbalances, stress, medical conditions, and certain medications are common factors that contribute to hair loss.
At Metropolis Dermatology in Costa Mesa, CA, we provide advanced hair restoration solutions, including Keralase™, an innovative, non-invasive treatment designed to stimulate hair follicles and encourage healthy regrowth.
What is Hair Loss?
Hair loss occurs when hair follicles become weak or inactive, leading to thinner hair growth or complete cessation of new hair production. While some hair shedding is normal, excessive hair loss can impact appearance and confidence.
What Are the Causes of Hair Loss?
- Genetics: Androgenetic alopecia (hereditary hair loss) is the most common cause of gradual thinning and receding hairlines.
- Hormonal Changes: Pregnancy, menopause, thyroid disorders, and hormonal fluctuations can disrupt the natural hair growth cycle.
- Stress: Physical or emotional stress can trigger telogen effluvium, a condition where hair enters the shedding phase prematurely.
- Medical Conditions: Autoimmune diseases (e.g., alopecia areata), scalp infections, and nutritional deficiencies can impair hair follicle function.
- Medications: Treatments for cancer, depression, high blood pressure, and other conditions may contribute to temporary or permanent hair loss.
Symptoms
- Gradual thinning on the top of the scalp, commonly seen in men.
- Patchy bald spots that develop suddenly.
- Receding hairline or widening part in women.
- Excessive shedding during brushing or washing.
