Hair loss/Alopecia

Hair loss is a common condition that can affect people of all ages, genders, and ethnicities. It is estimated that around 50 million men and 30 million women in the United States experience some degree of hair loss. 

Male-pattern baldness, also known as androgenetic alopecia, is the most common form of hair loss in men and is typically characterized by a receding hairline and thinning of hair on the crown of the head. It affects approximately 50% of men by the age of 50.

Female-pattern hair loss is the most common form of hair loss in women and usually results in thinning of hair on the top of the scalp. It affects around 40% of women by the age of 50.

Other types of hair loss, such as alopecia areata (an autoimmune disorder causing patchy hair loss), telogen effluvium (temporary hair shedding due to stress, illness, or hormonal changes), and traction alopecia (hair loss from tight hairstyles or hair pulling), can also occur and contribute to the overall prevalence of hair loss.

Here at Anti-Aging and Wellness MD, we help individuals determine the underlying cause of their hair loss and explore appropriate treatment options.
