Hair loss is a common concern for both men and women. While it's a natural part of aging, excessive hair loss can be a source of distress. Here's a breakdown of what to look for:

• Gradual Thinning: This often starts subtly, with hair appearing less dense overall. You might notice more hair in the shower drain or on your brush.

• Receding Hairline: In men, this typically begins at the temples and progresses in an M-shaped pattern. Women may experience a widening of their part line.

• Bald Patches: In some cases, hair loss can progress to noticeable bald patches on the scalp.

Causes of Hair Loss:

There are several factors that can contribute to hair loss:

• Genetics: Hereditary hair loss, also known as androgenetic alopecia, is the most common cause. It's influenced by hormones and affects both men and women.

• Hormonal Changes: Hair loss can occur due to hormonal fluctuations, such as those experienced during pregnancy, menopause, or after stopping birth control pills.

• Medical Conditions: Certain medical conditions and medications can also lead to hair loss.

• Stress: Severe or chronic stress can trigger temporary hair loss.

• Lifestyle Factors: Poor diet, smoking, and certain hairstyles that put excessive tension on the hair can contribute to hair loss.

Professional Options:

In some cases, professional treatments may be considered, and one of our health professionals may discuss these options in a consultation.
