Androgenetic alopecia is the most common form of hereditary hair loss, affecting both men and women 🧬 It occurs when hair follicles become increasingly sensitive to androgens, causing them to gradually shrink and produce finer, shorter hairs. In men, this often appears as a receding hairline or thinning at the crown, while women commonly experience diffuse thinning across the scalp. Because the process is progressive, recognising the early signs matters. Early assessment and treatment can help protect existing follicles before more advanced hair loss occurs 🩺 If you are noticing changes in your hair density, book a consultation to understand the cause and explore your treatment options on our website here.
