Men’s hair loss and men’s hair thinning are commonly misunderstood and assumed to be hereditary male pattern hair loss, which technically is not hair falling out but is a gradual miniaturization or hair thinning and occurs only within a typical pattern.
Absolique Trichologist’s microscopic diagnosis can clearly determine the difference between men’s hair loss, men’s hair thinning, and male pattern thinning. It is of the upmost importance to get a correct and qualified diagnosis before starting any hair loss treatment. With the many changes in our modern world and fast lifestyles, men’s hair loss and men’s hair thinning related the hair cycle are on the rise.
Male pattern hair thinning or androgenic alopecia are gradual hair thinning that will only ever appear at the recessions, top, front, and crown of the head. Because hair thinning is easily noticed at the front where it is clearly in view, it is commonly misdiagnosed. Incorrect diagnosis can lead to a hair loss treatment for men that simply does not work or worse, cause more hair loss. The general nature of short hair in men also make it difficult to assess the difference between men’s hair loss and male pattern thinning so the use of a microscope by a certified trichologist is the safest plan.
We all have a hair cycle, every hair on our head is within a cycle of growing, resting or falling. Problems with the hair cycle and hair cell are most often the primary cause of hair loss in men. This diffuse hair loss or diffuse hair thinning (diffuse meaning all over the head) can speed up the occurrence and appearance of male pattern hair thinning. The hair cycle is diffuse and does not work only in patterns or patches such as male pattern thinning or alopecia areata.
Early onset male pattern thinning is on the rise. This is when there may or may not be hereditary factors, and it happens at a young age of 16-30 years. Male pattern hair thinning is not physical hair loss, so this is a good clue. Male pattern hair thinning is a gradual miniaturization and should be progressive over the years. When the pattern of baldness accelerates fast and at a young age, there are other factors.
