Male pattern baldness (Androgenetic alopecia) is a common form of hereditary hair loss. Dermatologists have proven that male pattern baldness is caused in part due to heredity and male hormones. Regardless of male or female, it may occur even before the age of twenty. Most male pattern baldness patients have normal endocrine but due to the effects of the 5α-reductases, dihydrotestosterone (DHT) (also known as hair follicle killer) will form in the hair follicles and join with the androgens to attack the hair follicles, shortening the hair growth cycle and causing the hair to become shorter and thinner as the hair follicle withers away. The hair loss mostly begins in the crown area and forehead area for males while the hair loss for women begins from the scalp center distribution line. Depending on the severity of hair loss, male pattern baldness may be classified into 7 stages. Generally, the optimal time for treatment would be from Stage 2 – 5.
Alopecia areata, or more commonly known as spot baldness, is a common form of hair loss in dermatology. It may happen at any age, even in youths, especially between 20-50 years old. In spot baldness, about 4-27% is attributable to HLA tissue antigens, such as HLA DR4 DR5, DR11 and DQ7, which may develop to full head baldness and body baldness. Spot baldness may be classified as hair loss period, dormant period, and restoration period. Expert physicians recommend that unless the patients are also suffering mental issues, they should not worry about seeking the source of their pressure. Hair loss is not the fault of the patient and should be treated normally.
Postpartum hair loss is a common issue faced by many mothers. Although the hair loss rarely lasts more than six months, it may sometimes persist up to one year. Patients often complain about the massive hair loss and worry that all their hair will fall off. In reality, postpartum hair loss is a typical form of Telogen alopecia where there will be substantial hair loss but not all. Most experts believe that during pregnancy, the high estrogen levels of the pregnant mother will lengthen the life of the hair follicles, therefore when the estrogen levels return to normal after birth, the massive number of follicles will enter a resting phase and cause massive hair loss. According to reports, the proportion of hair follicles in such resting phase is as high as 65% which means that in severe cases, about 2/3 of the hair may fall off.
Temporary hair loss may also be due to cancer treatment, brain diseases, accidents requiring head surgeries or external treatment. The medical grade hair system can be used to protect the scalp from direct injuries and keep warm, as well as restore the confidence of the patient in appearance.
Due to the increase in age or pressures of life, many middle-age people or senior citizens face rapid hair loss and thinning, and are unable to style their hair. The hair system can restore their confidence. In Europe and US, besides seeking anti-aging skin treatment, the senior citizens also consider the use of hair systems a necessary option in cosmetology for their hair loss or thinning issues.
