Is Androgenetic Alopecia Treatable?
Yes, Androgenetic Alopecia is treatable, though not completely curable. Early diagnosis and intervention can help slow hair loss and, in some cases, promote regrowth. FDA-approved treatments include minoxidil for both men and women, and finasteride for men. Other options include PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy, low-level laser therapy, and hair transplants. Treatment effectiveness varies from one individual to another, depending upon consistency and duration. Consulting a dermatologist is crucial to determine the best personalized approach and prevent further hair follicle damage. At Derma Redefined by Dr. Sampurna, we have got you covered!
Understanding the Root Cause of Your Androgenetic Alopecia
Androgenetic Alopecia is primarily caused by a genetic sensitivity to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a derivative of testosterone. In susceptible individuals, DHT binds to hair follicles and causes them to shrink, leading to shorter, thinner hair strands and eventually stopping hair growth. This process is called follicular miniaturization. Hormonal changes, age, and family history significantly influence its development. Understanding the role of DHT and genetic predisposition helps in choosing targeted treatments and slowing progression before irreversible follicles occur. It is always best to educate and keep yourself informed before choosing any treatment for yourself.
