 Home > Alopecia (Balding) Alopecia
(Balding & Hair Loss)Alopecia is the medical term for partial or complete loss
of hair. Alopecia affects both men and women and is very common. There are many potential causes of alopecia, including genetic factors, aging, disease, radiation, stress, and poor nutrition. It includes both scarring (hair follicles are destroyed) and non-scarring (potentially reversible) types. Male-pattern baldness (androgenic alopecia) is the most prominent type of hair disorder and affects, to varying degrees, 50% of males over 50 years of age. Hair shaft disorders are usually hereditary hair shaft abnormalities. Systemic disease and poor prognosis often accompany these latter disorders.Risk Factors for Alopecia:
- Genetic predisposition
- Pregnancy
- Age
- Physical or emotional stress
- Poor diet
