Androgenic Alopecia

Androgenic alopecia, commonly known as male-pattern or female-pattern baldness, is a progressive form of hair loss caused by genetic and hormonal factors. It leads to thinning hair, a receding hairline, or bald spots, often following a specific pattern over time. While more common in men, women can also experience androgenic alopecia, typically manifesting as diffuse hair thinning rather than distinct bald patches. This condition is permanent but manageable, with advanced treatments designed to slow progression and stimulate regrowth.
