How to treat male androgenic alopecia?

More than 80% of people with alopecia are androgenetic alopecia, also called premature alopecia, commonly known as "baldness". It means that after entering adulthood, the hair gradually falls off, the temples recede rapidly, the front hair edge rises, and the hair on the top of the head is sparse or even bald, which is gradually aggravated. The disease is characterized by progressive alopecia of the forehead and the top of the head, and often begins to appear at the age of 20-30.

The most fundamental cause of androgenetic alopecia is the high androgen in men. When it is higher than a certain level, DHT will be generated under the catalysis of an enzyme (receptor) in the hair follicles on the forehead and the top of the head, which is the chief culprit in damaging hair follicles. Once formed, it will constantly attack healthy hair follicles, making them shrink, thin and soft, shortening the growth cycle until the hair follicles are necrotic and the hair can no longer grow.

However, this enzyme (receptor) which can interact with androgen only exists in the forehead and the top of the head, and the distribution range and concentration of different individuals' constitutions are different, so this is why hair loss generally does not come off the back of the head, but on the forehead and the top of the head.

How should androgenetic alopecia be treated?

1, males shed early.

At the beginning of male hair loss, the hair still looks thick, but when you wash your hair every day, you will find a lot of hair loss, usually above 80- 100. However, from this period on, choosing some medical-grade anti-hair loss shampoos, maintaining good work and rest habits, and supplementing vitamins will have a good effect on alleviating the speed of hair loss and delaying male hair loss.

2. Stagnant metaphase.

At this time, the condition of the top of the head is obviously sparse, or the hairline has begun to move backwards, but the hair loss area is still not obvious. At this time, some drugs can be selected to promote hair growth and inhibit the development speed of hermaphroditism. Generally, men are suitable for oral finasteride and topical minoxidil at this time, and women only need topical minoxidil, which will delay hermaphroditism.

3. Male abscission in late stage.

At this time, there is obvious hair loss area on the top of the head, and the hair loss area is smooth without obvious pores. At this time, no matter whether you use medicine or wash your hair, you will not wake up the sleeping hair follicles. If you want to regrow hair in the hair loss area, you can only do it by transplanting hair.

To sum up, in order to improve hair loss, we must first determine the degree of hair loss and the health status of scalp hair follicles, in order to be effectively improved.
