Alopecia is considered to be hair loss. There are different causes of hair loss which are classified into different types, depending on the reason for the fall. In men it can start from an early age or at any time in their life. It is extremely important to treat hair loss as soon as it starts, since this way we will avoid reaching an advanced degree in a short time.
Androgenic alopecia is the cause of the hair follicle being unable to survive on the scalp. This occurs because the hair follicle decreases in size, eventually disappearing completely and therefore the hair as well.
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is the hormone involved in the weakening of the hair follicles on the top of the head, and therefore, it is the one that favors the development of the typical characteristics of hair affected by androgenic alopecia. At some point, even though the hair follicle is still alive and remains on the scalp, due to its miniaturization the hair simply stops growing.

The Norwood scale is used to objectively measure the degree of baldness in men. In the image below you can observe the degrees numbered from 1 to 7 taking into account 1 as the degree least affected by alopecia. Every case is dependent on each individual, therefore it should not be considered as a rule.
This condition is caused by several factors, with genetics being the most significant factor. Genes are passed down from your mother and father, so any signs of baldness in the family are considerable. There are several factors that could accelerate the presence of androgenetic alopecia:
- Emotional, metabolic, or physical stress
- High blood pressure
- Fungal infections on the scalp
- Bad nutrition
- Hormonal imbalance
- Genetic predisposition (being genetics the most significant factor)

It is important to evaluate the conditions of our scalp in terms of loss of density, thinning of the hair, or if there are currently empty or thinning areas that previously had hair. An aggressive fall can occur where there is empty skin or low density in areas such as the frontal hairline, central part of the scalp, or crown area.

When determining that there is hair loss, the first step is going to a hair restoration specialist in order to carry out a professional and personalized classification of the type of alopecia you suffer from along with the suggested treatment.
If there are empty or thinning areas on your scalp the best solution is:
DHI Hair Transplant: Modern and safe technique that allows hair to be placed in the desired area (frontal hairline / central area / crown).
There are different hair transplant techniques, however, the most effective one of all is manually extracting and implanting the follicles one by one in a personalized manner, this way achieving optimal results.
