The two most common forms of hair loss are androgenetic alopecia (also known as androgenic alopecia) and diffuse alopecia.

Androgenetic alopecia:

• is hereditary,
• occurs in almost 90 percent of all men over 21 years of age
• increasingly occurs in women as well.

In androgenetic alopecia, the temples and the back of the head are affected.
At first, receding hairlines form at the temples.
This is followed by the back of the head with hair loss in the form of a tonsure.

Diffuse alopecia:

• manifests with progressive hair loss,
• is distributed over the entire scalp,
• occurs very frequently in women,
• is accompanied by thinning, feeble hair.

Causes of diffuse alopecia include:

• malnutrition
• various medications
• hormonal changes (such as during the menopause)
• autoimmune diseases (with the immune system attacking hair follicles)
• stress

You will find out which form of hair loss is present in your case from our doctors during an initial, non-binding consultation. As part of this initial consultation, a medical examination of your scalp will also take place, which is based, among other things, on our HairMetrix procedure. In our HairMetrix procedure, special images of your scalp are taken. It is not necessary to cut your hair in order to do the hair scan. Thanks to fully automated analysis in real time, the results are available for immediate evaluation. Based on this initial examination, our doctor will recommend a suitable therapy for you and create an individual treatment plan for you.

While hair loss affects both men and women, it can be particularly challenging for women. According to Harvard Health Publishing, every third woman experiences hair loss (alopecia) at some time in her life. Two-thirds of women suffer from thinning hair or bald areas.

Before seeking treatment for hair loss, a visit to the dermatologist is advised to identify its underlying cause. While possible causes for hair loss in women include iron deficiencies or thyroid disorders, the most common type of hair loss is androgenetic alopecia which stems from a genetic predisposition.

Usually, female pattern hair loss affects other areas of the scalp than male pattern baldness. For women, hair loss usually results in an all-over hair thinning and is most visible at the top of the head. Meanwhile, hair loss in men often starts at the hairline, usually at the sides of the head.

Three good reasons speak for our autologous hair treatment:.

1. Autologous hair root treatment can reduce hair loss.
2. Shaky, thin, brittle hair can become dense, full and strong again following the therapy.
3. Transplanted hair is more likely to grow in a new place in combination with autologous blood hair root treatment.

Yes, diffuse hair loss is common, especially in women. An autologous blood treatment is very effective in this case.

The golden rule when it comes to hair loss: The earlier, the better. It is best to start treatment immediately after the diagnosis of hair loss. The sooner the damaged hair roots receive the rich blood plasma, the quicker and more successful the treatment will be.

The hair loss is already more advanced? Then the treatment requires more time and patience. The reason: The hair roots are already more damaged and need more regeneration time.

A hair transplant is the transplantation of body hair. Hair transplants are performed for treating hair loss in both men and women.

Theoretically, there is no age limit for hair transplants. For example, hair transplants for children who lost parts of their hair due to accidents or burns, are a medical necessity and therefore considered reconstructive treatments.

Practically, hair transplants are not recommended for people under the age of 25, because in most cases the hair loss is not completed yet. If transplanted too early, the grafted areas are resistant to progressive loss, but the natural hair would continue to be lost. This would leave lonely islands of hair on the bald head if the hair loss continues.

It is therefore recommended that a hair transplant is only executed when the hair loss has stopped or is in a late stage. The anamnesis and the examination results are therefore decisive so that the transplantation is executed at the right time in life.

If a patient decides to have a hair transplant at a young age, contrary to the recommendation, it is possible that more interventions need to be carried out in the future.
