About Hair Loss

What are the causes of hair loss?

Hair loss is usually hereditary, meaning it is caused by your genetic makeup.

Other non-genetic causes of hair loss include

  • Chemotherapy
  • Underactive thyroid
  • Overuse of streroids
  • Scalp infections
  • Poor diet (low iron)
  • Stress & depression

How can hair loss be treated?

Treatments for hair loss are focussed on preventing loss as opposed to regrowing already lost hair.

There are two clinically validate approaches:

  • Reducing levels of dihydrotestosterone with oral finasteride
  • Improving blood flow in the scalp with topical minoxidil

Testosterone is converted to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in your body by an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase. DHT causes hair loss. Finasteride blocks the enzyme resulting in a lowering of DHT.

Minoxidil when used on the scalp in a foam or shampoo is stimulates hair growth. It is beleived to increase blood flow in the scalp, meaning that hair follicles get more nutrients.
