Hormonal alopecia

Hormonal alopecia This is a type of hair loss associated with hormonal imbalances in the body. Hormonal changes can affect the hair growth cycle, the condition of the hair follicles and the rate at which they function.

One of the most common causes hormonal hair loss There is excessive sensitivity of the hair follicles to the effects of androgens, in particular dihydrotestosterone (DHT). This hormone can lead to a gradual weakening of the hair, a shortening of the growth phase and a reduction in hair density.

This problem often affects women as well. Increased hair loss can occur, for example, after pregnancy, during the perimenopausal period, or as a result of other hormonal disorders. In these situations, the main factors are changes in oestrogen levels and their impact on the natural hair growth cycle.

Treatment of alopecia Hormonal treatment requires identifying the cause of the problem and assessing the condition of the scalp and hair follicles. A suitably tailored treatment plan can help reduce excessive hair loss and support the maintenance of healthy hair.
