Causes of Hair Loss

Androgenic Alopecia
Androgenic alopecia is an inherited sensitivity to DHT that causes hair follicles to shrink, leading to thinner hair and bald patches. Androgenic alopecia is also called male- and female-patterned baldness.
Lifestyle Factors
Poor diet, chronic stress, illicit drug use, and other habits can cause hair loss and hair thinning.
Certain Medications
Medications that affect hormone levels can trigger hair loss. So can medications for high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, and cholesterol.
Medical Conditions
A variety of health concerns can affect hair loss and hair growth, including thyroid disease and anemia.

Hair Loss Patterns

Hair loss affects about half of men and women by the time they turn 50.

Men typically experience balding that starts at the forehead, and/or at the crown of the head.

Women typically experience hair thinning all over the head, as well as at the center part of the hair.

Hormone Testing for Hair Loss

Measuring hormone levels can identify imbalances that impact hair loss. Defy Medical uses blood testing to create a targeted treatment plan, so you see the best possible results. We also recommend general testing for conditions like heart disease and metabolic disorders, which can affect your hair.
