Hair Loss in Men

Although there are a multitude of causes for Hair Loss in Men Port St. Lucie, most men and women who loose their hair do so because of a genetic predisposition-genes- they have inherited from their father or mother.

This "patterned" hair loss you may be esperiencing is extremely common and worsens with age, affecting about 15% of 18-29 years old men, 50% of men between the ages of 40 and 49 and 80% men over the age of 70!

The common characteristic of patterned hair loss is "miniaturization" where the hair gradually and insidiously changes from normal "terminal" hair follicles to "miniaturized" follicles that no longer cycle normally, become thinner and finer and loose their color, eventually falling out!

Men with patterned hair loss develop recession of their hairline, thinning and baldness of the frontal, midscalp and crown areas.

Unfortunately, patterned hair loss in men results in loss of hair throught your life time. The hair loss process doesn't stop until most or all your hair is lost, except for the "horshoe" of preserved hair noted even in the baldest of men.

If you are experiencing hair loss you should seek evaluation as soon as possible at Hair Loss in Men Port St. Lucie. The sooner the diagnosis for your hair loss is made the sooner your treatment may be started andyour hair loss process arrested.
