This type of hair loss affects both men and women and is the most frequent cause of hair loss worldwide. Male pattern hair loss is a term used to describe hair loss in men. Female pattern baldness is a condition that affects women. Androgenic alopecia is the medical name for hair loss that occurs in both men and women. Whatever title you pick, it means you've inherited genes that cause your hair follicles (the root of each hair) to shrink and finally stop producing hair. Shrinking can start as early as your adolescent years, but it usually happens later in life. For further information, please contact us! 9891517570.
