Fact File
Men
The most common form of hair loss in men goes by the name Male-pattern baldness (or Androgenetic Alopecia) but is not unique to men.
Male-pattern baldness is responsible for almost 90% of all men’s hair loss problems.
By the age of 50, young by today’s standards, 50% of men will have lost hair due to this condition.
Female hair loss problems are more common than is generally believed. Some 4 million women are affected by thinning hair in Australia. That is 4 out of every 10 females!
Thinning hair in females is likely the effect of hormonal changes and genetic predisposition; pregnancy, thyroid problems, and the menopause – all may contribute to gradual hair loss.
Genetic Hair Loss/DHT
Genetic hair loss is one of the hardest conditions to recover from because fighting your own genetics isn't child's play. It takes a lot to overcome and reverse something that has been programmed into you since birth.
The DNA Code
Of all the genetic defects that come down the family tree, one of the most common and emotionally devastating is Pattern Baldness. It is now scientifically proven that a form of the male testosterone hormone (DHT) is responsible for thinning hair in both men AND women!

Alopecia Areata At A Glance
Alopecia areata typically causes one or more patches of hair loss.
Alopecia areata tends to affect younger individuals, both male and female.
An autoimmune disorder, in which the immune system attacks hair follicles, is believed to cause alopecia areata.
For most patients, the condition resolves without treatment within a year, but hair loss is sometimes permanent.
Many treatments are promoted which have not proven to be of benefit.
