Hair may start to disappear from the temples and the crown of the head at any time. For some men this process starts as early as the later teenage years, for most it happens in the later 20's and early 30's. Mild to moderate hair loss affects about 50% of all men by the time they are 50.

Alopecia is the medical term for hair loss. Although there are many types of alopecia that cause hair loss, 95% of all hair loss is caused by Androgenetic Alopecia. Better known as Male Pattern Hair Loss, this type of alopecia is genetic and can be inherited from either parent. When the hair loss gene is activated, it signals the hair follicle to produce an enzyme 5 alpha reductase.

When the testosterone that is in the hair follicle combines with the enzyme 5 alpha reductase, it produces dihyrdrotestosterone. Hair follicle receptors are sensitive to DHT and this is what starts male pattern hair loss.

Today there are many solutions that are very effective. You can try to stop or slow down your hair loss, or you can non-surgically replace your hair, or you can surgically restore your hair. To get expert advice about what solutions are best for your male pattern hair loss, contact Keystone.
