Hair is considered as one of the most defining aspects of human appearance, which is why it is also called crowning glory. But nowadays most people, especially youngsters are experiencing hair fall or hair thinning or a receding hairline. This loss can be attributed to genetics, hormonal patterns, diet, environmental pollution and lifestyle.
Dr. Pallavi Sule, Mumbai based dermatologist and aesthetic physician explains, “The baldness seen in men is called androgenetic alopecia. This is the most common cause of hair loss in about 50% of the population. In men, it presents as progressive involvement of the different areas of the scalp. Starting from the frontal, temporal, mid scalp then vertex. Androgenetic alopecia is hormone dependent and genetically mediated disorder."
