Pattern Hair Loss

Pattern hair loss that occurs in males are known as Male Pattern Hair Loss (MPHL) and females who experience it are known as Female Pattern Hair Loss (FPHL).

What is common between them is that it typically affects the top and front of the scalp. In males, hair loss typically presents as a receding hairline while in females, it typically presents as a thinning of the hair.

MPHL is believed to be due to a combination of genetics and the male hormone, Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and it often referred to as Androgenetic Alopecia. Men with MPHL usually have higher levels of 5 alpha reductase, lower total testosterone and increased levels of DHT.

It has been thought that high levels of DHT leads to miniaturisation of the hair follicles causing them to weaken and leads to hair loss. Androgenetic alopecia is usually experienced as a moderately stressful condition that diminishes body image satisfaction although the psychological effects of hair-loss tends to be greater in women.
