What Is Androgenetic Hair Loss?
Androgenetic hair loss, also known as male or female pattern hair loss, is a genetic condition. It is the most common type of hair loss and usually follows a predictable pattern.
In men, androgenetic hair loss typically begins with a receding hairline and thinning at the crown of the head, eventually leading to partial or complete baldness. Women are likelier to experience a widening part and noticeable thinning but rarely develop complete baldness.
Androgenetic hair loss is partly caused by the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is derived from testosterone. In individuals with a genetic predisposition, DHT can bind to hair follicles, causing them to shrink over time. As a result, the affected follicles produce thinner, shorter and less pigmented hair until they eventually cease to produce hair altogether.
While androgenetic hair loss can be distressing, treatment options are available to slow the progression of hair loss, promote hair regrowth and improve overall hair density and quality.

Androgenetic hair loss (also known as male or female pattern baldness) is a common type of hair loss influenced by genetics and hormonal factors. At Kaya Cosmedica we take a thorough approach, starting with a consultation to take a detailed medical history to identify any contributing factors. A scalp examination helps to assess the pattern and extent of hair loss. We may refer you to undertake blood tests to check for underlying conditions that could contribute to hair loss such as thyroid dysfunction, iron deficiency and PCOS. Treatments options, including lifestyle modifications will be customised and options are listed below.
