3 Common Types of Hair Loss | TrichoLab

1. Excessive Hair Loss

Thinning hair at the front hairline with the scalp visible between sparse strands

Causes

There are many causes such as heredity (male pattern or female pattern hair loss), hormonal changes (e.g. pregnancy, menopause), medical conditions (e.g. alopecia areata), medication (e.g. for depression and heart problems), stress and lastly, hairstyles.

Recommended Solutions

  • Derma Roller Treatment

Features

2. Primary Hair Loss

A receding hairline with fine, sparse hairs and bare scalp at the temples

Causes

Androgenetic alopecia (male pattern/female pattern hair loss) can be classified under primary hair loss. It occurs more commonly in men than in women. In both men and women, dihydrotestosterone (DHT) binds with the hair follicles causing them to shrink. Hair will grow out thinner, more brittle and eventually, there will be hair loss.

  • Intense Scalp Treatment

Features

Derma roller to promote blood circulation to stimulate hair growth and copper peptides to block DHT.

3. Secondary Hair Loss

The top of a head showing a widened parting and diffuse thinning across the crown

Causes

Chronic diseases or scalp inflammation like alopecia areata that directly or indirectly lead to hair loss can be classified under secondary hair loss. For example, hair loss due to treatment/medication for cancer can also be classified under secondary hair loss.
