I'm getting bold? Hair has always had a strong social connotation, both hair loss (alopecia) and increased body hair. Undoubtedly, hair loss is not only a cosmetic or aesthetic problem, it is a health problem due to its multiple implications in the patient's life or psychology. Thanks to the knowledge we have today about hair health, we know at what age alopecia begins. It can start early (around age 17 or 18), middle age (ages 35 to 45), or later in life (after age 50). If you are beginning to notice changes in your hair and you are worried about it, we are going to give you the answers to that question that you are surely thinking about: “How do I know if I am going bald or have alopecia?”. Alopecia is the premature loss or absence of hair in one or more parts of the body, the term is considered synonymous with baldness. It can affect the scalp or other areas of the skin where there is hair, such as the eyelashes, eyebrows, armpits, genital region and beard. The first symptoms of baldness that attract the most attention are, mainly, a greater amount of hair that falls day after day in some places such as the pillow, the shower or the comb. CAUSES OF ALOPECIA Congenital (hair follicle aplasia) Destruction of the Hair Follicle Physical/Chemical Trauma Skin infections Skin tumors Special dermatoses Telogen induction (telogenic effluvium) Androgenetic alopecia (follicular miniaturization) Alopecia Areata Anagenic Defluvium How do I know if I have androgenetic alopecia? When androgenetic alopecia begins to progress, certain changes are seen in the frontal hairline. Little by little it will be noticed that it begins to recede with respect to its front line, appearing the well-known entrances. On the other hand, a noticeable change is made in the upper part of the head and the known area of the crown. On the other hand, the hair becomes more fluffy, changes its thickness or color and becomes almost imperceptible. This is known as miniaturized vellus hair and also follicular atrophy of proteoglycans. In the case of women, specifically, total baldness does not occur in a certain area of the head, but the hair in general begins to discolor, shorten and become much finer. What can I do against androgenetic alopecia? With the help of specialized doctors, alopecia can be stabilized through different advanced hair treatments. Said treatments, such as capillary mesotherapy or the capillary prp technique, must be prescribed and carried out only by highly qualified professionals considering each particular case. On the other hand, there are other hair treatments to strengthen the scalp and surgical interventions such as hair grafting with the FUE technique or with the DHI technique for women, which is the best alternative to recover hair in areas where a fall has already occurred.
