Hair loss overview

What is hair loss?

Hair loss (alopecia) is a condition when hair begins to fall out faster than it is renewed. It is normal to lose 50-100 hairs daily, but when more is lost, it can lead to noticeable thinning or baldness.

When does it start?

In men, hair loss can start as early as the early twenties, while in women it usually starts after menopause. Genetics plays a key role in determining when and how hair will be lost.

Who is affected?

50% of men over 50 and 25% of women after menopause experience significant hair loss. The problem can start as early as the 20s.

Important to know

Early treatment gives significantly better results. The earlier treatment begins, the greater the chances of successfully solving the hair loss problem.
