Scalp Types
Not all hair loss is cut from the same cloth. Pinpointing your scalp type marks the inaugural stride in your quest for regrowth.
Female Genetic Hair Loss
The leading cause of hair loss is due to genetics. The good news? You have a choice in stopping it. Both male and female pattern hair loss can be identified through a scalp evaluation, and even stopped in its tracks. Boosting treatments can yield satisfying results leading to regrowth and regained confidence.
Male Genetic Hair Loss

Boosting treatments can yield satisfying results leading to regrowth and regained confidence.
Female Genetic Hair Loss typically reveals itself with the widening of the hair part on the top of the head, often referred to as the “Christmas tree effect.” This phenomenon is commonly observed on the top of the scalp, temples, and sides. It serves as an initial indicator of female pattern hair loss, a condition triggered by the conversion of the hormone Dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT has the notorious ability to constrict blood flow to the hair, leading to the miniaturization of hair shafts, dry follicles, and eventually, the cessation of hair growth. Additionally, DHT induces inflammation in the scalp, resulting in tenderness and itchiness.
​
Women frequently attribute their hair loss to health issues such as thyroid problems, stress, or pregnancy. While these factors can contribute, they often play a role in genetic hair loss (androgenetic alopecia). Unlike the past, where concealing and camouflaging were the only options, there are now guaranteed treatment options to halt hair loss and promote regrowth.

Male Genetic Hair Loss
Almost half of American men grapple with male pattern baldness (Androgenetic Alopecia) by the time they hit 50, with a staggering 85 percent experiencing significant hair thinning by then (courtesy of AmericanHairLoss.org).
As men traverse the sands of time, their hairline undergoes a maturation process, signaling the onset of Male Pattern Baldness for some. The Norwood Scale, a guide to male hair loss progression, delineates seven stages, with the initial phases making an entrance as early as 16 years of age.
​
Another hair loss trajectory for men takes the form of alopecia probability. Men in their 20s face a 20% chance of hair loss, which climbs to 30% in their 30s, 40% in their 40s, and so forth. The sooner the specter of hair loss looms, the more substantial the impending loss. Swift action upon noticing the issue is paramount.
Male hair loss typically owes its allegiance to genetics (Androgenetic Alopecia) and, more specifically, the transformation of testosterone into Dihydrotestosterone (DHT). By the time the first signs of hair loss emerge, approximately 50% of the affected hair has already undergone miniaturization. DHT, the saboteur in this follicular drama, diminishes blood flow to hair follicles, leading to a progressive thinning of hair density. Our avant-garde Hair Recovery Programs take the lead in thwarting hair loss and rejuvenating hair through cutting-edge therapies.
​
How does DHT join the male pattern hair loss narrative? The testosterone hormone takes a detour to the testes, where the enzyme 5a-reductase engineers its transformation into DHT. Once this conversion is complete, DHT locks arms with androgens, setting off a chain reaction:
-
Decreased blood flow prompts follicular miniaturization.
-
Hair protein, nutrients, water, and oxygen witness a decline.
-
Disruption in cell division sends the follicle into dormancy.
Alopecia
Autoimmune Hair Loss – What Does It Entail? A prevalent contributor to hair loss is autoimmune disease, impacting over 15 million Americans to date. This condition is characterized by the emergence of patches or total hair loss from the scalp or any hair-bearing area. The root cause? An immune system on the offensive, targeting body areas responsible for hair production in an effort to conserve energy.
To delve deeper into this form of hair loss and arrange a complimentary hair evaluation, explore the intricacies of shock shedding, stress-induced hair loss, and more.
It's a well-known fact that stress can take a toll on our overall health. However, in the realm of hair loss, many are taken aback when, months after life stressors like illness, emotional trauma, stringent dieting, pregnancy, or surgery, copious shedding ensues, resulting in diminished hair volume and strength.
Telogen Effluvium, the culprit behind this excessive shedding, is a temporary condition that can be reversed with proper care.
