How to Recognize the Early Signs of Androgenetic Alopecia


Androgenetic alopecia, commonly referred to as male or female pattern hair loss, is one of the most prevalent forms of hair thinning worldwide. Recognizing its early signs can make a significant difference in managing the condition before it progresses. Early intervention offers better chances of slowing down or partially reversing the hair loss process.

Another early indicator is increased hair shedding. While it’s normal to lose 50–100 hairs a day, consistent hair on your pillow, in your shower drain, or on your hairbrush could be a red flag. However, it's essential to differentiate androgenetic alopecia from telogen effluvium, a temporary condition where stress, illness, or hormonal shifts cause sudden and widespread shedding.

Early detection of androgenetic alopecia allows for more effective treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and PRP therapy. Dermis Oracle provides expert, science-backed hair and scalp assessments to guide personalized treatment plans for optimal results.
