Hair Loss

When Is It Too Late?

The American medical Association reports that 25 percent of men begin balding by age 30, while 66 percent begin losing hair by age 60. When we’re young your scalp is thick and hair follicles have a rich supply of blood. With aging, the regeneration of follicles slows down. In males, the production of DHT has an increased influence on hair loss. With age the scalp thins, blood supply diminishes and the nutrition needed for hair growth is reduced. As a result follicles become smaller and hair shafts are thin. Treating hair loss early will slow this process down resulting in the positive hair growth many patients have experienced.
