Calvitism, also called “Androgenetic alopecia”, is the acceleration of hair loss. It is a frequent phenomenon that affects around 30% of men. The main cause of androgenetic alopecies is heredity linked to genetics. Men whose relatives have been affected by baldness are more likely to be affected, especially if they are relatives on the maternal side. Stress, tobacco, poor diet and pollution can also accelerate baldness but only if genetics is already in question. Generally, this progressive hair loss is more marked at the top of the skull and on the temples.
In some cases, baldness is said to be “early”: “She can start very early, around the age of 17. Hair loss sets in
Often quickly with large, sometimes 19-20 year olds“Underlines Dr. Eric Bouhanna, plastic surgeon, exclusive specialist in hair transplant. When she occurs so young, baldness is often a source of stress and has a negative psychological impact in humans.
Fortunately “In the majority of cases, baldness is gradually starting between 30 and 40 years. It can also start later, as part of natural aging. Indeed, all men undergo a loss of progressive density, around 60 – 70 yearsaccording to our interlocutor. Actually, “The sooner it begins, the faster its evolution towards a great baldness. Conversely, the more baldness occurs at a late age, the slower and limited its evolution“He describes.
Treatments exist to delay the appearance of baldness in humans. “These treatments aim to brake the action of testosterone on hair. Two drugs have scientifically proven their effectiveness in the context of androgenetic alopecia: minoxidil and finasteride or propecia.” If the hair has already fallen, drugs lose interest. The only way to treat alopecia is then the hair transplant. She uses resistant hair to repopulate the bald areas. It is a very special intervention which must be carried out in a suitable medical center.
