Hair loss

Hair loss symptoms

The classic symptom of hair loss is - unsurprisingly - excessive hair loss. However, hair growth disorders can manifest themselves earlier in the form of reduced hair quality. Thin, brittle, but also dull, colorless hair can be the first signs of hair loss. However, hair loss is only diagnosed when more than 100 hairs are lost per day. However, a daily loss of up to 100 hairs is normal.

Hair loss causes

Not all hair loss is the same; the causes and the form in which it occurs can vary greatly. The causes are well researched in dermatology, and here you will find the most common forms of hair loss and the underlying causes:

• Hereditary hair loss (alopecia androgenetica) is the most common form of hair loss. In men, it usually begins with a receding hairline at the temples and/or thin hair at the top of the head. In women, thinning hair can be observed in this case, especially in the crown area.
• If bald patches develop on the head, this is known as circular hair loss (alopecia areata).
• Diffuse hair loss (alopecia diffusa) occurs when hair falls out all over the head.

Laser and light treatments
