This document discusses different types of hair loss including thinning hair, baldness, alopecia areata, and androgenic alopecia. Androgenic alopecia is the most common type and is caused by the hormone DHT which shrinks hair follicles, particularly on the top of the head. Treatments include finasteride which blocks DHT production, serums containing natural ingredients like saw palmetto which also blocks DHT, and hair transplants. Leimo is highlighted as a treatment that uses saw palmetto extracts along with low-level laser therapy to stimulate hair regrowth and prevent further hair thinning.

2. The word alopecia refers to any type of hair loss in any region
of the body where hair grows; it can be thinning hair or
baldness.
Hair loss, as experts say, is a normal process of aging and is
not considered a disease because it is not life-threatening and
sometimes other forms of alopecia can just correct or heal
itself like the loss that is caused by stress or commonly known
as “ telogen effluvium” .
A nother form of hair loss is alopecia areata.
This means “ hair loss in areas” and is an
autoimmune deficiency that can usually occur in
women and children. There are several forms of
alopecia and the most prevalent type that can be
observed in both men and women is androgenic
alopecia (male and female pattern baldness).

3. The onset of androgenic alopecia is typically thinning of the
hair, particularly at the temples and on the crown area. Over
time, hair thins progressively and thus shows precise patterns
which are the receding hairline or the horseshoe shape seen at
the front and the conspicuous bald spot at the top of the head.
Hairs on these areas are genetically susceptible to a hormone
dihydrotestosterone or DHT. thinning hair. This hormone is a
by-product of the male hormone testosterone converted with
the interaction of the 5-alpha reductase enzyme.
DHT causes thinning hair predominantly at the top, and hairs
on the sides and back remain unaffected as the follicles are
resistant to balding; these hair follicles continue to thrive and
grow healthy thick hair because they are resistant to the
damaging effects of DHT.

4. Treatments for androgenic alopecia may vary. Rich people opt to
undergo a hair transplant surgery to see fast results, though this
certain type of intricate surgery is only for people— most especially
men— who have lost a huge amount of hair that can no longer be
restored with topical solutions containing hair regrowth ingredients.
This is why early detection and prevention of hair loss is quite
imperative in order to avoid expensive hair transplant surgeries. A
drug used to cure baldness in men only is finasteride.
This works in preventing the hormone testosterone converting to the
hormone DHT which causes hair follicles to shrink. It is believed to
efficiently stop further baldness and promote hair regrowth. The
effects of finasteride are not evident for at least four months. A bout 1
in every 10 men who take finasteride experiences a loss of libido or is
having a decreased sex drive. Serums on the other hand are generally
used by majority as these are proven to stop thinning hair or pattern
baldness and regrow the lost hair.

5. Hair restoration experts encourage the afflicted people to use
products consisting of natural or herbal ingredients like the saw
palmetto extracts. This ingredient works like the finasteride
drug does but without any sexual side effects. Saw palmetto
obstructs the formation of DHT in the scalp and stimulates hair
regrowth as well. The extracts of saw palmetto are in fact
utilized in well-known hair loss products like L eimo as their
main and active ingredient in battling androgenic alopecia in
both genders.
