Nurturing Your Skin Through the Season

Hair loss is something most of us will experience at some point in life. While it’s often associated with aging, the truth is, hair thinning and shedding can start earlier than expected — and for a variety of reasons. Understanding why hair loss happens is the first step toward finding the right solution. At SkinMD, we’re here to explain the science behind it and how a hair transplant can help you restore not just your hair, but your confidence. The Science Behind Hair Loss Your hair grows in cycles: anagen (growth phase), catagen (transition phase), and telogen (resting/shedding phase). Normally, most of your hair is in the growth phase, but certain factors can disrupt this balance, causing more hairs to enter the shedding phase. The most common cause is androgenetic alopecia — better known as male or female pattern baldness. This is driven by genetics and hormones, specifically dihydrotestosterone (DHT) , a byproduct of testosterone that can shrink hair follicles over time. As the follicles shrink, the hair becomes thinner, shorter, and eventually stops growing altogether. Other factors that can accelerate or trigger hair loss include: Hormonal changes from pregnancy, menopause, or thyroid imbalances Nutritional deficiencies such as low iron, protein, or vitamin D Stress — both physical (illness, surgery) and emotional Medical conditions like autoimmune disorders or scalp infections While some of these causes are temporary and reversible, genetic hair loss tends to be progressive without treatment.
