This week, we'll start a five day look at androgenetic alopecia in men (also called male pattern balding). The identification of so called "vellus" hairs is important in understanding male balding. Vellus hairs are tiny hairs less than 30 micrometers in diameter. They are present on the normal nonbalding scalp but only in low proportions. In male balding, the proportion of vellus hairs rises considerably as large "terminal" hairs are converted to tiny "vellus" hairs. In advanced balding, the vellus hairs disappear leaving a completely bald scalp in the affected areas. Enjoy the week ahead! #hair #hairloss #aga #malepatternbalding #mpb

Androgenetic alopecia affects both men and women. In men, this type of hair loss is referred to as ‘male pattern balding (MPB)’ and in women it is referred to as ‘female pattern hair loss (FHPL)’ . In both men and women, the condition is characterized by conversion of large terminal hairs (T) into thinner miniaturized hairs (M) and finally to vellus hairs (V). #androgeneticalopecia #malepatternbalding

Finasteride is FDA approved for the treatment of male pattern hair loss at a dose of 1 mg and also FDA approved for the treatment of male prostate enlargement (a condition called benign prostatic hypertrophy) at a dose of 5 mg. The drug works by inhibiting an enzyme known as "5 alpha reductase type 2." This enzyme normally helps covert testosterone (T) to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). By blocking this pathway, DHT levels are lowered in the scalp by about 60 % and bloodstream by 70 %. Topical finasteride may also be an option to treat male pattern hair loss but good studies have yet to be done and I am not yet convinced either way. #finasteride #malepatternbalding #androgeneticalopecia
