5 Most Common Types Of Baldness

Hair loss is a quite common problem affecting both men and women. There are several types of hair loss, and each type has its own unique symptoms and presents its own different hair shedding patterns. At Hair Transplant Dubai Clinic we treat a wide range of hair loss conditions, with Androgenic Alopecia being at the top. We have a team of internationally recognized hair transplant surgeons who will not only identify the specific type of hair loss you may be suffering from, but will also help you treat the condition accordingly.

But before you see a doctor, it is important that you should also have some basic knowledge of different hair loss conditions and their cause. Here we have outlined most common types of hair loss:

Male Pattern Baldness:

Probably the most common type of hair loss in men is Androgenic Alopecia, aka Male Pattern Baldness. It is a genetic hair loss condition that affects adult men. Androgenic Alopecia in men is characterized by a receding hairline and/or gradual thinning of vertex. What differentiates male pattern baldness from other types of hair loss is that it affects only top of head, while hair on back and sides remain intact.

Female Pattern Hair Loss:

It is Androgenic Alopecia affecting women. It is also type of genetic hair loss that mostly affects women in their 30s and onwards. According to a survey, up to 40% of women suffer from female pattern hair loss at some stage in their lives. Unlike men, women do not experience complete baldness anywhere on the scalp; instead they suffer from generalized hair thinning all over the head. However, like male pattern baldness, female pattern baldness also usually affects the top of the scalp.
