Hair loss or hair fall can be a serious condition when you are met with a tuft of hair while running your fingers through it, or without tugging at your scalp. It is also the number one concern among men and women in Singapore citing at 42% among those in their 40s, overtaking weight concerns.

Unfortunately, no amount of hair loss treatments or shampoos can offer solace to the thinning areas on your scalp if your scalp or hair’s needs are not met. In other words, it is important to understand the causes behind your hair fall, and then seek professional treatment to stop hair loss to see visible results. 

In this article, we will dive into the common types of hair loss and how hair meso therapy is efficient as a hair loss treatment to help men and women.

Some common types of hair loss include:

• Androgenetic alopecia

Also known as male or female pattern baldness, androgenetic alopecia is caused by genetic factors, as in its name. The term “androgenetic” refers to the increased production of androgen hormones, which may trigger weakened hair follicles and thinning areas around the temples and the crown of the head, causing a receding hairline.

• Involutional alopecia

One of the signs of ageing is hair loss. For men and women above the age of 50s, the period in between a typical hair cycle from its growth to its shedding phase is shortened. New hair may grow but at a slower rate, while hair fall occurs faster and longer, hence the formation of thinning areas on your scalp. This type of hair loss is called involutional alopecia.

• Traction alopecia

A more common cause of hair fall among women than men, traction alopecia is caused by tight hairdos, such as braids, ponytails or buns. By pulling on the hair, over time this can cause weakened hair follicles and hair breakages. For more visit
