Understanding Hereditary Hair Loss

Genetic hair loss, also known as androgenetic alopecia, is a progressive form of hair loss that can develop gradually.

Seeking early treatment is important, as it may help slow the progression of hair loss and maintain your hair’s natural vitality. At Svenson, our trichologists can assess your hair concerns and recommend an appropriate treatment plan.

Causes and Symptoms of Genetic Hair Loss

Hereditary hair loss is often influenced by genetic and hormonal factors that cause hair follicles to shrink over time.

In men, genetic hair loss often begins at the temples and may progress toward the crown, creating an “M” shaped hairline. In women, it typically appears as overall thinning, particularly around the parting.

Early consultation can help identify suitable options for managing hair loss and supporting existing hair.

Frequently Asked Questions

Consider whether hair thinning or baldness runs in your family. In men, genetic hair loss typically starts at both temples, with the hairline receding into an “M” shape, followed by thinning at the crown. In women, it begins with gradual thinning at the part line.

Book a hair and scalp analysis at Svenson to be certain.

Genetic hair loss can begin as early as your 20s, when testosterone converts to a hormone linked to follicle shrinkage. Call Svenson to get started.

Genetic hair loss is progressive. The longer it goes unaddressed, the more it may progress over time. Book a hair and scalp analysis with one of our certified trichologists to find a suitable treatment for you.

Contrary to the common belief that baldness is inherited from the mother’s side of the family, studies suggest that it may actually depend on genes contributed by both parents.

Some over-the-counter options may offer improvements, but medications like minoxidil and finasteride may carry side effects such as changes in blood pressure or sexual health concerns. At Svenson, your program is guided by certified trichologists using treatments tailored to your hair and scalp needs.

Unfortunately, there is currently no known definitive cure for genetic hair loss. However, Svenson offers hair care treatments designed to help support hair over time.
