The part of the body that dominates all the others is the one that first meets our gaze, in full view, in evidence: thick hair and hairstyles that defy gravity. p>
Still, not for everyone like this.
In Italy, male adolescents begin to deal with hair loss phenomena around the age of 18 and 20, there are also forms of premature baldness which can occur already around 15 years old.
Baldness mainly affects men , who represent 60%, while 40% of cases of hair loss see women as protagonists who show a late onset of baldness and a slower progression compared to the male one with a percentage that has clearly increased in recent years.
For the majority of people (both male and female) affected by the problem, it is androgenic alopecia (AGA), the most common form of baldness, caused by the action of androgen hormones where testosterone is transformed into dihydrotestosterone (DHT) affecting the hair follicles of the scalp in genetically predisposed subjects.
The hair becomes thinner, undergoes a progressive miniaturization and superficialisation favoring its thinning.
