Androgenetic Alopecia treatment in Magdalena Contreras

Androgenetic alopecia is the most common form of hair loss and has a hereditary and hormonal component. It follows a characteristic pattern, different in men and women, and progresses gradually over time.

How it presents: in men it usually starts at the temples and the crown; in women, with diffuse thinning of the hair on the top of the head.

Which specialist treats it? The dermatologist is the one who assesses the scalp and the pattern of loss; the endocrinologist may step in when hormonal factors are suspected.

When to consult? If you notice progressive loss or a change in hair density, a professional assessment helps understand the cause and the available options.
