Problems in pattern alopecia

Abstract: Female pattern hair loss (FPHL) was originally described as synonymous with androgenetic alopecia. However, the role of androgens in FPHL has not been proven, and the etiology is not yet defined. Several patterns of hair loss in women have been described, in addition to descriptions of scarring alopecias mimicking FPHL. In this paper, we discuss FPHL as an entity other than androgenetic alopecia and suggest that de-emphasizing the physicians reliance on pattern in the diagnosis of hair loss in women, and inste… Show more

“…The genetic precisely influences androgen affecting hair growth, of which male pattern baldness and heavy beard growth are obviously similar in families . Although there are several disorders causing hair loss as there were extensively presented and discussed regarding pattern alopecia including hypotheses on skull expansion relating to alopecia and the clinical evaluation, AGA is the main focus of this article respecting to its clinical importance.…”

“…The length of each phase is regulated by intrinsic and extrinsic factors throughout life and it is influenced by physiological and pathological conditions. [5,6] In a female pattern hair loss, there are alterations in the dynamics of the capillary cycle, whereby the anagen phase shortens and the telogen phase lengthens. Thus, in each cycle, there is a miniaturization of the hair.…”

“…Thus, the stem cells can be activated, allowing for a greater repair and a healing of the tissues. [5] Photobiomodulation induces a photochemical reaction in the cells, without producing any thermal effect, or causing any irreversible damage. Effects, such as a proliferation, a migration, an oxygenation, and an adhesion, are all induced and this may allow for the growth of the hair, by promoting the exit of the follicle from the telogen phase and stimulating the active anagen phase.…”
