We at AP Trichology believe there is NOT just one form of female pattern thinning; androgenic in appearance* – but TWO forms:
- ‘Acquired’ pattern thinning due metabolic-hormonal compensatory mechanisms – the most common form of female pattern thinning in our experience. Our empirical studies suggest acquired pattern thinning occurs in increasing numbers of women due to a disordering of sex hormones + their carrier proteins from hyperinsulinaemia (commonly known as Insulin Resistance).
- Genetically inherited female androgenic alopecia, where the condition is seen after puberty in the majority of women within an extended family (ie: mothers, daughters, maternal grandmothers, sisters, female cousins).
We also investigate and treat all forms of alopecia; areata or cicatricial (aka ‘scarring’ alopecia). Disturbances in gut function and its flow-on effects for the body is a persistent, overwhelming trigger for alopecia areata in young children & many adults.
*BOTH forms will exhibit as follicle miniaturization
