Difference between hair LOSS and hair THINNING

Is there a difference 


                           Between Hair LOSS

                                           And hair THINNING?


While hair loss can be a quick or prolonged process, it depends on the cause, hair thinning, also described as hair quantity decrease, is generally felt more over time with age, resulting in fewer, smaller and weaker hair follicles.

The medical term for hair loss is Alopecia. Alopecia can be temporary or permanent. The most common and normal process is the loss of hair over time and aging. This is called Androgentic Alopecia. It also the most treatable. 

Hair Loss versus Hair Shedding. Normal hair loss is anywhere from 25-100 hairs a day, in the NORMAL shedding cylce. Keep in mind, this can be different from person to person. Another thought is if the hair is producing a new hair as fast as the ones that are shedding? This is where hair loss becomes more evident on the scalp. There are certain stress factors that can cause temporary hair loss, and when this occurs, the body adjusts, and the hair returns to its usual hair cycle. However, if the stress factors remain, excessive hair shedding can be long lived, and becomes hair loss. 

Hair loss occurs when something stops hairs from growing, this forms of hair loss requires medical treatment. Not all forms of hair loss is treatable. A certified Trichlogist will be able to tell you what to expect and prescribe a treatment plan if necessary. The sooner the treatment begins, the better the prognosis. A certified Trichologist will use a scoping procedure called a Cappilus ProScope at the hair follicle to see how healthy the follicle is, and if you can or cannot re-generate new hair growth. 

The good news is, you really dont need to distinguish between hair loss and hair thinning, as that is what Tricholgists are for, as sometimes its both.
