At the age of twenty-four, Frank Petrosky began experiencing hair loss. As with many who suffer hair loss at an early age, this experience caused a devastating blow to Frank's self-esteem and sense of well-being as a young man. But in 1969, Frank stumbled upon an article about a new technique for hair loss restoration that changed his life profoundly, charting a new course for the direction of his life and career in the decades to come.
Hair loss, medically known as alopecia, has a wide variety of causes. While it is normal to shed 50 to 100 hairs a day, significant and noticeable hair loss may be temporary or permanent. It is important to discover the cause so the correct treatment can be initiated.
Telogen Effluvium is the term that is used when temporary hair loss occurs, usually at the top of the head. Often occurring at the part area of the head, it is not usually characterized by a receding hairline. It happens after an extreme shock, significant stress, or if someone has experienced a very traumatic event.
People from all walks of life, all ages, and all types of appearances often have a fear of dating. Even when things are at their best, an extroverted person can suddenly become shy when it comes to entering the dating world. Add hair loss into the equation, and suddenly, even the calmest person can become extremely anxious.
Many people, both men and women, experience a receding hairline. They look in the mirror and suddenly realize that their hairline is moving further back. Often times, these people are frustrated and may feel that their options are limited. However, those with a receding hairline may have heard of Minoxidil and its effectiveness when applied to the scalp.
While just about everyone has heard the term male pattern baldness, many people do not realize that there is a form of alopecia that affects women as well. Female pattern baldness is a condition that millions of women have. It is characterized by widening of the part, general thinning of the hair, and a reduction in the overall volume of the hair. Many women are left confused by female pattern baldness. They may feel that they are alone, or may not understand the underlying causes of the alopecia that they are experiencing.
