Provillus Hair Loss Treatment for Men and Women

Female hair loss contra male hair loss

As men progress through their twenties, the hairline assumes a more “mature” look, with slight frontal-temporal recessions, which impart a concave appearance to the hairline on each side, with a lower peak in the middle. This “mature” hairline is not considered balding.

Hair loss in men could begin in the front (temporal) and the crown simultaneously, or sometimes, isolated crown loss (the bald spot) takes place first. There is a classification of the varying degrees of hair loss called the Norwood scale.

This scale has been used for decades by medical doctors estimating the degree of hair loss (mainly in males, but also in females). The drawings in the Norwood scale follow the drawings of bioenergetical lines (named “meredians” in old chinese textbooks about acupuncture) but Dr.Norwood did not know that when he made his drawings based upon hair loss observation over years.

Women can experience this type of hair loss pattern as well, but more often they experience a relative preservation of the frontal hairline , but have diffuse thinning on the top of the scalp (spreading out from the crown center around a point called DU 20 (Baihui in chinese). There is also a classification for female hair loss known as “The Ludwig Classification”, but it is not used much.

We are now talking about “normal” hair loss. There are many cases of hair loss in men and woman, including disease, nutritional defiency, hormonal imbalance (especially caused by thyroid gland in women). It is crucial that medical problems are ruled out, or otherwise any kind of treatment may not help your hair loss.
