Let's explore the key differences in hair loss between men and women and how targeted treatments can help.

Causes of Hair Loss in Men

• Genetics: The primary factor, often inherited from the family.
• Male Pattern Baldness (Androgenetic Alopecia):
  • Driven by genetics and the male hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
  • DHT shrinks hair follicles, leading to thinner, shorter hairs and eventually no hair growth.
  • Typically results in a receding hairline and thinning at the crown, forming an 'M' shape.
    Understanding these causes is key to finding the right solution.

Causes of Hair Loss in Women

• Diffuse Hair Loss:
  • Occurs across the entire scalp rather than in a specific pattern.
  • The hairline usually stays intact, but the part may widen over time.
• Hormonal Triggers:
  • Pregnancy, menopause, or thyroid imbalances can lead to hair loss.
• Stress-Related Hair Loss:
  • Physical or emotional stress can cause telogen effluvium, where many hairs shed simultaneously.
    Proper diagnosis is essential to developing an effective treatment plan.

Tailored Hair Loss Treatments

Since male or female pattern baldness presents differently, treatment approaches must be tailored to the individual. A one-size-fits-all solution simply doesn’t work. At Renu, we focus on personalized care to address the root cause of your hair loss.

We offer innovative treatments that support hair restoration for both men and women:

• AquaFirme: This treatment uses a specialized system to deeply cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate the scalp. By creating a healthy foundation, AquaFirme prepares the scalp to better receive and respond to subsequent hair restoration therapies. It’s an excellent first step for anyone looking to improve their scalp health.
• DE|RIVE: This plant-based serum is applied to the scalp to nourish hair follicles and promote fuller, healthier-looking hair. It works by delivering targeted nutrients that support the hair growth cycle, making it a powerful, non-invasive option for both men and women.

Finding the right hair loss treatment near me starts with a professional consultation to determine which solution is best suited for your specific needs.
