Decoding Genetic Hair Loss: Understanding Causes and Stages

  • Jan 2, 2024
  • 2 min read

Genetic hair loss, often referred to as hereditary alopecia, is a common concern affecting both men and women. In this exploration, we'll delve into the intricate factors behind hair loss, its various stages, and how Carisma Aesthetic's range of services may play a role in addressing this genetic predisposition.



What Causes Hair Loss?

Genetic hair loss is primarily linked to a hereditary sensitivity to a hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT). This hormone can shrink hair follicles, leading to finer and shorter hair strands. While genetic factors play a significant role, other elements such as age, hormonal changes, and overall health can contribute to the progression of hair loss.


Hair Loss Stages

Understanding the stages of genetic hair loss is crucial for implementing effective interventions. The Norwood Scale is commonly used to classify male pattern baldness, while the Ludwig Scale is employed for female pattern baldness. These scales help assess the severity of hair loss and guide personalized treatment approaches.


Exploring Aesthetic Solutions

While genetic factors may contribute to hair loss, Carisma Aesthetic offers a range of aesthetic solutions that can complement traditional approaches. PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy, for instance, harnesses the body's natural healing properties to stimulate hair follicles and promote hair growth. Additionally, mesotherapy, with its targeted injections of vitamins and minerals, may provide nourishment to the scalp, supporting healthier hair.


Navigating Your Aesthetic Journey

At Carisma Aesthetic, we understand the sensitivity surrounding genetic hair loss. Our expert practitioners are here to guide you through a personalized consultation, discussing potential aesthetic interventions that align with your unique needs. While we specialize in a variety of services, from Botox to dermal fillers, our goal is to empower you in making informed decisions regarding your aesthetic journey.

your bible to sustainable

weight loss management

Weight loss is often treated as a test of discipline, but discipline rarely holds under stress, busy schedules, or decision fatigue. The Carisma Slimming Guide was created to address what happens after people try, when rigid rules stop working. It presents weight loss management as a structured meal plan system shaped by appetite physiology, behaviour, and real life.

The guide covers when to eat, what to eat, how much to eat, and in which order: a practical framework you can return to on busy or low-energy days. Built from clinical experience at our slimming clinic in Malta, it helps you lose weight with consistency, not perfection.
