Pattern hair loss, also called androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is considered the most common cause of hair loss in both males and females affecting approximately 85% of males and 50% of females over 50 years of age.
- Detailed Description
RF (Radiofrequency) based devices have also been shown to be successful in promoting hair growth, thought to occur through the induction of growth factors in the papillary dermis.
