Corners

What are curves? Corners is a characteristic type of alopecia, involving localised hair loss in the temporal region. It is one of the first symptoms of androgenetic alopeciaa problem that many men struggle with. Studies show that, on average, one in three men between the ages of 20 and 40 notices in themselves excessive hair loss and receding forehead line.

Causes of hair curves

Formation of hair curves can be influenced by a number of factors. Among the most common are:

• genetic predisposition - sensitivity of hair follicles to the hormone DHT (dihydrotestosterone)
• poorly balanced diet, deficient in vitamins and minerals
• anaemia (anaemia), which weakens the hair follicles
• autoimmune diseases (e.g. alopecia areata)
• systemic diseases, including psoriasis
• chronic stress and lack of adequate regeneration.

Symptoms and development of alopecia

Initially, the hair curves are small patches of hair near the temples, which deepen over time and may merge to form a distinctive shape receding hairline. In advanced cases, baldness extends to the top of the head, leading to hair loss in a characteristic round shape.

Diagnostics

If you notice an increased hair loss A consultation with a dermatologist or trichologist is advisable. The specialist may prescribe:

• examination of the scalp to exclude dermatological diseases (e.g. ringworm, seborrhoeic dermatitis)
• a blood count to check for the presence of anaemia
• a TSH level test to assess thyroid function
• other laboratory tests if systemic diseases are suspected.

Treatment and methods to combat hairline bends

Effective therapy depends on the cause of the problem. The treatments used to treat hair curves include:

• specialised preparations (e.g. with minoxidil), which stimulate hair growth
• scalp massagesimproving circulation and nutrition of the hair follicle
• needle mesotherapywhich involves injecting the scalp with substances that inhibit hair loss and promote hair regrowth (hyaluronic acid, peptides, vitamins)
• laser therapy - modern technologies, such as Fotona Hair Restoration, which improve micro-circulation and can inhibit the balding process and even stimulate hair regrowth.

Prevention

While it is not always possible to completely prevent the formation of hair curves, there are measures that support hair health:

• a diet rich in protein, B vitamins, zinc, iron and omega-3 fatty acids
• avoiding excessive stress and ensuring adequate regeneration
• proper scalp care
• regular check-ups for suspected systemic diseases.

Circular hair loss is one of the first symptoms of alopecia, which most often affects men, although it can also occur in women. Early diagnosis and the implementation of appropriate treatments can significantly slow or stop the balding process and, in many cases, improve hair density.
