Hair loss is a concern that affects both men and women, often starting from the age of 30.
Whether it is diffuse loss, thinning hair, a decrease in density, or the onset of baldness, the question often arises:

“Why am I losing my hair… and what solutions really exist?”

At ANAGEN, we support patients of all ages with medical solutions tailored to the stage of hair loss: prevention, stimulation, restoration, or hair transplant.

Here is a clear guide to understanding the causes of hair loss by age and the most effective treatments.

At 30: early or hereditary hair loss

From the age of 30, hair loss is often linked to:

• a genetic predisposition (androgenetic),

• stress,

• hormonal variations,

• changes in lifestyle rhythms,

• deficiencies,

• periods of fatigue or lack of sleep.

Common signs at 30

• Hairlines starting to recede

• Decreased density

• Thinner, more brittle hair

• Diffuse shedding after stress or seasonal changes

Recommended ANAGEN solutions (prevention & strengthening)

• Hair PRP → stimulates follicles and slows shedding

• Hair mesotherapy → nourishes and strengthens the hair fiber

• Longevity protocols (IV Drips Hair & Skin) → micronutritional boost

• Personalised preventive treatments

👉 The goal at this age: to preserve density and maintain hair strength.

At 40: loss of density and thinned hair

From the age of 40, hair loss often becomes more pronounced, especially in men, but also in women (perimenopause, chronic stress, heavier mental loads).

Common signs at 40

• Visible loss of density

• More regular shedding than at 30

• Receding hairline

• Overall volume decreased

ANAGEN solutions (stimulation + correction)

• Enhanced PRP treatment → activates follicles + improves vascularisation

• Mesotherapy → maintenance treatment to stop thinning

• Hair diagnosis + personalised plan

• Hair transplant (FUE or DHI) if loss is stabilised or hereditary

👉 At 40, the key is active stimulation + partial restoration if needed.

At 50: hormonal loss, menopause, or established baldness

At 50, hormonal changes (in women) and more advanced hereditary baldness (in men) become major causes.

Common signs at 50

• Sparse areas become evident

• Established baldness on the vertex or hairline

• Scalp becomes more visible

• Persistent shedding despite care

✔️ ANAGEN solutions (restoration + complementary care)

• FUE Sapphire or DHI hair transplant → best solution for long-term restoration

• Post-transplant PRP → accelerates regrowth

• Mesotherapy → maintenance of the non-transplanted area

• IV Drips dedicated to skin and hair

At 50, the transplant often becomes the most effective solution to regain density and confidence.

Man or woman: different mechanisms

Hair loss in men

• Primarily genetic

• Can start as early as 20–25 years

• Progresses in “M,” “U,” or “O” shapes

Hair loss in women

• More diffuse

• Significant hormonal variability

• Rarely total baldness

• Medical responses are often very effective

At ANAGEN, protocols are differentiated according to sex, age, density, and type of hair loss.

Errors to avoid at any age

❌ Waiting for it to “pass”
→ Hair loss almost never reverses on its own.

❌ Buying ineffective “anti-hair loss” shampoos
→ No cosmetic stimulates the follicle deeply.

❌ Turning to low-cost solutions abroad
→ Risks of over-extraction, scarring, density impossible to recover.

❌ Thinking that a transplant is sufficient without maintenance
→ PRP + mesotherapy optimise results and protect existing hair.

The ANAGEN protocol: a tailored support

Each patient benefits from a comprehensive hair diagnosis:

• Density analysis

• Condition of the scalp

• Medical history and habits

• Aesthetic goals

• PRP / Mesotherapy / Transplant recommendation

This assessment allows for the construction of a personalised plan, tailored to your age, type of hair loss, and expectations.
