Early treatment is important for male pattern baldness.
AGA (androgenetic alopecia) is an abbreviation for male pattern baldness. After puberty, hair begins to thin on one or both sides of the hairline or top of the head. It is generally believed that the main causes are genetics and the influence of male hormones. AGA is progressive, and if left untreated, the number of hairs will continue to decrease and gradually thin. For this reason, it is important to treat AGA early.
AGA genetic testing
A genetic test will tell you whether your age-related alopecia is progressing or whether androgenic alopecia drugs are effective.
Human genes contain individual DNA information inherited from parents. Since it does not change throughout life, it is a test that only needs to be taken once regardless of age. If you are concerned about thinning hair or are worried about the possibility of thinning hair in the future, we recommend that you take a genetic test. AGA is largely due to genetic factors, and if parents have genes that are prone to thinning hair in the family, there is a high percentage of their children (especially men) who will develop the disease. By examining genes, it is possible to predict the possibility of developing AGA. Genes cannot be changed throughout life, but knowing your constitution is important for prevention and early measures. Thinning hair does not necessarily occur, and environmental factors (stress, diet, lifestyle, etc.) also play a large role, so AGA can be prevented or its progression can be delayed by improving lifestyle habits and taking appropriate measures.
Contents of genetic testing
Among the genes, there is a gene called AR gene that is related to hair loss. The role of the AR gene is to receive male hormones that enter the body through capillaries. It is said that the lower the number of repeats in the base sequence of the AR gene (CAG repeats/GGC repeats), the higher the risk of developing AGA (androgenetic alopecia).
The AGA genetic test is a test that only needs to be taken once for genetic determination.
AGA is progressive, so it is important to know the symptoms early.Even if your AGA is not progressing much at the moment, we recommend that you get an early test as this will allow you to determine the future progress of hair loss.
