Frequently Asked Questions

I've always heard that my mother's father or grandfather is to blame for my hair loss. Is this true?

Advecia FAQ's - Hair Loss Support
NO. This is a common myth. It started in 1916 as a result of a published paper by Dorothy Osborne, stating that pattern baldness was inherited by one side of the family, namely your mother's side. This myth is ongoing because it has been propagated in dermatologic literature for many years. So who ultimately contributed to your hair loss? The contribution for your disorder was most likely defined by both of your parents. However, the genetic aspect of hair loss is much more complicated.
