In this video, Bernstein Medical's Dr. Robert Bernstein explains the difference between the two conditions, diffuse patterned hair loss (DPA) and diffuse unpatterned hair loss (DUPA) and the treatments available for men and women.
Diffuse patterned hair loss (DPA) is a variant of typical, common male pattern hair loss. With DPA, we see even thinning across the top of the scalp with no hair loss from the back and sides of the head. Because the hair on the sides and back is permanent, those with a DPA hair loss pattern are good candidates for a hair transplant, and they are good candidates for medical therapy as well.
Those with a DUPA hair loss pattern, on the other hand, lose hair not only from the top of the head but also from the back and sides.
