Hair Loss and Baldness

Hair Loss and Baldness

Hair loss in men – male pattern baldness or androgenetic alopecia is a highly common phenomenon. Initial signs appear in almost every other man by the age of 50, and hair thinning affects a large portion of women by the age of 60.

The Norwood-Hamilton scale is used to classify the stages of male pattern baldness. As hair follicles gradually shrink due to genetic predispositions and DHT hormone sensitivity, the hair becomes finer until it stops growing completely. Understanding these stages can help in seeking timely, effective non-surgical cosmetic replacements like the Hair System®.
