Male Pattern Hair Loss Treatment
Male pattern hair loss doesn’t have to define you. Take control of your confidence with expert solutions from Pizarro Hair Restoration.
Male pattern baldness has been responsible for the vast majority of hair loss in men.
Male pattern hair loss, known scientifically as androgenetic alopecia, is a widespread issue impacting many men worldwide. In the United States alone, nearly two-thirds of men at age 35 suffer from receding or thinning hairline. By the time they reach 50, approximately 85% of them get affected by male pattern baldness in their lifetime.
At Pizarro Hair Restoration, we believe in the importance of early intervention to counter male pattern baldness. Our receding hairline restoration encompasses both proactive measures to save your natural hair and retroactive techniques to restore your fuller head of hair. Using cutting-edge tools and techniques, we’ll help address male pattern hair loss effectively.
Causes and Signs of Male Pattern Hair Loss
The main culprit behind male pattern baldness is the hormone known as dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is an androgen that influences vocal deepening, body fat distribution, muscle changes, and hair growth. Men sensitive to DHT produce less hair, resulting in thinning hair and even baldness.
While the causes of male androgenetic alopecia (MAA) are associated with hormonal changes, various other factors can also contribute to this condition. These include:
- Poor nutrition
- Certain Illnesses
- Reaction to Strong Medications
- Stress
- Aging
About 25% of men who suffer from MAA begin the painful process before they reach 21. They may gradually experience symptoms such as:
- Receding Hairline, Usually Starting at the Temples
- Thinning of the Hair on the Crown of the Head
- Formation of Bald Spots or Patches.
Diagnosing MAA centers around the pattern of hair loss, as well as underlying health problems, fungal scalp issues, or nutritional imbalances. Severe health conditions are usually suspected when hair loss coexists with symptoms such as a rash, redness, pain, scalp peeling, hair breakage, patchy hair loss, or an unusual hair thinning pattern.
7 Stages of Male Pattern Baldness
Male pattern hair loss presents itself in seven distinct stages, each manifesting differently in every individual. At Pizarro Hair Restoration, we use the Norwood scale to gauge the extent of your hair loss. This helps us create a personalized receding hairline treatment plan that works best for your condition:
- Stage 1 - This initial stage features a full head of hair with minor hairline recession or slight crown thinning. This hairline pattern is common during the teenage and early adulthood years before male pattern baldness becomes more prominent.
- Stage 2 - Characterized by a triangular recession near the temples, relatively mild but still evident hair loss can be observed during this stage.
- Stage 3 - In this phase, hairline recession becomes more pronounced, forming a distinct M or V shape. Hair around the temples becomes minimal or absent.
- Stage 4 - Stage 4 is marked by more substantial hair loss. Individuals at this stage may have sparse hair or even complete baldness on the crown or vertex of the scalp.
- Stage 5 - Progressing into stage 5, a dense band of hair separates the receding hairline from the thinning area, which continues to shrink over time. Hair loss is readily apparent at this stage.
- Stage 6 - During this stage, hair loss is notably severe. Sparse, thin, or absent hair characterizes most areas around the hairline, vertex, and crown.
- Stage 7 - Stage 7 represents the most severe hair loss. Very little to no hair remains on the scalp, leaving a significant bald area.
