Hair Loss in Men
What is Male Pattern Hair Loss?
Male pattern hair loss is the most common type of hair loss in men. It usually starts with thinning at the temples or crown (top of the head) and can lead to partial or complete baldness over time. It’s also known as androgenetic alopecia.
What Causes It?
The main cause is a combination of:
- Genetics (family history)
- Hormones—especially DHT (dihydrotestosterone), which shrinks hair follicles over time
- Age—hair naturally becomes thinner as men get older
Grades of Hair Loss (Norwood Scale):
Hair loss progresses in stages, often classified using the Norwood Scale:
- Grade 1–2: Minimal thinning or slight recession at temples
- Grade 3–4: Noticeable hair loss at crown and hairline
- Grade 5–7: Advanced hair loss with only a rim of hair around the sides and back
Treatment Options:
There are several effective treatments to slow down hair loss or even regrow hair:
- Medications like Minoxidil (topical) or Finasteride (oral)
- PRP therapy (Platelet-Rich Plasma) to stimulate hair growth
- Laser therapy to improve hair density
- Hair transplant surgery (FUE or FUT) for long-term restoration
- Advanced regenerative hair growth treatments like Exosomes, SVF, stem cell based treatments which are now available at AuraDermé
- Scalp care and lifestyle changes to maintain hair health
