| Regardless
of whether hair is just starting to fall out or it is
has been gone for a while; hair loss can take a negative
toll on a person’s lifestyle and confidence. Most
people do not notice thinning of hair until 50% or greater
loss occurs in any one area.
This may vary with different hair characteristics.
About 95 percent of all cases of hair loss in men are
the result of Androgenetic Alopecia (also known as Male
Pattern Hair Loss.)
What is "Male Pattern Hair Loss"?
Male Pattern Hair Loss is the most common type of hair
loss in men. With male pattern hair loss, your hair
begins to thin at the temples and at the crown. As time
goes on, the hair at the temples recedes further, leaving
a central spur of hair at the front, and an increasing
bald spot at the crown. Eventually the areas of hair
loss at the front and crown meet, and the top of the
head becomes increasingly bald. Eventually all that
remains is a border of hair around the side and back
of the head.
