What is male pattern hair loss?

Male pattern hair loss/baldness, medically termed androgenetic alopecia, is the most common cause of scalp hair loss affecting men or people assigned male at birth. It features irreversible and gradual hair thinning, receding hairline, and balding on top of the head.

How to recognize male pattern hair loss?

Hamilton-Norwood scale is used to classify male pattern hair loss into 7 different stages with variable symptoms:

Stage 1: Minimal to no hair loss/recession of hairline

Stage 2: Little hair loss on the skin of the temples- between ears and forehead

Stage 3: A hairline recession around the temples, creating an “M” or “U” shaped hairline

Stage 4: A deeper recession of the hairline and circular-shaped hair loss at the crown-top of the head

Stage 5: Receding hairline joins with bald spots on the crown

Stage 6: Thinner hair or hair loss between the temples and crown

Stage 7: A thin band of hair only remains intact around the sides of the head, giving a horseshoe-shaped pattern of hair.

Who is likely to suffer from male pattern hair loss?

Hair loss is mainly the result of a disrupted natural hair growth cycle. Normally, the growth phase of the hair growth cycle is 3-6 years before new hair replaces old hair. In the case of male pattern baldness, the growth phase is shorter, of a few weeks or months, before hair sheds.

Men who are more likely to have pattern hair loss include:

• Those who are aged above 21 years or an older adult
• Those who have a family history of pattern hair loss
• Those who have shrinking hair follicles due to low levels of andro-gens/ D-H-T hormone.

How to get male pattern hair loss treated?

At DMC Trichology, male pattern baldness treatment doctor in Delhi incorporates any one or more of the following treatment options in our created male pattern hair loss treatment plan:

• Topical or oral medications- Recommend FDA-cleared hair growth-promoting and hair-strengthening medications like topical mino-xidil and oral fina-steride (type 2 al-pha-red-uctase inhib-itor). To wash scalp and hair, hair loss doctors may suggest using anti-dandruff shampoo. The effects of medicine are only seen after several months of continued use.
• Low-level light or laser therapy- Laser combs or red-light therapy to delay balding of the scalp.
• P-R-P / GFC therapy- Our doctors recommend this non-surgical therapy as a stand-alone treatment for hair loss or as a combination treatment with hair transplantation to improve and maintain the results. The procedure involves drawing out of the patient’s blood and processing it in a centrifuge machine to separate blood components followed by isolation and administration of platelet-enriched plasma into the affected areas of the scalp. Multiple sessions every month are required to get the desired results. The P-R-P comprises natural growth factors and essential proteins that improve blood supply to the roots and encourage new hair growth.
• Scalp micro pigmentation- For those who are satisfied with a shaven or trimmed scalp look, we suggest tattooing semi-permanent ink using microneedles onto the balding areas.
• Hair transplantation- This is the best natural, permanent approach to treat male pattern hair loss. The procedure involves moving the healthy, thick hair from the side or back of the scalp to the balding areas of the scalp. We have hair transplant surgeons who are experts in all kinds of hair transplants- Follicular Unit Strip Surgery, Follicular Unit Extraction, and Golden Touch Hair Transplant. They even offer artificial fiber implantation.
