Displaying items by tag: Male Pattern Baldness

Male-pattern baldness (Androgenetic alopecia) will affect almost 70% of males. It causes hair follicles to shrink over a period of your life, ultimately shedding those hairs and never growing back. This hair loss is due mostly to your genetics and hormonal reasoning, but hair loss can be caused by stress, poor diet, and multiple other health factors. 

Most likely, if your extended family is bald or has noticeably thinning hair, then male-pattern baldness runs in your family and you’re at risk. Over time, your hair growth cycle essentially begins to lessen and die, shrinking the follicles and producing finer and finer hair until it doesn’t produce hair at all. 

The severity of male-pattern baldness is also hereditary. However, there’s a scale called the Norwood Scale that shows you what type of male-pattern baldness you’re experiencing. Your hair loss can begin in the front toward your forehead or on the crown of your head. Many people think that only the crown balding is male-pattern baldness, but a receding hairline could also be male-pattern baldness. 

Because male-pattern baldness is hereditary, it’s difficult to combat. But there are preventative treatments. 

At a basic level, you can change your hairstyle to cover any baldness or scalp-showing. This is probably the easiest solution. If that doesn’t work, you can try biotin pills that you get over-the-counter and any pharmacy. You can also try minoxidil (Rogaine), which is a topical treatment that you apply to your scalp. It stimulates the follicles and encourages hair growth. Finally, concerning medicines you can take, there’s finasteride. Finasteride is an oral pill that is prescribed by a doctor that helps hair growth by blocking hormones that cause hair loss. There are multiple other treatments for male-pattern baldness such as wigs or hairpieces, transplant surgery, or ultimately just shaving your head. 

At Apollo Hair Replacement of Dallas/Fort Worth, we specialize in all of these treatments and counseling. We offer free consultations to diagnose the type of hair loss you might be experiencing and offering solutions that fit your needs and budget.

About Male Pattern Baldness

Androgenetic alopecia or common male pattern baldness (MPB) accounts for more than 95% of hair loss in men.
Per the American Hairloss Association: By the age of thirty-five two-thirds of American men will experience some degree of appreciable hair loss, and by the age of fifty approximately 85% of men have significantly thinning hair. Approximately twenty five percent of men who suffer with male pattern baldness begin the painful process before they reach the age of twenty-one.

When seeking treatment for your hair loss, it is important to understand just how far your hair loss has progressed. There will be times when you will have to relay this information via telephone or the internet to professionals that you may be trying to receive information from.

Note: There are many variants in pattern hair loss; these have been cited as the most typical.
