Understanding Pattern Baldness

Pattern baldness encompasses both male and female patterned baldness. While they have similarities, they differ when it comes to how the hair loss begins. The medical name for pattern baldness is Androgenetic Alopecia and it is the most common cause of hair loss.

Male Pattern Baldness:

Around 50% of all men will experience male pattern baldness by the age of 50. Male pattern baldness is represented by the Norwood scale. The scale shows the most common hair loss progression for men. It begins at the hairline and will recede back to a widow’s peak or “M” shape. It will continue to thin and fall out on the crown of the head as well until there is only hair left on the sides of the head.

If hair loss is caught early and hair falls in the first three stages of the scale, there are many options that New England Associates® can offer you. HairStart® Laser Hair Therapy™ is a great place to start in the early stages because it has proven to make hair fuller and thicker.  For men that have lost more of their hair and are in the last three stages of the scale, non-surgical hair grafting may be used.

Female Pattern Baldness:

With female pattern baldness, the biggest factor of the loss is change in the androgens or male hormones. Aging and family history of female pattern baldness also contribute to the problem. Female hair loss differs from male hair loss in the way it thins. The stages of hair loss for female pattern baldness is represented by the Ludwig scale. Thinning begins at the top of the head with a widened center part. Front hair usually remains unaltered through the process until the center reaches total baldness.

If hair loss progression falls in the top four stages, New England Associates® offers HairStart® Laser Hair Therapy™ to slow hair loss and help hair appear fuller and thicker. If hair loss has moved into the later stages Hair Grafting for Women could be a great option. Hair Grafting is a non-medical procedure and women are usually better candidates for the procedure than men.
