Alopecia (Male Pattern Hair Loss)Male pattern
hair loss is the most common type of hair loss, representing
close to 95% of all cases. Mild to moderate male pattern
hair loss affects about half of men by age 50. This type
of hair loss results in a receding hairline and/or slow
balding at the crown. It is due to heredity, from either
the mother's or father's side of the family, and is dependent
on hormones. The condition can start as early as one's
teens or 20s. Although there is no cure, treatment programs
are available through your family doctor, dermatologist,
or other healthcare professional.
