Progressive Hair Loss

 
  •  Androgenetic 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.
