How To Treat Male Pattern Baldness?
Androgenic alopecia or male pattern hair loss is one of the most common types of hair loss in men. Receding hairline, thinning hair or excessive hair loss are a few of the early signs of balding. This can not only affect how one looks but also how one feels. Loss of hair is known to trigger self-esteem and emotional problems, especially among young men.
Stages of Male Pattern Baldness
-
Stage 1 & 2 :
During the initial stage, the hair loss or change in hairline is barely noticeable. However, the minimal thinning hair progresses and leads to areceding hairline. It can begin to form an ‘M’ ‘U’ ‘V’ like shape in the temples area.
-
Stage 3 :
The forehead becomes wider and the temple area becomes more visible. Also, the hair at the top of the scalp starts to become visibly thinner. At this stage, hair loss can become difficult to conceal.
-
Stage 4 :
Hair thinning causes bald spots in the crown area or in the front of your head. Hair loss at this stage may become more difficult to treat. Hair loss may not just be limited to the frontal area but you may also notice hair loss at the back of your head.
As each stage progresses, hair loss becomes more evident and difficult to treat. In the case of hair loss treatment, the clock is always ticking fast. While male pattern baldness is common and could be inevitable, with the right hair treatment it can be managed. To get the best result, it is recommended to begin the hair treatment within the first three stages.
