Male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) is the most common cause of hair loss and thinning in men.
It affects millions and can begin surprisingly early — sometimes as young as the late teens or twenties. Whether you're noticing a receding hairline, thinning
at the crown, reduced density, or increased shedding, understanding the cause of hair loss is the first step to getting the right treatment.
Understanding Male Pattern Baldness
What Is Male Pattern Baldness?
Male pattern baldness occurs when genetically sensitive hair follicles react to the hormone DHT (dihydrotestosterone).
Over time, follicles shrink in a process called miniaturisation, producing finer, shorter hairs until growth slows significantly.
Typical patterns include:
A receding hairline
Thinning at the crown
A combination of both
This condition is progressive but can be slowed, stabilised, and improved with the correct treatment strategy.
Identifying Your Stage
with the Norwood Scale
The Norwood Scale is used to define the stages of male pattern baldness:
Stages 1–2: Early signs with mild recession
Stages 3–4: Noticeable thinning at the hairline or crown
Stages 5–7: Advanced thinning across the top and vertex
Understanding your stage helps us determine the best treatment combination for your goals and scalp condition.

Other Types of
Hair Loss in Men
Male hair loss is not always caused by androgenetic alopecia. Other conditions may present with sudden or patchy thinning, including:
Alopecia Areata
Autoimmune condition causing circular bald patches.
Traction Alopecia
Hair loss from constant pulling or tight styles.
Telogen Effluvium
A stress-related condition causing sudden, diffuse shedding.
Thyroid Disorders
Hormonal imbalance affecting the hair growth cycle.
Scalp Conditions
Psoriasis, dermatitis, or fungal issues may also contribute to hair loss.
Our hair loss specialists can help determine the exact type of hair loss you’re experiencing.
