Male Pattern Baldness

The medical term for inherited baldness is "androgenetic alopecia." In men, it is called "male pattern baldness" and usually progresses to the familiar horseshoe-shaped fringe of hair. Genetics is the key determining factor in male pattern baldness, but hair loss options are available no matter the cause. See our patient gallery for before and after pictures of various stages of male pattern baldness. The Norwood hair loss classification guide will give you a better idea of your male pattern baldness and which hair loss treatments are best for you.
