Male Pattern Baldness
Androgenic Alopecia
Hair Loss in Men
Male pattern baldness is also known by androgenetic alopecia, which is the commonest cause behind hair loss in males.
While some take it casually, others can be seen worried about it, thus getting a professional help in terms of restoring their lost glory, the hair.
It's caused by genes you get from your parents.
These genes may affect how sensitive your hair follicles are, to a hormone called DHT, which makes them shrink.
As the hairs gets smaller, the hair that grows back tends to be finer, thinner, and shorter. This process is called miniaturization of hair follicle.
According to Norwood-Hamilton Grade for Baldness, the stages of male pattern baldness vary from Grade 1 to 7, depending upon the occurrence of it in individuals.
The grading of hair loss helps to decide the treatment plans and outcome.
Since male pattern baldness is a genetic condition, there are high chances of occurence if family members like mother or father or anyone from the maternal or paternal side is bald.
Although it entirely depends on the gene expression that carry the potential of making an individual turn bald.
Yes, baldness can occur despite not having any history of it in your family.
The prime cause behind it can be the hormonal change and its actions.
Furthermore, sometimes the genes responsible for hair loss are inactive state in parents that turns expressive in your body, resulting in baldness.

Generally, both the medicines and therapies are considered to be effective for showing positive results in male patterned baldness. Though, it entirely depends upon the regularity of treatment by the patient.
"Earlier you start treatment, more are the chances of getting hair back by medical treatment and therapies."
Once hairs are lost, hair transplant treatment is considered as the best option, offering a good result in restoring the hair growth that’s thick and healthy in nature.
Usually, it takes approximately 4-6 months’ post treatment to see a visible change.
Treatment needs to be continued for long duration as advised by Dr. Pratik Sheth for getting improving results.
Hair transplant can be considered for bald areas where hairs have become very fine and small or the area has become totally bald.
Initially you can consider taking medicines and therapy treatment for stabilising your hair growth and later, can opt for FUE hair transplant in Rajkot at Dr. Pratik Sheth's Vivid Skin Care & Cosmetology Centre.
