Male Pattern Baldness (Androgenetic Alopecia)
Understanding Male Pattern Baldness: The Facts About Cause, Treatments, and Solutions
What is Androgenetic Alopecia?
Androgenetic alopecia, commonly known as male pattern baldness, is the most common type of hair loss in men. It is a gradual process influenced by genetics, hormones, leading to thinning hair, a receding hairline, and eventual hair loss.
What Causes Androgenetic Alopecia?
The main cause of male pattern baldness is a hormone called DHT (dihydrotestosterone), which is created from testosterone by an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase. This process happens naturally in the body, but in men with a genetic sensitivity to DHT, it can negatively impact hair follicles.
​
Here’s how it works:
​
-
5-alpha reductase converts testosterone into DHT.
-
DHT binds to hair follicles, causing them to shrink (miniaturization).
-
As follicles shrink, hair grows back thinner, weaker, and shorter over time.
-
Eventually, the follicles become so small that they stop producing visible hair altogether.
-
This results in the typical receding hairline, thinning crown, and eventual balding seen in male pattern baldness.
Signs & Progression of Androgenetic Alopecia
-
Stage 1: No noticeable hair loss, but hair may start to lose thickness
​
-
Stage 2: A slight recession at the temples
​
-
Stage 3: A visible receding hairline, especially around the temples and crown
​
-
Stage 4: Significant thinning at the crown and front of the scalp
​
-
Stage 5+: Advanced hair loss, often leaving only hair around the back and sides of the head
Can Androgenetic Alopecia Be Treated?
-
Yes! While male pattern baldness is a natural process, treatments can strengthen existing hair and promote new hair growth. At Men’s Den, Inc., we offer advanced, non-surgical solutions to help men maintain denser, fuller, and healthier hair.
