Understanding androgenetic alopecia causes, patterns and pathways to lasting restoration.
Androgenetic Alopecia
Understanding
Male Pattern Hair Loss
The role of androgens in male pattern hair loss has been considered since ancient times. Testosterone and Di-hydro-testosterone (DHT) have been implicated as the most important hormonal factors for male pattern hair loss.
Most of the patients we encounter for hair transplant are typical cases of androgenetic alopecia. Male pattern hair loss has a strong genetic component and is easily elicited from the patient's family history.
Therefore, we evaluate the complete family history of the patient before deciding any kind of treatment plan, ensuring the most accurate and personalised approach to restoration.

Root Factors
Key Causes of Male Hair Loss
Testosterone and Di-hydro-testosterone (DHT) are the most important hormonal factors driving male pattern hair loss, shrinking follicles over time.
Male pattern hair loss has a strong genetic component, easily traced through the patient's family history on both maternal and paternal sides.
Genetically susceptible follicles become sensitive to DHT, leading to progressive miniaturisation of hair shafts and eventual hair loss.
As men age, hormonal fluctuations accelerate follicular miniaturisation, causing the hairline to recede and the crown to thin progressively.
Classification
The Norwood Scale
We use the Norwood-Hamilton classification to map the extent of hair loss and plan the most effective treatment strategy for each patient.
Minimal recession
Slight temples recession
Deep temporal recession
Crown thinning begins
Crown & front merge
Sparse bridge remains
Only sides remain
Stage I (minimal) → Stage VII (advanced) · Identified during your initial consultation
Our Approach
Treatment Pathway
A thorough evaluation including family history, scalp examination, and trichoscopy to determine the pattern, grade, and progression of hair loss.
Clinically proven medications such as Minoxidil and Finasteride are prescribed to slow further loss and stabilise the scalp environment.
Platelet-Rich Plasma injections stimulate dormant follicles, improve blood supply to the scalp, and enhance overall hair density non-surgically.
For permanent restoration, our surgeons perform FUE or FUT transplantation, harvesting donor grafts and placing them with precision in thinning zones.
