Hair Loss Treatment Chart
In order to classify the severity of hair loss, doctors created a series of charts categorizing various stages of hair loss. The charts are very useful when describing your hair loss to someone or as a yard stick to measure your own hair loss progression or regrowth. The charts are only relevant to Male and Female Pattern hair loss since the hair loss occurs in a predictable pattern.
Over the past 2 years a number of independent agents have visited some of the most advertised and well-known London hair centres and reported back to us informing us of the treatments that were offered and the prices that were quoted. Here we compare costs and treatment combinations for your reference. The most recent consultation was on 21st May 2008 and the information is shown below. Each agent was male and experiencing the early stages of male pattern hair loss.
This “mature” hairline is not considered balding; the Norwood III is considered the first evidence of balding in androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness). In studying the Norwood charts, we see that usually the most advanced balding is known as a class VII, and that there are also Type “A” variants in which the forelock in the middle tends to recede along with the fronto-temporal areas, and in which there is be less overt crown loss than in the regular III, IV, and V patterns.
The first two stages of hair loss represented at left. Most men will become affected by either stage in their lifetime. In the top image, the hairline starts to recede and a “widow’s peak” above the temples is evident. In the second image, the hairline starts to recede farther back from the front and begins to “catch up” with the widow’s peak. Not evident in this picture, but to some of our clients, is that the hair on the back of the head is becoming thinner as the hair follicles become weaker and fall out.
