What it is
Male pattern hair loss, medically known as androgenetic alopecia, is a common hereditary form of progressive hair loss in men. It typically affects the temples, frontal hairline, top of the scalp or crown.
Over time, affected follicles can gradually produce finer and shorter hairs, making the scalp increasingly visible.
02
How can male pattern hair loss appear?
The pattern can develop differently from person to person, although frontal recession and crown thinning are common presentations.
Gradual movement of the frontal hairline backwards over time.
Reduced density may gradually develop across the vertex or crown.
Hair loss around both temple corners can create a characteristic M-shaped pattern.
Hair immediately behind the frontal hairline may become progressively finer.
Density can reduce across the upper scalp as pattern hair loss advances.
Separate thinning areas may gradually expand or become more noticeable over time.
WHO MAY NEED FURTHER ASSESSMENT
Some patterns may suggest a cause other than typical male pattern hair loss and deserve closer evaluation.
Sudden or very rapid hair shedding
Distinct round or patchy areas of hair loss
Significant itching, pain, scaling or scalp inflammation
Hair loss following a major illness, medication or other recent change
Hair loss associated with scarring or smooth areas where follicles appear absent
03
What to expect
Hair & scalp assessment
Your hairline, temples, crown, density and scalp are evaluated alongside your hair-loss history.
Diagnosis & treatment planning
When male pattern hair loss is confirmed, suitable medical or supportive treatment options are considered according to the individual. Medical options exist that can reduce further loss and help some men regrow some hair.
Progress monitoring
Hair-loss treatment works gradually, so clinical photography or scalp analysis can be used over time to review response and adjust the plan when necessary.

Physician note
Male pattern hair loss is progressive, so early assessment can be valuable when the goal is to preserve existing hair.
Treatment is not simply about creating new growth. A major part of management is understanding the stage of loss, protecting suitable existing follicles and planning for how the pattern may change over time.

Questions
It is a hereditary form of hair loss also known as androgenetic alopecia, commonly affecting the hairline, temples and crown.
A gradually receding hairline or a thinning/bald area on the top or crown of the scalp can be early signs.
Genetic susceptibility and androgen-related factors play an important role in androgenetic alopecia.
Yes. Treatment options can reduce further hair loss, and some men experience regrowth, although response varies.
Minoxidil and finasteride are established treatments used for male pattern hair loss, but suitability and possible side effects should be discussed with a clinician.
Not necessarily. Benefits from commonly used treatments generally depend on continued treatment, and hair loss can progress again after treatment is stopped.
Hair treatment takes time. For example, NHS guidance notes that improvement from finasteride for hair loss may take around three to six months. Individual timelines vary.
Not everyone with male pattern hair loss needs transplantation. Surgical restoration is considered separately based on the pattern, donor hair, degree of loss and individual goals.
Start with a dermatologist-led evaluation because treatment depends on the diagnosis, pattern and extent of hair loss.
