Hair loss patterns can vary greatly and differ between each individual man.

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. |

In stages 3-5 of this chart, men notice a more significant decline in hair above the temples as well as receding from the forehead. Hair loss is also starting to become signicant on the crown. |
|
|
 |
In levels 6 & 7, hair loss may become more noticeable on the crown, or patients may have only significant loss from above the temples and on top of the scalp. |
|
|
 |
By stages 8 thru 10, hair loss is approaching significant levels, with most of it disappearing on the top of the scalp and crown. By these stages, suitable donor areas are decreasing rapidly. |
|
|
 |
Stage 11, top, hair loss is major but there still is donor area available to use for hair transplants.
By the final and worst stage of hair loss, (and not all men reach this stage), hair loss is severe and a suitable donor area is almost nil. |
