Hair loss is a very common matter among men down the ages and the most familiar type of hair loss among them is Male Pattern Baldness. Figures show, awareness regarding looks has been increasing among male persons and they are just not ready to accept their ‘aged looks' due to baldness. Many men are departing their baldness by undergoing hair transplantation surgery. There are many clinics in London that provide superior quality of hair transplantation surgery. Harley Street Hair Transplant Clinic is one of them. Its experienced team of surgeons, nurses and technicians specializes in male pattern baldness.

Causes of Male pattern baldness:

• Certain genes and male sex hormones are responsible for male pattern baldness. It usually follows a pattern of receding hair line and hair thinning on the crown of the head.
• Hair follicles are tiny holes from where hair grows in a group of 1, 2, 3 and 4 hairs. Often those follicles shrink over time, resulting in shorter and finer hair. Eventually the follicles don't give rise to new groups of hairs. However, sometimes the follicles remain alive leaving the possibility of growing new hairs.

Symptoms of Male pattern baldness:

The specific pattern of male baldness begins at the hairline. The hairline slowly recedes by moving backward forming an ‘M' shape. With time the hair becomes shorter and thinner, and creates a horseshoe shaped (‘U') pattern of hair, around the sides of the head.

Diagnosis of Male pattern baldness:

The appearance and the pattern of hair loss clearly denote the appearance of male pattern baldness.

 However, there are other reasons as well, for which men might lose hairs. A skin biopsy, blood test or any other medical procedure can be used to detect that. But if the reason behind the hair loss is male pattern baldness, hair transplantation is the best solution available.

Hair Transplantation for Male pattern baldness:

Two generally practiced procedures of hair transplantation are Follicular Unit Transplantation or FUT and Follicular Unit Extraction or FUE. Among these, the FUE procedure work better on male pattern baldness. Select a good clinic for the transplantation procedure and get back a new set of hair on your scalp within a day or two.

• The newly transplanted hairs will look perfectly dense and natural.
