Male pattern baldness affects roughly 40 million men in the United States alone.
The most common form of baldness in men is a genetic progressive hair-thinning condition called androgenic alopecia or “male pattern baldness.” Hair is lost in a well-defined pattern, beginning at both temples. Over time, the hairline recedes to form a characteristic “M” shape. Hair also thins at the crown of the head. Often a rim of hair around the sides and rear of the head remains intact and healthy.
The trigger for this type of baldness is DHT, a powerful sex hormone, body, and facial hair growth promoter that can adversely affect the prostate as well as the hair located on the head. The mechanism by which DHT accomplishes this is not yet understood. In genetically prone scalps, DHT initiates a process where the width of the hair shaft is progressively decreased until scalp hair resembles peach fuzz or else becomes non-existent.
