Overview

Male pattern baldness is the condition where men experience a loss of hair on their head in patches. These bald patches may have a varying pattern depending upon person to person. This condition is mostly age associated and is more evident in the middle-aged men.The best and permanent treatment for this condition is through laser therapy or hair transplant procedures.

Treatment Procedures

There are a few options for treatment of male pattern baldness like medications and low-level laser therapy but none of these are permanent solutions.The ultimate treatment for baldness is hair transplantation where, the hair follicles from another part of your body like legs, hands or face are taken and surgically placed in the scalp. You might be given a mild sedative and local anaesthesia for a painless and comfortable experience. The scalp will be properly washed and treated with anti-bacterial agents.
The procedure of hair transplant can be carried out in two ways. One, where minimal invasion is kept in mind and a small section of the scalp with hair is taken from the back of your head and placed on the bald patch. In this procedure the entire patch is covered at once but it is more efficient in smaller and single patches.The other option which is also the most popular is the follicular transplant, where 3-4 strands of hair are taken from any compatible part of your body and individually placed in the bald areas. This procedure might be done in one long single sitting or in multiple sittings according to the requirement.
