HAIR LOSS IN MEN

The Norwood Scale:
The 7 stages of Androgenetic Alopecia in Men

There are different types of alopecia. The most common, hereditary androgenetic alopecia, causes a decrease in hair volume and progressive, permanent hair loss. Other types of alopecia can be caused by skin problems or medical treatments like chemotherapy, and these are often localized in certain areas. Baldness is caused by many factors and even when stress, tobacco use or nutritional deficiencies are involved, heredity is an overriding factor.

More than 50% of men over the age of 50 are affected, many of whom find this change traumatic. DHI has perfected permanent solutions to help these men — solutions that go beyond medication.

1. The first stage of male pattern
baldness is a receding of the
hairline, beginning at the temples.

2. The second stage is known as type II baldness.
During this stage, the hairline continues to recede
and may be accompanied by thinning
of the frontal area.

2a. The second stage is known as type II baldness.
During this stage, the hairline continues to recede
and may be accompanied by thinning
of the frontal area.

3. This pattern becomes more pronounced in
the third stage: the hairline at the temples
recedes further, and the frontal hairline
may also recede.

3a. This pattern becomes more pronounced in
the third stage: the hairline at the temples
recedes further, and the frontal hairline
may also recede.

3 Vertex. This pattern becomes more pronounced in
the third stage: the hairline at the temples
recedes further, and the frontal hairline
may also recede.

4. The deepening of the hairline at the temples
combines with thinning at the crown
and front of the head.

4a. The deepening of the hairline at the temples
combines with thinning at the crown
and front of the head.

5. These processes continue at stage V
with a tendency for the two balding areas
at the front and back of the head
to enlarge and run together.

5a. These processes continue at stage V
with a tendency for the two balding areas
at the front and back of the head
to enlarge and run together.

6. At stage six, the band of hair at
the back of the head becomes narrower
as more hair is lost from the crown.

7. The final stage of alopecia in men is
“Hippocratic” baldness, where only a
low wreath of hair around the sides and
back of the head remains.

HAIR LOSS IN WOMEN

The Ludwig Scale:
The 3 Stages of Androgenetic Baldness in Women

In general, female pattern baldness almost never leads to a loss of all hair. Often related to a hormonal imbalance, hair loss affects 1 in every 5 women over the age of 50. In contrast to baldness in men, it never involves the whole head and tends to cause thinning rather that generalised hair loss. This is diffuse alopecia: hair density decreases and its mass thins out, causing very real distress to every woman affected.

Among the different types of alopecia, the androgenetic type is most common and is usually due to stress, medical treatments, or vitamin deficiencies. “Traction” alopecia is caused by repeated handling and by wearing braids or hair extensions too often. DHI offers a variety of solutions, tailored to each patient’s needs, for women who feel that their femininity is being undermined by thinning hair and hair loss. This hair replacement method is done by injecting hairs into the affected areas and is described in detail in the section: DHI Method.

1-1 to 1-2 to 1-3. It begins with diffuse alopecia, a mild thinning of the hair, initially around the parting area, but the frontal hairline is unaffected.

1-3 to 1-4. Thinning of the hair around the parting area worsens, hair loss is most obvious at the crown, but an unaffected band of hair that extends at least 3 cm behind the frontal hairline remains.

2-2 to 3. At the final stage, almost no hair remains along the parting, the alopecia extends over most of the crown, and although the frontal hairline remains, the band has narrowed to a depth of less than 3 cm.

WHAT CAUSES HAIR LOSS?

Hair transplants can treat hair loss or alopecia in men and women

Alopecia is the medical term for hair loss. 90% of alopecia is caused by androgens, a hormone that causes follicles to miniaturize and eventually shed. It produces hair loss in a particular pattern; for men it usually begins at the temples or the crown. For women, it can cause thinning along the middle or part.

Androgenic hair loss will affect 66% of men, and up to 40% of women.

Other causes of alopecia include:

  • Autoimmune causes (alopecia areata)
  • Stress or inflammation (telogen effluvium)
  • Chemotherapy (alopecia totalis)
  • Hair conditions caused by malnutrition

WHY WE DEVELOPED THE UDSA DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM

Treatment Stats

NO TREATMENT WITHOUT CAUSE

The research advisory board of the DHI Global Medical Group found that 67.3% of men and women who seek hair restoration treatments do so without a proper medical diagnosis. This means that nearly 3 out of every 4 people may be paying for treatment they don’t need.

At Clinique de Paris, we believe in the principle of ‘no treatment without Cause’. We make sure that each of our patients are fully aware of the causes, and best treatments for hair loss using the Unique Diagnostic System for Alopecia (UDSA) developed by DHI Global.UDSA: DIAGNOSING WITH PRECISION

The Unique Diagnostic System for Alopecia (UDSA) is the first step of the DHI Total Care System™. It is a comprehensive, top-down approach to diagnosis that builds a treatment plan around the patient’s psychology, the mathematics behind a potential procedure, key medical factors, and finally the artistry that would go into the treatment.
