Male-pattern baldness is the most common type of hair loss in men, affecting approximately half of all men by the age of 50. Additionally, around 1 in 4 men will start losing their hair before they turn 30.
While this condition is often hereditary, hormone levels can also influence hair growth. Fortunately, a range of treatment options is available, and we are here to help you find the one that best meets your personal needs. With over 26 years of experience and decades of trust from Londoners, you are in expert hands.
Male-pattern baldness, also known as androgenetic alopecia, is a common condition affecting men worldwide. It is characterised by a gradual thinning of the hair on the scalp, often beginning with a receding hairline and/or thinning at the crown.
It is largely hereditary, linked to genetics and the hormonal changes that come with ageing. Specifically, it is associated with an increase in androgens, male hormones that can affect hair follicles. Over time, these hormones cause the hair follicles to shrink, leading to shorter, finer hair and eventually, hair loss.
If you have noticed that your hair is not as thick as it used to be, or if you are seeing more of your scalp, you might be experiencing male-pattern baldness.
Male-pattern baldness progresses through several stages, each with its own characteristics. Understanding these stages can help in assessing the severity of the condition and planning the appropriate treatment.
In Stage 1, there is minimal recession of the hairline, which is often not noticeable. By Stage 2, there is a slight recession at the temples, forming an “M” shape. Stage 3 is marked by significant hair loss at the temples and crown, with noticeable thinning. In Stage 4, hair loss increases, with the hairline receding further and the crown thinning more. Finally, in Stages 5 through 7, the condition advances to extensive hair loss, resulting in a large bald area at the top of the head and a remaining band of hair around the sides.
Complete baldness is less common than partial baldness or overall thinning.
One of highly experienced doctors will examine your hair to identify the type of hair loss you are experiencing.
We offer a variety of treatments to stimulate scalp regeneration and promote new hair growth. Our goal is to tailor a treatment plan that best suits your needs and helps you achieve optimal results (no hidden fees). We are upfront about all our prices, so you know what to expect instead of anxiously waiting for unexpected bills.
While male-pattern baldness is largely genetic and/or hormonal, maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help support overall hair health.
While a healthy diet, certain supplements, and gentle hair care may support overall hair health, they cannot prevent or cure male-pattern baldness.

You will be seen by one of our friendly doctors or trained clinicians.
Prepare a list of any medications you are taking, including supplements and over-the-counter products. Note any family history of hair loss, recent illnesses, or other health issues. Include information on when you first noticed hair thinning, any changes in hair texture, or other symptoms related to your scalp or hair. Write down any questions or concerns you have about the diagnosis and treatment options. Refrain from using harsh hair products or undergoing chemical treatments (such as dyes or straightening) before your appointment. Keep your scalp clean and avoid excessive use of hair styling products that can cause buildup.
Discuss your medical history, family history of hair loss, and any concerns or symptoms you are experiencing. The doctor will likely examine your scalp and hair. Based on the examination and possibly additional tests, the doctor will diagnose the type and extent of hair loss. The doctor will then discuss available treatments, which may include medications, topical solutions, or procedures like hair transplants. You will receive a tailored treatment plan based on your specific condition and goals. The doctor will also provide instructions on how to use prescribed treatments and any lifestyle changes that might support hair regrowth.
Hair regrowth can take time, and the timeline for seeing results after a hair thinning treatment can vary significantly based on the specific treatment used. Follow the prescribed treatment plan diligently, including applying medications or using products as directed. Continue to care for your scalp as recommended, avoiding harsh chemicals and maintaining a healthy scalp environment. Take before-and-after photos to track any improvements and share them with your doctor during follow-up visits.
