How is Male Pattern Baldness Diagnosed and How Does it Influence Hair Loss?
Male pattern baldness typically presents as hair thinning along the hairline and crown areas. The condition is largely hereditary, with hormonal factors further contributing to its development. These elements together drive the progression of this widely observed hair loss issue.
Stages of Male Pattern Baldness
The Hamilton-Norwood scale measures the progression of male pattern baldness, beginning at stage 1 with minimal hair loss and culminating at stage 7, where baldness dominates the top of the scalp.
Mild to moderate hairline recession occurs in stages 1 to 3.
Stages 4 and 5 mark further hairline retreat and visible thinning at the crown. By stages 6 and 7, the scalp’s top is completely bald.
Occasionally, male pattern baldness manifests as diffuse thinning across the entire scalp, leaving the hairline intact. Another uncommon variation involves localized thinning at the crown with no significant hairline recession. These variations demonstrate that male pattern baldness can deviate from the standard Hamilton-Norwood scale progression.

What makes SMP exceptional is its ability to deliver fast, effective results without the need for surgery or hair transplants.

It's ideal for both early-stage hair loss and advanced baldness.
