Baldness is a natural phenomenon that mainly affects men. While, for some the problem does not exist, for others instead begins a real path of decrease in their self-esteem, a path that, as can be well understood, can significantly affect the quality of life of the person concerned. The hair loss and the consequent progress of baldness represent, in addition to a considerable change of image, also a damage to self-esteem and it is precisely this last aspect, cause of depression and anxiety that should not be underestimated. In addition to the impact on mood, there is also the mistaken belief that there are no solutions to the problem.

What are the stages attributed to male pattern baldness

As you can see, the various stages of baldness are devided into degrees. This analysis is contained in a table called the “Norwood scale”.

The name comes from a certain O’Tar Norwood, who in 1975 established a scale with which to calculate the degree of baldness. This scale still represents the basis for the identification of the androgenetic level and is the globally recognized indicator and represents the basis on which the doctor relates to the patient in question to establish the pharmacological or surgical therapy that solves the problem.

This indicator, in addition to being unique and simple, is the tool able to identify well the presumed evolution of the state of male pattern baldness based on patterns that show the progressive thinning of the hair.

As mentioned above, there are several stages taken into account by the Norwood scale, ranging from scale 1, the person without the presence of miniaturization or hair loss, to scales 2, 3 and 4, which represent a degree from mild to intermediate hair loss, characterized by retreat on the temples and at the top. When you go from grade 5 to grade 7, it refers to a major setback, if not a hair loss that affects the entire scalp.

The most requested and treated cases are scale 3 and 4 cases. Many people are affected by grade 3, which has an increased shaving of a few centimeters, without prejudice to the possibility of a summit that is still attached and miniaturized, while people affected by grade 4 of the Norwood scale have an important retreat from the temporal front, which eventually also attacks the summit.

These are the stages in which people are alarmed to the point of resorting to the hair implant Zurich, while it would be advisable for them to access the treatment even earlier, in order to alleviate more advanced stages, such as these.

The traditional techniques applied, called FUE and FUT, involve rather invasive surgical practices as they leave scars, even in covered areas.

Hasci, leader in the hair implant Zurich sector, practices the patented HST technique, or Hair Stemcell Transplantation, which takes only a portion of the follicular unit, creating a second one that is transplanted into the recipient area that is constituted and into the donor area that is reconstituted. In this way, the follicular unit doubles and multiplies by activating a cloning process comparable to the cutting that is applied in plants.
