Introduction
Androgenetic
alopecia or common male pattern baldness (MPB) accounts for more than
95% of hair loss in men. By the age of thirty-five two-thirds of
American men will experience some degree of appreciable hair loss, and
by the age of fifty approximately 85% of men have significantly thinning
hair. Approximately twenty five percent of men who suffer with male
pattern
baldness begin the painful process before they reach the age of
twenty-one.
Contrary to societal belief, most men who suffer from male pattern baldness are extremely unhappy with their situation and would do anything to change it. Hair loss affects every aspect of the hair loss sufferer's life. It affects interpersonal relationships as well as the professional lives of those suffering. It is not uncommon for men to change their career paths because of their hair loss.
The American Hair Los Association recognizes how devastating male pattern baldness can be for men of all ages, and has created resources for men to get completely objective answers to their hair loss questions.
We strongly advise against researching your options through the yellow pages or commercial websites. There are hundreds of products and services being sold to the vulnerable hair loss consumer, but currently there are only two FDA approved products that have been clinically proven to stop or prevent hair loss. In addition, only a handful of surgeons are performing surgical hair restoration to state of the art standards.
