Male pattern baldness, also known as androgenetic alopecia, is hair thinning primarily driven by genetics and hormonal changes that affect hair growth and hair follicle activity. It typically begins with a receding hairline or thinning at the crown. The condition is caused by the gradual shrinking of hair follicles due to the effects of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a derivative of testosterone, causing you to lose hair. If you're experiencing these symptoms, our hair restoration team at Gro Clinics Australia can tailor a treatment plan to address your unique needs and further prevent male pattern baldness.
