Can We Treat Male Pattern Hair Loss (AKA Androgenic Alopecia)?

Absolutely! Male pattern hair loss is extremely common, with up to 80% affected at some point in their life. It presents with gradual thinning of hair on the crown and front of the scalp. If allowed to progress, it is mostly irreversible by the time a man is in his 40s or 50. It can cause self-esteem issues and is associated with reduced quality of life in many men.
