What are common hair loss patterns?

Hair loss is extremely common, impacting around 85% of men and 50% of women. That said, hair loss often impacts men and women differently.

Men typically experience balding that starts at the forehead or the crown of the head and expands from there. They may develop an M shape at the hairline, an oval of missing hair at the crown, or both.

On the other hand, women typically experience hair thinning across the entire scalp, or widening out from the center part. Women may feel that their hair looks thin and patchy, rather than noticing a specific loss pattern. They may also notice hair thinning on the sides of the temple.

No matter how hair loss impacts you, Defy Medical offers access to effective hair loss and hair thinning treatments.
