ABSTRACT
Androgenic alopecia, or male pattern baldness, is a common progressive disorder that is characterized by a premature decrease in scalp hair density in the bitemporal and vertex areas of the scalp. Because a full head of hair is associated with youth and vitality, hair is an important part of self-image for both men and women. Recent advances in hair restoration techniques have been able to create a much more natural result than in the past. As a consequence, an increasing number of patients are seeking hair restoration today.
