Definition(s)

  • Pattern hair loss is hair loss that primarily affects the top and front of the scalp. In male-pattern hair loss (MPHL), the hair loss often presents itself as a receding hairline, while in female-pattern hair loss (FPHL), it typically presents as a thinning of the hair.Male pattern hair loss is believed to be due to a combination of genetics and the male hormone dihydrotestosterone.
