Norwood Scale: What Each Stage Means and Your Options
Watching your hairline retreat and wondering how far it will go can be really worrying. The Norwood scale is the standard scale doctors use to describe male pattern hair loss. It goes in seven stages, from no visible loss (stage 1) to a thin band of hair around the sides and back (stage 7). You can compare photos of your hairline and crown with the stages below to find yours. Your stage shows where hair has been lost, not how fast it will go.

Are You a Good Candidate for Hair Transplant Surgery?
Dr Bonaros is often asked, “Can anyone get a hair transplant?” Unfortunately, the answer is no. Despite medical advancements, not everyone suffering from hair loss is a good hair transplant candidate.
If you are considering this procedure, it is essential to educate yourself about who is eligible for a hair transplant.
How Hair Loss Can Affect You Psychologically
Alopecia, a disease resulting in hair loss, may not be a severe medical issue. However, in most cases, hair loss has a weighty impact on psychological well being. Living with receding hair takes an emotional toll on those affected. Luckily, you do not have to lay your arms in front of alopecia. Both hair loss and resulting psychological effects can be treated.
Consultation
Before any hair restoration treatment, there has to be an honest hair loss consultation. You can request a face-to-face consultation at our clinic in Glasgow or an online consultation. Dr Bonaros will work with you to diagnose your condition and create an effective, personalised treatment programme.
