DIAGNOSIS

Androgenetic Alopecia

A 29-year-old patient presented with progressive hair thinning and reduced hair density, giving the appearance of early balding. The condition had affected his confidence and led to social discomfort. 

Clinical evaluation confirmed androgenetic alopecia (male pattern hair loss). Although he initially consulted for a hair transplant, we recommended a personalised medical treatment plan to control hair fall and improve hair density.

Over the course of treatment, the patient experienced noticeable improvement in scalp coverage, helping delay the need for a hair transplant while restoring his confidence.

Problem & Challenges

Gradual hair thinning and reduced scalp coverage made early balding increasingly noticeable in the patient. The visible changes affected the patient’s confidence and led to social discomfort, prompting him to seek professional advice for hair treatment, with the expectation that a hair transplant would be required.

  • Progressive hair thinning and reduced hair density
  • Diffuse scalp thinning consistent with androgenetic alopecia
  • Visible signs of early balding
  • Reduced confidence and self-consciousness
  • Social discomfort due to changes in appearance
  • Increased hair shedding during washing and combing
