  US Hair Restoration - Male pattern baldness
US Hair Restoration - Male pattern baldness:

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) a powerful sex hormone is known to be the trigger for male pattern baldness. It has been noted that men with MPB have elevated levels of the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase. The act of genes, hormones and time makes prone hair shorter and finer over time and before it eventually dies out. The progress of this miniaturization causes disappearance of certain hair shafts and shrinkage of the others. In this process the scalp hair becomes very fine and short, which is also known as miniaturized hair.

Hair loss can begin as early as the end of puberty. The Hamilton-Norwood scale is used for the classification of male pattern baldness and is based on the progress and severity of hair loss. Currently, several treatment options are available. Besides hair transplantation, there are two medications that have been FDA approved for use in the United States. Patients who benefit the most from effects of medications on slowing the baldness process are still in the initial stages of baldness." From US Hair Restoration site. Hair transplant cost is also decreased thanks to the new technology offered by US Hair Restoration.
