Hair-Loss Guide

The Norwood scale — find your stage.

Surgeons use the Norwood scale to measure male-pattern hair loss across 7 stages. Knowing yours tells you how far it's progressed and which treatments fit — early stages have the most options.

The 7 stages

From a maturing hairline to advanced loss.

Stage I

A full, juvenile hairline with no real recession.

Fit: Monitor · scalp health

Stage II

A mature hairline — slight recession at the temples. Normal for most adults.

Fit: Early PRP if progressing

Stage III

The first clearly balding stage — deeper temple recession (the classic 'M').

Fit: PRP / exosomes · FUE hairline

Stage III Vertex

Recession plus early thinning at the crown.

Fit: Regenerative + FUE (hairline + crown)

Stage IV

More recession and a defined bald spot at the crown, separated by a band of hair.

Fit: FUE + regenerative stack

Stage V

The band between front and crown narrows; both zones enlarge.

Fit: High-volume FUE planning

Stage VI–VII

Front and crown merge; only a horseshoe of donor hair remains.

Fit: Careful donor-led FUE plan

Answers

Common questions, answered straight.

Compare your hairline and crown to the stages above, then confirm it free with a scalp analysis — we map your exact pattern and donor density.

All of them. Earlier stages (II–IV) have the widest options, including regenerative therapy to slow progression; later stages focus on donor-led FUE planning.

Not necessarily — it depends on your donor supply, not just the stage. Even advanced loss can often be restored with careful planning.
