About Hair Loss
Male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) is the most common cause of hair loss in men in the UK. It can begin as early as the early 20s and becomes more common with age.
Hair loss can also occur for other reasons, such as autoimmune conditions (for example alopecia areata) or as a result of medical treatments like chemotherapy.
