What is a balding pattern?
A balding pattern refers to the typical progression of hair loss, often influenced by genetics and commonly classified using scales like the Norwood-Hamilton or Ludwig scales.
Understanding an individual's balding pattern helps in diagnosing the underlying cause and choosing appropriate treatment strategies, including topical or light-based interventions.
Red light therapy may be more effective when used early in the balding pattern, before significant follicle miniaturization has occurred. Regular use can help preserve density in targeted areas.
