What is crown thinning?
Crown thinning refers to hair loss that occurs at the top rear portion of the scalp, often an early indicator of male pattern baldness.
This region is particularly susceptible to androgenic hair loss due to the high presence of DHT-sensitive follicles. Over time, density may decrease noticeably without intervention.
Red light therapy has shown effectiveness in improving density in the crown area when applied consistently over several months, especially during early stages of thinning.
