  • Simultaneously, the crown of the head starts to lose a lot of hair, exposing the bald scalp.
  • The hair keeps thinning, especially from the front and the crown until the front portion of the head does not have any hair.
    Thankfully, hair transplant can restore all the hair back and you can start looking young again.Since baldness is progressive, you may continue to gt touch ups for newer areas of baldness that may appear over the years.
