Norwood Stage 3

Norwood classification 3

Norwood 3 is said to be the earliest stage of male pattern hair-loss. The temporal recession deepens and a frontal tuft is established. Further hair-loss or thinning can be stabilised by medication.

We would consider transplanting this pattern depending on the individuals age, their future hair-loss pattern and their personal expectations of a transplant.

Medication can help to slow-down hair-loss at this stage but suitability for transplantation would depend on your age and your expectations.

However, the forelock can be stabilised with a transplant and/or with medication. The design would be dependent on your future hair-loss and your age - but the goal is always to create a transplant that looks natural now and in the future. It is also important that the transplant isn’t dependent on either further transplantation or medication for its naturalness. It must look natural for the whole of your life no matter how much hair-loss you experience.
