“When does male pattern baldness start?” is a common question but there is no definitive answer for this. Since male pattern baldness is associated with a number of other medical conditions such as coronary heart disease. In addition, disorders of insulin resistance such as diabetes, obesity and high blood pressure (hypertension) have been related to androgenetic alopecia.

The first stages of male pattern baldness can start appearing anywhere between 25 and 35 years of age for most men, although the chances of hair loss tend to increase with age. Almost everyone suffering from hair loss asks the question, “is male pattern baldness reversible?” While there is no cure for hair loss, some cases can be temporary with the hair growing back. For others, treatments like Finasteride and Propecia can help to slow down and minimize the loss of hair and even stimulate regrowth while in other more severe and permanent cases, the solutions usually tend to be hair transplants or scalp pigmentation.
