Hair loss is classified into non-scarring and scarring alopecias, the latter being further subdivided into primary and secondary forms. These classifications are also referred to as non-cicatricial and cicatricial hair loss. This article focuses on androgenic alopecia (AGA) and will, at times, be referred to as male pattern hair loss (MPHL) or female pattern hair loss (FPHL). Essentially, AGA is a non-scarring, benign form of alopecia, generally related to ageing and where, on the whole, a proportion of hair can grow back. Aestheticians should be prepared to answer a patient's questions and concerns and be familiar with the current levels of evidence surrounding the myriad of treatments available.

Objective: To determine the frequency of different hair loss using BASP classification in Pakistani men. Study Design: Cross-Sectional Study. Setting: Study was conducted at Department of Dermatology, Abbasi Shaheed Hospital, Karachi. Duration: Six months starting 6th August 2019 till 5th January 2020 Material and Methods: Total 157 diagnosed patients with hair loss who met the diagnostic criteria were included. Brief history was taken and demographic information was recorded after taking written informed consent. Male pattern of hair loss (MPHL) was checked and categorized using BASP classification. Data was analyzed by SPSS 24.0. Results: In this study out of 157 patients, mean and standard deviation of age and duration of hair loss were 33.14±12.49 years and 1.89± 0.44 years, respectively. The Pattern of hair loss distribution showed that 34 (21.7%) were L type, 66 (42%) were M type, 35 (22.3%) were C type, and 22 (14%) were U type patterned hair loss. Conclusion: Assessment of male pattern hair loss using BASP classification found that M type hair loss was more prevalent. Currently, there are effective medical and surgical treatments available for men. However, the knowledge of pattern of hair loss in our population would help in choosing suitable treatment plans.

AbstractPatterned hair loss which includes both male pattern hair loss (MPHL) or androgenic alopecia (AGA) and female pattern hair loss (FPHL) is the most common indication for hair transplant surgery. However, not all such patients are candidates for hair transplants. There are eight conditions that cause patients to not be appropriate candidates. These are: diffuse unpatterned alopecia (DUPA), cicatricial alopecia (CA), patients with unstable hair loss, patients with insufficient hair loss, very young patients, patients with unrealistic expectations, patients with psychologic disorders such as body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) and trichotillomania, and patients who are medically unfit. In addition, there are patients who are poor candidates and who should undergo hair transplantation only if they understand and accept limited results. The key to identifying these patients involves performing careful and detailed history and examination at the time of consultation.
