The pattern hair loss could occur at any age past puberty, mostly affects the men, but women also get affected with the same with a different pattern of hair loss. The Androgenic alopecia or the hereditary hair loss genes are transferred from either parent as both mother and father are responsible for transferring the genes for hair loss. It has been found out that by the age of 30, you have a 25-30% chance of displaying balding, by age 50, 50% of men show the noticeable sign of baldness with a particular grade of Norwood grade of baldness, by age 60, about two-thirds of men either bald or have a balding pattern. However, saying that there is a particular age of baldness is not true as a patient can show the sign of baldness at any stage if suffering from the genetic baldness. And, the starting phase of triggering hair loss or baldness is defined obviously after the Puberty.

Hereditary baldness starts triggering due to the DHT-sensitivity of hair roots, especially in the areas of the top, front, crown as well as the mid-crown areas of the scalp. It has been found out that the role of male sex hormone, Androgen is at play for presenting the pattern hair loss that accelerated with the catalytic activities of an enzyme known as the 5-alpha-reductase results in the formation of DHT or Di-hydro Testosterone that causes the pattern hair loss or the Androgenic alopecia.

If a patient is suffering from the Androgenic alopecia or the pattern baldness, the only solution to treat the issue permanently is the hair transplant surgery. All over the world, the practicing of cosmetic surgeries weighs prime attention due to the cost hike and limited reputed hospitals in the cities. However, India has a top-rank position in offering quality treatment of hair transplant in Asian countries and patients from countries like Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Nepal, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh regularly visit India to get the surgery done. The hair transplant in Bangladesh is less popular compared to other Asian countries in spite of having lesser hair transplant cost in Bangladesh.
