Norwood Scale 5V Hair Transplant
Norwood Class 5V is a unique step in hair loss. It’s a bit like Class 5, but there’s a big difference. Here, most of the hair loss is at the top, not as much at the front.
The big thing with Class 5V is the bald patch on the top of the head. Yes, the front hair goes back a bit like in Class 5, but it’s the top that stands out. Some hair might still connect the front and top, but it’s much thinner than before.
Some people might just have this 5V stage, without the hair going back at the sides like in Norwood Scale 5 Baldness. For others, they might see both the top and sides losing hair as they move from Class 5 to 5V.
Knowing about this is important because it tells us hair loss is complicated and different for everyone.
How long to move from earlier Norwood stages to 5V?
There’s no set time to go from earlier Norwood stages to 5V. Some men might never get to this stage, even if they had Class 4 or 5 when they were younger. Some might have no hair loss when they’re young, but then quickly lose a lot in their late 30s or 40s.
Keep an eye on your hair. If you see a lot falling out when you shower or comb, it might mean your hair loss is getting worse.
The best way to know about your hair loss is to see a hair expert or skin doctor. They can test your hair and tell you if you’re likely to lose more.
How to handle Norwood stage 5V Hair Loss?
If you have Norwood stage 5V hair loss, there are many things you can try. First, let’s look at treatments you don’t need surgery for.
Minoxidil: This cream helps with hair loss. You put it on the thin areas. Studies have shown the stronger 5% cream works better than the weaker one.
Finasteride: This is a pill that helps, especially with hair loss on the top of the head. Minoxidil and finasteride together: Some people get a mix of both. You can buy minoxidil in shops, but only up to 5%. For stronger mixes, you need a doctor’s note.
Both treatments might take a year to show results. However, to maintain the effects, you must continue using them.
Dietary Option: Good hair care is important. Avoid strong chemicals and hot styling tools. Use natural hair products. Eat a healthy diet with things that are good for hair. Regular exercise and stress relief can help, as they make you feel better overall, which is good for your hair.
If these don’t work, you might think about a hair transplant.
Hair Transplant: With lots of hair loss at this stage, a hair transplant might be the answer. There’s still enough hair left to make it look full.
For Norwood class 5V, Eugenix Medical Group has the latest hair transplant method. It’s a new version of the FUE procedure. It’s comfortable, with no cuts. This way, the hair lasts longer and grows well because it’s not out in the air too long. People heal fast after and the new hair looks natural.
