Debunking Baldness Statistics: What Percent of Men Actually Experience Hair Loss?
The fear of going bald is a common concern among men around the world.
But how many actually experience significant hair loss? It’s time to separate fact from fiction and reveal the true statistics behind male pattern baldness.
Male pattern baldness, also known as androgenetic alopecia, is the most common form of hair loss in men.
According to the American Hair Loss Association, by the age of 35, approximately two-thirds of American men will experience some degree of appreciable hair loss. This figure rises to about 85% by the age of 50. But it’s not just an issue for the middle-aged; some men start to see signs of thinning as early as their twenties.
Genetics play a pivotal role in hair loss, but they aren’t the sole culprits. Environmental factors like stress, diet, and lifestyle can also impact the health of a man’s hair. In recent years, cultural attitudes towards baldness have shifted. While a balding scalp was once considered a sign of aging or a lack of virility, today, it’s embraced by many as a symbol of sophistication and confidence. However, for those who feel their self-image is compromised by hair loss, the psychological impact can be profound.
At Charles Medical Group, we understand the importance of personal image and the distress baldness can cause.
Dr. Glenn M. Charles and his team offer a wealth of hair restoration services tailored to the needs of men at different stages of hair loss. From advanced Follicular Unit Excision (FUE) and traditional Follicular Unit Grafting (FUT) to cutting-edge non-surgical options like Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) and LaserCap® therapy, we provide customized solutions that address both the aesthetic and psychological aspects of baldness.
Our practice celebrates the individual journey of each patient. With a focus on natural and undetectable results, we strive to restore not just hair, but also the confidence and self-esteem that can be lost with it.

The psychological impact of hair loss cannot be underestimated.
For many men, hair is an integral part of their identity and self-expression. The anxiety and loss of confidence that can accompany the onset of balding can affect all areas of life, from personal relationships to professional interactions. By providing effective, personalized treatment plans, Charles Medical Group empowers men to take control of their hair loss and reclaim their self-assuredness.
