Androgenetic alopecia, otherwise known as male pattern baldness, affects both men and women. Some individuals will have a single bald spot at the crown of their heads; whereas, others will notice that their hairline is gradually receding. One of the most common thinning patterns is frequently referred to as the ‘widow’s peak.’ A widow’s peak is a V-shaped hairline that involves a quicker loss of the hair near the temples than at the top of the forehead. However, the amount of hair lost and how quickly the hair thins will vary. Nevertheless, a widow’s peak is not always the result of hair loss, for individuals who inherit the V-shaped hairline trait, this receded location is where their normal hairline begins. At Contemporary Hair Transplant in Paramus, New Jersey hair restoration procedures are performed to address receding hairlines, widow’s peaks and bald spots.
