In order to assess the extent of genetic hair loss in men, dermatologists and trichologists commonly use the Hamilton-Norwood scale. The Hamilton-Norwood scale helps hair loss experts and patients alike monitor the state of loss, devise an appropriate treatment regimen and evaluate whether the condition is improving or worsening.
