What is Norwood 4 Hair Loss?
On the Norwood Scale, Norwood 4 represents a more advanced stage of male pattern baldness. At this point, both the hairline and the crown (vertex) show significant recession and thinning. Unlike earlier stages, the balding at the temples and the crown are more defined, though they are still separated by a bridge of hair across the mid-scalp.
 
Common signs of Norwood 4 hair loss include:

• A deep, noticeable recession at the temples forming a strong “M” or “U” shape

• A clearly thinning or balding crown area

• A thinning “band” of hair connecting the hairline to the crown

• Hair loss that is much harder to conceal with styling alone

This stage marks the progression from mild to moderate baldness, and it often accelerates if left untreated.

Why Treat Norwood 4 Hair Loss Now
Norwood 4 is a critical turning point. The balding crown and receding hairline are both visible, and without treatment, the mid-scalp bridge will continue to thin, eventually causing the two bald areas to merge. Acting now gives you the opportunity to:

• Restore both the hairline and crown before they connect

• Preserve density in the mid-scalp bridge to avoid larger bald areas

• Rebuild a natural, youthful look through a combination of treatments

• Prevent progression to Norwood 5 and beyond, where restoration becomes more extensive

How Ambroise Hair Institute Restores Norwood 4 Hair Loss
At Ambroise Hair Institute, we take a comprehensive approach to treating Norwood 4 hair loss. Because both the front and back of the scalp are affected, a strategic plan is required to achieve balanced, natural coverage.

1. Non-Surgical Treatments

• Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy: Encourages regrowth in thinning areas and strengthens existing follicles.

• Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP): Reduces the appearance of scalp visibility in thinning regions.

• Medical Therapies: Prescription solutions that block DHT and slow further miniaturization of hair follicles.
   

2. Surgical Hair Restoration
For most Norwood 4 patients, hair transplantation is the most effective option. Our specialists offer:

• FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction): Ideal for precision hairline and crown restoration with minimal downtime.

• FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation): Suited for patients who require a higher graft count for larger areas.

Both techniques are designed to recreate natural density in the temples, crown, and mid-scalp while preserving donor area integrity.

3. Comprehensive Hair Health Plans
Our team builds a long-term program combining surgical procedures, regenerative medicine, and lifestyle/scalp health treatments to protect results and prevent further progression.
