The Norwood scale classifies male hair loss from stage 1 (minimal recession) to stage 7 (extensive loss) and it is the foundation of every hair transplant plan at DrVivo.
Why it matters:
✔️ Determines realistic graft count and coverage
✔️ Identifies how much donor area is needed
✔️ Guides hairline design for long-term suitability
✔️ Helps plan for future progression not just current loss
✔️ Stage 6-7 patients may require a staged approach
At DrVivo, Norwood classification is part of every initial scalp assessment.
