Ilter Clinic is a member of:
Hair loss in men
Male Pattern Baldness
The most common form of hair loss is Male Pattern Baldness (androgynous alopecia). It is caused by the hormone DHT (Dihydrotestesterone) acting on genetically sensitive follicles.Male Pattern Baldness usually affects the front and crown areas of the head, leaving hair at the back and on the sides untouched. Because they are not susceptible to DHT, the remaining hair that can be transplanted to affected areas.
At the Ilter Clinic we know the success of a hair transplant depends, therefore, on the availability of hair in the donor area and the size of the area to be treated in the recipient area.
The Norwood Scale
As hair loss always varies from person to person, the Norwood Scale was created by Dr O’Tar Norwood to act as a guideline for measuring the degree of hair loss in men. By looking at the scale’s categories, we can see how much hair needs to be transplanted and how much donor hair we have to work with.- Grade 1: The patient has not experienced a substantial amount of hair loss. Hair transplantation is not recommended at this stage.
- Grade 2: Men often start losing hair around their temples. This may continue for several years. Once it reaches an advanced stage, hair transplantation is usually recommended.
- Grade 3: Patients at this level usually have been affected by hair loss for a few years. Hair transplantation is often recommended.
- Grade 4: Hair loss at the temples and an enlarged bald patch on the crown are typical of this grade. A high proportion of clients with Grade 4 hair loss decide to undergo a hair transplant procedure.
- Grades 5 & 6: The hair loss has now reached an advanced stage around the temples and on the crown. As in Grade 4, a high proportion of our clients decide to have a hair transplant at this point.
- Grade 7: Men with such advanced hair loss can be candidates for a hair transplant, but with such a restricted donor area the transplant may be limited to restoring the hairline while the crown remains bald
Free consultation for FUE
The Norwood Scale is a handy tool, but here at the Ilter Clinic we believe every head of hair is different, and therefore every solution should be tailored to suit each individual.
For this, we offer our clients a free consultation during which we can discuss your age, possible hereditary factors, your degree of hair loss, your hair type and structure, and your amount and quality of donor hair. Through this discussion we can ensure that an FUE Ilter Method procedure is necessary. Then, if everything is correct, we can prepare your treatment plan.

When all flights to Northern Europe were grounded because of a volcano eruption in Iceland, Dr. Ilter was stranded in southeast Europe.

With a hair transplantation operation scheduled in Stockholm, Sweden on April 20th, he had to find a quick solution for the problem. Not being a person to sit around and wait as airports continued to close all over Europe, he decided to drive to his patient.
The 3.850 km. drive accross Europe took him two and a half days to complete. But he made it to Stockholm on the day of the scheduled operation. If you want to read the whole story of this dash accross Europe, a blog is posted here
Happy reading!
