Male Hair Loss

Hair Loss In Men

Male hair loss and male pattern baldness are primarily caused by genetics, affecting millions of men of all ages. Our doctors can treat balding and thinning of hair with a hair transplant procedure, using the latest techniques and technologies. Their expertise in hair restoration can help provide patients with permanent, natural-looking results. We also can prescribe FDA-approved medication to try and save existing hair. Patient education is important for the success of any medical procedure, and we invite you to learn more about this condition and how we can help.

Causes of Male Hair Loss

Hair loss can occur for a number of reasons. For most men, hair naturally thins with age. This loss is gradual and may not result in baldness. Androgenetic alopecia, or male pattern baldness, can begin in a man’s late teens or early 20s or even much later in life. It typically starts as a receding hairline near the front of the scalp. Eventually, it may results in hair loss extending from the hair line back to the crown.

Researchers have found several different factors that can contribute to hair loss:

Abnormal hormone levels 
Genetics
Chronic stress or illnesses
Chemotherapy
Chemical hair treatments

Skin or scalp trauma, such as burns or other scars
Autoimmune diseases and certain medical conditions, such as lupus, thyroid disease, and diabetes

Androgenetic alopecia, or male pattern baldness, can begin in a man’s late teens or early 20s or even much later in life.

Negative Effects of Hair Loss

Hair loss can affect a man’s self-esteem and self-confidence. Baldness can make a man appear older than his actual age. Hair loss is particularly difficult for men who began balding at a younger age. The lack of confidence men experience can affect their professional and personal lives.

Is Hair Restoration Right For You?

If you are suffering from permanent hair loss, you are likely a good candidate for hair restoration. These treatments are most appropriate for men of any age even in their early 20s. The technique we use will depend on the patient’s overall goals, preferred hairstyles, and severity of hair loss. We almost exclusively recommend FUE as the harvesting technique for men.

Benefits of Hair Restoration

Hair restoration through hair transplant surgery can eliminate baldness. By harvesting hair grafts from another area of the head and transferring them to the balding areas, patients can achieve a natural-looking head of hair. The results are permanent. After a period of just four months, the hair will begin to grow at a rate of one-half inch per month.
