Hereditary hair loss in men

With the problem of androgenic (hereditary hair loss) more than 75% of the world’s men have experienced. Men with visible thinning and baldness look older, and this also causes aesthetic and psychological discomfort. This problem occurs even when men is absolutely healthy. Hair loss begins with progressing thinning of the hair and until the appearance of bald patches in the crown of the head.  It is not possible to stop this process on your own.

Male pattern baldness is natural and predetermined by heredity. The male sex hormone testosterone converts to the active form dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is responsible for hair growth or male pattern baldness.

If the hair is sensitive to DHT, it triggers a smooth cell death in the hair growth zone. They thin out until they disappear permanently.

There are two approaches to maintaining hair growth:

1. Therapeutic;
2. Surgical.

The therapeutic approach consists of continuous use of drugs containing 5-alpha-reductase enzyme blockers. At HairMed, a trichologist will select the necessary therapeutic drugs against hereditary baldness. The drugs help to improve growth and injection techniques. Good results of baldness treatment can be achieved with specialized procedures: mesococktails, plasma therapy, microneedling therapy. These methods will keep hair growth for several years. But not forever.

The surgical approach is to transplant hair from the occipital area to the baldness area. This approach is the most effective and can restore hair growth in the balding area for a long period of time. Hair transplantation is performed by sutureless hair transplantation and flap method.
