Men’s Hair Loss Causes and Treatments

One of the biggest fears among men is hair loss. Almost all men experience some level of hair loss, but the thought of going bald can mean a loss of self-confidence for many men. However, not every case of hair loss in men can be attributed to male pattern baldness. Several other causes are treatable.

Causes of Men’s Hair Loss

Men may be predisposed to thinking they will start losing their hair at some point in their lives, particularly if their family has a history of male pattern balding. However, before men start resigning themselves to the idea of hair loss, they should ensure that other factors are not the cause of their hair loss. 

Male pattern baldness is a genetic condition that affects more than half of men aged around 50 and older. However, many other causes of hair loss are preventable and treatable, including:

• Medical issues like cancer and cancer treatments, arthritis, depression, gout, high blood pressure, and heart problems can also lead to hair loss. 
• Scalp infections are an easily treatable cause of hair loss in men. 
• Your immune system, particularly in an autoimmune condition called alopecia areata, can identify hair follicles as foreign entities in the body and launch an internal attack that can lead to temporary hair loss. There is no cure for the condition, but some treatments may help hair re-growth.
• People with impulse control disorders can subconsciously pull at areas of their hair until it leaves them with a bald spot.
• Prolonged use of hair products that contain harsh chemicals can damage hair follicles and make hair more prone to breaking and shedding. 
• Stress or a severe physical or emotional shock can cause temporary hair loss lasting several months.

Visit Grow &Glow Clinic for Men’s Hair Loss Treatment

Grow & Glow Clinic in Bangkok offers a range of effective men’s hair loss treatments under the guidance of Dr. Phatra Phinyophawasutthi (Dr. Benz). When you make a consultation appointment at Grow & Glow Clinic, Dr. Benz will first conduct a hair and scalp examination as part of your consultation, and your hair goals will be ascertained in determining the right treatment program for you. Grow & Glow Clinic offers a range of treatments, including:

FUT Hair Transplant

The Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) technique is also known as the strip method. A narrow strip of the scalp is removed from the lower back part of the scalp, the scalp is closed, and the individual hair follicles are then removed from the strip and transplanted into the recipient area. This technique enables many grafts to be transplanted in a single session. 

FUE Hair Transplant

FUE hair treatment is popular in Thailand. The Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) transplant technique entails extracting individual hair follicles from a donor area at the back of the scalp and then transplanting them to areas experiencing hair loss. It’s a minimally invasive technique that leaves tiny scars at the extraction site that can be effectively hidden by existing hair. 

DHI Hair Transplant

Direct hair implantation (DHI) is a transplant technique that uses a special pen-like device to isolate the individual hair follicles and remove them for transplantation. The device allows greater precision in the procedure while minimizing damage to the hair follicles and creating more natural-looking results. 

PRP Injections

Concentrated platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections treat the scalp and hair, using the patient’s own blood to stimulate hair growth. The blood is drawn and put into a centrifuge, and the platelet-rich plasma is separated and injected back into the scalp to stimulate activity in the hair follicles. 

Hair Loss Control Injections

Hair loss control injections involve injecting concentrated medications and vitamins directly into the scalp to reduce hair loss severity within a week. 

LLTT Hair Root Stimulation

Grow & Glow Clinic also offers Low-level Laser Light Therapy (LLLT). This treatment stimulates hair growth by treating the follicles with 650-690 nanometers of red laser light, which stimulates blood flow in the scalp and helps strengthen hair roots.

Eyebrow Transplant Services

Certain hair loss causes may also result in eyebrow loss. At Grow & Glow Clinic, we can help restore and thicken eyebrows using the same techniques as we use in hair transplants. The hair selected from the back of the head will closely match the size and shape of your natural eyebrows, providing you with an almost invisible match and thick, healthy eyebrows.
