Male Pattern Baldness and Solutions

Male pattern baldness, or MPB, has become a term that most men around the world have heard of and researched. If you look in the mirror and see a receding hairline, a thinning crown, or that your hair follicles are shrinking, consider whether you’re experiencing male pattern alopecia. Fortunately, all is not lost.

Due to the most modern of medical and surgical technology, baldness is reversible or preventable these days. Especially with Turkey having evolved into a global hair transplant hub, there may be a benefit in availing of the same.

What is Male Pattern Baldness?

Male androgenetic alopecia is a problem experienced by many men, regardless of their age. It begins with receding hairline and progresses toward the midscalp. It’s also worth noting that baldness occurs in the vertex area. Frequently, areas of balding tend to be confluent to form large patches of baldness.

This is usually the ultimate result of a combination of hormonal and genetic causes. Of the hormones, dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is one that makes hair follicles dwindle gradually with time and lose their capacity to grow hair. MPB is therefore progressive and typically permanent.

Because female pattern baldness and male pattern hair loss cause hair loss at different points, treatment methods must be planned differently. Experts use the Ludwig scale for female pattern baldness cases, while the Norwood scale is used for rating male hair loss.

What Causes Balding in Males?

Genetic inheritance is also one of the causes of male pattern baldness. If your father, uncle, or brother is experiencing baldness, there is a high probability that you will also experience hair loss. However, some causative factors may lead to earlier or more rapid hair loss:

  • Hormones (that is, DHT)
  • Aging
  • Stress and anxiety
  • Insufficiency of vitamins in diet (that is, vitamin D, zinc, biotin)
  • Insufficiency of exercise and diet
  • Smoking and alcohol use
  • Side effects of some medicines

High levels of the DHT hormone negatively impact hair follicles, causing them to shrink and lose strength over time. However, not all individuals who produce DHT get male baldness pattern. Some inherited factors come into action in this situation.

Early Signs of Male Pattern Baldness and Treatment Options

When treating MPB, specialists apply medical or surgical methods, whichever is appropriate for the patient. Therapy must be initiated early at any conceivable time to reduce or reverse the hair loss.

Some of these treatments are as follows:

 

  • Minoxidil (topical solution)
  • Finasteride (oral tablets)
  • Hair growth serum
  • Dutasteride (stronger DHT blocker)
  • PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) injections
  • Red light therapy
  • Hair mesotherapy
  • Hair replacement operations (FUE and DHI procedures)

Medicine is better in the first stage but hair restoration is a time-consuming process in advanced hair loss. Hair plugs surgery is the last and effective procedure particularly where the hairline has fully receded and revealed the crown area.
