Understanding Male Pattern Hair Loss
  • Male hair loss happens due to the chemical Dihydrotestosterone, or DHT. DHT builds up around the hair follicle and eventually kills both the follicle and the hair.
  • Hair follicles in areas that are destined to become bald seem to be especially sensitive to DHT, and shrink when exposed to it.
  • Follicles on the sides and back of head are not exposed or affected to DHT.
  • Male Pattern Baldness is the most common form of hair loss, representing close to 95% of all cases of hair loss in men.
  • Approximately half of the male population experience Hair-loss by age 50. So if you are experiencing hair loss, you’re certainly not alone.
  • It’s important to make an appointment to see our team of Hair-loss specialists in order to help limit or stop further hair loss and regrow some hair.
  • Your Hair-loss Specialist will diagnose your specific areas of follicle deficiency and then determine the most suitable option to achieve your normal hair again.
