How Hair Loss Affects Men

For men, hair loss is often seen as an inevitable part of aging, but it doesn’t have to be. While male pattern baldness follows a predictable progression—starting with a receding hairline and thinning crown—it can be triggered or worsened by a range of factors. The emotional impact is just as significant, making timely and effective treatment a priority. At APDerm, we take a personalized, results-driven approach to hair restoration, offering treatments tailored to meet each individual’s goals.

What Causes Men to Lose Their Hair?

Male Pattern Baldness (Androgenic Alopecia)

Genetics is the most common cause of hair loss in men. Hormonal changes shrink hair follicles over time, leading to a gradual loss of density, often beginning at the temples and crown.

Stress and Lifestyle Factors (Telogen Effluvium)

Physical or emotional stress, illness, or drastic lifestyle changes can disrupt the hair growth cycle and result in temporary but noticeable shedding.

Alopecia Areata

This autoimmune condition can cause sudden, patchy hair loss as the immune system mistakenly targets healthy hair follicles. Without intervention, it may progress to more widespread loss.

Hair Damage (Traction Alopecia)

Repeated tension on hair follicles from tight hats, headgear, or hairstyles like man buns can weaken and eventually damage the follicles, leading to permanent loss if untreated.

Other Contributing Factors

Nutritional deficiencies, scalp health issues, and medical treatments like chemotherapy can also lead to hair thinning or shedding, requiring a multifaceted approach to treatment.

Advanced Hair Restoration Options

At APDerm, we utilize cutting-edge, proven methods to address hair loss at every stage. Our mission is to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs, ensuring natural-looking, lasting results. If you’re experiencing thinning hair, a receding hairline, or noticeable shedding, scheduling a consultation with our hair restoration specialists is the first step to understanding the cause and beginning a successful treatment process.

Hair Transplant Surgery

Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)

Perfect for those requiring significant restoration, FUT involves relocating hair follicles from a donor strip to thinning areas, ensuring a dense, natural hairline. While this method is ideal for extensive coverage, proper scar management keeps the donor site discreet.

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)

For those preferring a less invasive option, FUE extracts individual follicles, leaving no linear scar and allowing flexibility in styling. This technique is great for targeting specific areas like the crown or hairline.

No Shave FUE

This technique maintains the appearance of the donor area for maximum discretion, making the procedure virtually undetectable during recovery. It’s ideal for professionals or anyone seeking seamless results without disrupting their routine.
