hair loss
Male hair lossHair loss in men is common, with one in three men experiencing incipient baldness between the ages of 20 and 50. Common problems include a receding hairline, inlets, little hair and a bald crown.
CAUSES OF HAIR LOSS IN MEN
Causes of Hair Loss in MenHair loss in men is often triggered by genetics, aging, and hormonal changes. The most common causes include hereditary baldness (androgenetic alopecia), stress-induced hair loss, and patchy baldness.
Is It Hereditary Baldness?Androgenetic alopecia—the leading cause of hair loss in men—results from DHT sensitivity, progressively shortening the hair growth cycle until hair stops growing entirely. This can begin as early as puberty.
Other Causes of Hair Loss✔ Hair diseases like alopecia areata (patchy baldness)
✔ Medication, stress, and hormonal imbalances
✔ External factors such as poor diet and harsh styling
Proper diagnosis by a specialist is essential before starting any treatment.

Recognizing Hereditary BaldnessHereditary hair loss follows a predictable pattern, making it easy for professionals to diagnose. In men, it typically starts with a receding hairline, thinning inlets, or a bald crown. Interestingly, hair at the sides and back (the “wreath”) remains unaffected, as these follicles are resistant to DHT.
Hair That Is Gone, Stays GoneAs baldness progresses, miniaturization occurs—each growth cycle produces thinner strands until only fine, downy hair remains, before disappearing permanently. Once hair is lost, it does not grow back. However, advanced treatments like the HST method offer effective restoration solutions.

Is it temporary or permanent?Besides hereditary baldness, (hair) diseases, stress, medication use and hormonal fluctuations are common causes of hair loss. Hair loss that has no genetic cause is often temporary. After the cause of hair loss is removed, hair growth usually recovers. Hereditary baldness, on the other hand, is permanent. Once the hairs have fallen out, they do not come back on their own.
