What Causes Male Pattern Baldness?

Male pattern baldness might be the cause of your hairline receding, your widow's peak becoming more visible, a new bald patch, or just a few additional hairs on your pillow or in your hairbrush. Hair is produced in hair follicles, which are small pouches just beneath the skin's surface. A hair develops from each follicle for around three years. After that, it is shed, and new hair develops from the follicle. This cycle of hair growth, shedding, and new growth continue indefinitely.

These alterations are caused by male hormones. Cells in the scalp skin convert testosterone into another hormone known as dihydrotestosterone. Affected hair follicles become more susceptible to dihydrotestosterone, causing them to shrink. The disease frequently runs in families.

Do you suffer from the following?

Hairline retreating

The hairline starts moving backward and produces an "M" shape.

Over time, a circular region on the back of the skull (vertex) frequently thins and grows in size.

The hair eventually gets finer, shorter, and thinner, forming a U-shaped pattern (or horseshoe)

Thinner strands around the head's crown and temples

The hair grows in a significantly shorter length of time.

How Can We Treat Male Pattern Baldness?

Minoxidil and Finasteride are two medications used to treat male pattern baldness. Minoxidil (Rogaine), is a solution administered to the scalp to stimulate hair follicles. It decreases hair loss and helps some men grow new hair. When you stop using this medication, your hair loss will resume. Finasteride (Propecia, Proscar), a tablet that inhibits the development of a highly active type of testosterone associated with baldness. It reduces hair loss. It is somewhat more effective than minoxidil. When you stop using this medication, your hair loss will resume.

In order to encourage hair growth, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is injected into the scalp. This procedure entails extracting your blood, collecting a part high in platelets, and injecting the regions of hair loss over a number of sessions. Hair transplants include the removal of small plugs of hair from locations where hair is still growing and putting them in balding areas. The technique normally takes numerous sessions and might be costly.
