Hair loss in men

Hormonal changes

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone derived from testosterone, is a key factor in male hair loss because it causes hair follicles to shrink.

Stress

Physical or emotional stress can trigger a phase of hair loss.

Unhealthy diet

A deficiency in vitamins and minerals, such as iron, zinc, and vitamin D, can contribute to hair loss.

Medical conditions

Conditions such as thyroid problems, anemia, or autoimmune diseases can affect hair loss.

Smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and lack of sleep can also contribute to hair loss.

Androgenic alopecia

The most common form of hair loss in men. Genetically determined and linked to the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT). It begins with a receding hairline on the forehead and thinning hair on the crown, and can lead to complete baldness on the top of the head.

Alopecia areata

An autoimmune disease that causes sudden hair loss in the form of round or oval patches on the scalp or other parts of the body. In some cases, the hair may grow back, but it may also fall out again.

Telogen effluvium

Temporary hair loss caused by stress, surgery, illness, sudden weight changes, or hormonal changes. Hair falls out diffusely, meaning it thins across the entire scalp.

Traumatic alopecia

Hair loss caused by constant pulling, twisting, or straining of the hair (e.g., from wearing tight hairstyles or hats). It can also occur due to physical injury to the scalp, chemical damage, or heat treatments.

Scarring alopecia

A rare type of baldness caused by inflammatory processes that destroy hair follicles, leaving scars on the skin. Hair loss is permanent because the follicles cannot grow back.

Diffuse alopecia

Hair loss that occurs evenly throughout the scalp.
It can be caused by hormonal changes, stress, improper diet, certain medications, or illness.

Hair and scalp mesotherapy

Scalp mesotherapy is the treatment of injecting a cocktail of vitamins, minerals, hyaluronan and other active substances into the scalp. A high-quality mesotherapy cocktail restores the scalp, stimulates hair growth and strengthens hair. It has been used with great success for more than sixty years as one of the most popular methods of rejuvenating the scalp and the skin of the face and body.

Thinning hair therapy with your own blood

Blood plasma therapy, or your own blood, is a type of so-called regenerative medicine that is most often used in the fight against aging and the treatment of injuries.

It proactively uses components of our blood such as platelets, bio-active substances and growth factors that are responsible for the tissue regeneration process.

In the last few years, autologous blood therapy has gained significant traction based on its positive results in solving the problem of hair loss.

Trichotest - DNA analysis of hair loss and baldness

An innovation in hair loss treatment is the most complete genetic TrichoTest, which enables fully personalized treatment of alopecia. The test determines the genetic predisposition to scalp diseases, which will ensure that your doctor sets the most precise and effective therapy that will slow down and reduce hair loss.

Healthy diet

Hair is made up of keratin, a protein, so it is important to consume enough protein through foods such as meat, fish, eggs, nuts and legumes. Vitamins A, C, D, E, zinc, iron and biotin are essential for hair health. Green leafy vegetables, nuts, seeds, fish and fruit should be part of your daily diet.

Regular hair care

Use mild shampoos and conditioners that will not irritate the scalp or further dry out the hair.
Avoid excessive use of heat devices (hair dryer, hair straightener) as heat can damage hair follicles.

Stress reduction

Stress is one factor that can contribute to hair loss. Find relaxation techniques, such as meditation, yoga, or regular physical activity, to help reduce your stress levels.

Local treatments

Minoxidil is a medication that can be applied directly to the scalp and stimulates hair growth. It is available over the counter and is one of the most commonly used treatments for preventing hair loss.

Regular check-ups with a dermatologist

A visit to a specialist will allow for early identification of hair problems and initiation of appropriate treatment before hair loss becomes serious.

Hair loss comes exclusively from the mother's side of the family

Truth: A genetic predisposition to hair loss can be inherited from both sides of the family, both the mother's and the father's. The genes that influence hair loss come from a complex genetic inheritance, so it cannot be said that the mother's side is solely responsible.

Wearing hats causes baldness

Truth: Wearing a hat does not cause hair loss. However, if you wear the hat too often and it tightens the scalp too much, it can cause friction and irritation, which in some cases can contribute to less hair growth. As long as the hat isn't too tight, you won't have any problems.

Washing your hair every day causes hair loss

Truth: Washing your hair every day will not cause baldness. Shampooing helps keep your scalp healthy and clean. Hair that falls out during washing is usually hair that is already in the shedding stage, not due to washing itself. It is recommended to use a mild shampoo and avoid rough rubbing.

Hair loss only happens to older men

Hair loss can begin at any age, and many men begin to notice signs of baldness as early as their twenties. Androgenetic alopecia, the most common form of baldness, can begin very early and become more pronounced over time.
