Hair Loss Treatment for Men in India

Avoiding complex health issues such as allergy need to be identified during the early stages in order to experience the optimum results. Allergens and pollens cause major problems due to which proper health benefits are not realized.

Male pattern hair loss, also known as Male Androgenetic Alopecia (MAA), affects approximately half of the male population by the age of 50. It primarily impacts the temples, mid-frontal scalp, and vertex regions, leading to noticeable thinning or balding.

Hair loss is typically a gradual process. On average, a person loses 50-100 hairs per day, but when hair loss exceeds this rate and new hair fails to grow, it can lead to baldness.

Symptoms: Male androgenetic alopecia often presents with sudden, significant hair loss and the development of oval or round-shaped bald patches. Other common signs include:

Smooth, round, or oval bald patches on the scalp
Spotty or patchy baldness in different areas of the scalp
Hair loss on the beard, eyebrows, or eyelashes
Changes in the color, texture, or shape of nails
A noticeable band of hair loss around the hairline
Itching, burning, or tingling sensations on the scalp where hair loss begins
Eye irritation due to the loss of eyelashes or eyebrows

These symptoms indicate the onset of alopecia and should be addressed to manage the condition effectively.

When hair loss occurs without new hair growth to replace the lost strands, it eventually leads to baldness. The severity of hair loss varies, and the higher the level of loss, the more challenging it becomes to treat. Here are some effective treatments for hair restoration:

PRP Therapy
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy is a medical approach for hair regrowth that involves a three-step process:

Blood is drawn from the body and placed into a centrifuge to separate it into three layers: platelet-poor plasma, platelet-rich plasma, and red blood cells.
The platelet-rich plasma is then carefully injected into specific areas of the scalp to stimulate hair follicles, encouraging new growth.

Mesotherapy
Hair Mesotherapy is a non-invasive treatment that involves injecting a blend of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other essential nutrients directly into the scalp.

This procedure nourishes hair follicles, reduces dandruff, and activates dormant hair bulbs.
It promotes hair growth, prevents further loss, improves blood circulation in the scalp, and enhances hair quality and density.

QR 678®
QR 678® is an innovative and affordable treatment for hair fall and regrowth.

This therapy utilizes polypeptides that naturally occur in the scalp, making it a safe and effective option.
It penetrates the scalp deeply, nourishing the follicles and stimulating hair growth, ultimately improving hair density.

These treatments are designed to help nourish the scalp, activate hair follicles, and restore hair growth.

Male pattern hair loss, also known as androgenetic alopecia, can be caused by several factors, including:

Genetics: Inherited traits from either parent can contribute to hair loss.
Physical or Emotional Stress: Stress can trigger hair loss and disrupt the natural hair growth cycle.
Age: As men age, the likelihood of experiencing hair loss increases.
Sudden Blood Loss: A drastic drop in blood supply to the scalp can result in hair thinning.
Major Surgery or Illness: Stress from surgery or illness can affect hair growth.
Severe Infection or High Fever: Certain infections or prolonged fevers can contribute to hair loss.
Low Protein Diets: Insufficient protein intake can weaken hair follicles.
Autoimmune Conditions: Conditions like alopecia areata can cause the immune system to attack hair follicles.
Overuse of Hair Products: Excessive shampooing, blow-drying, or using harsh hair products may damage hair.
Medications: Certain medications, including chemotherapy and steroids, can lead to hair loss.
Hormonal Changes: Imbalances in hormones, particularly androgens, can cause hair thinning.
Habitual Scalp Manipulation: Constantly rubbing the scalp or pulling at hair can damage hair follicles.

Effects of Male Pattern Hair Loss:

Hair loss begins with the temples, leading to a receding hairline that forms an "M" shape.
Thinning is often noticeable on the crown or top of the head.
Androgenetic alopecia is also linked to certain health conditions, including prostate cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes, and obesity.

What treatments are available for male pattern hair loss?

Current treatment options include: -Hair replacement/transplantation: DHI, FUE, FUT -Cosmetics -Micropigmentation (tattoo) to resemble shaven scalp -Medicines -PRP Therapy

Isn't hair loss just a cosmetic issue?

Male pattern hair loss can have a negative psychological impact. Studies have shown that hair loss can be associated with low self esteem, depression, introversion, and feelings of unattractiveness. This is reinforced by attitudes in Western society, which place great value on youthful appearance and attractiveness. Some studies have shown that based on appearance alone, men with hair loss are seen as less attractive, less assertive, less likeable, and less successful than men without hair loss.

How common is male pattern hair loss?

Male pattern hair loss affects nearly all men at some point in their lives. It affects different populations at different rates, probably because of genetics. Up to half of male Caucasians will experience some degree of hair loss by age 50, and possibly as many as 80% by the age of 70 years, while other population groups such as Japanese and Chinese men are far less affected.The severity of hair loss can be classified in several ways.

What role does heredity/genetics play in the male pattern hair loss?

Male pattern hair loss occurs in men who are genetically predisposed to be more sensitive to the effects of DHT. Researchers now believe that the condition can be inherited from either side of the family.

What is the role of 5-alpha reductase in the body?

5-alpha reductase is an enzyme that regulates production of DHT. An enzyme is a protein that acts as a catalyst to speed up a chemical reaction. 5-alpha reductase can be inhibited by specially synthesised drugs (see below).

Where is DHT found in the body?

DHT is found in several tissues in the body including the prostate gland and skin.

What is Hair Miniaturisation?

Unlike other areas of the body, hairs on the scalp to grow in tufts of 3–4. In androgenetic alopecia the tufts progressively lose hairs. Eventually when all the hairs in the tuft are gone, bald scalp appears between the hairs.

What is the normal hair growth cycle?

All hair follicles are replaced at different rates by the normal process of hair cycling. Hair growth alternates between phases of activity and rest. The growth period, called the anagen phase, lasts for two to six years. During this time, the follicle is long and deep, and produces thick, well-pigmented hair. About 90% of all scalp hairs are in the anagen phase at a given time. Anagen is followed by a brief transition phase known as the catagen phase, which lasts 1–2 weeks. During this time, the base of the follicle shrivels. The resting period, or telogen phase, follows catagen and lasts for 3 months. In this phase, the shrunken follicle retains the hair fibre. Following the telogen phase, the next anagen phase begins, and the old hair is dislodged and falls out to make room for a new hair to begin growing in its place.

What is male pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia)?

Hair loss resulting in thinning is known as alopecia. When it is related to hormones (androgens) and genetics, it is known as androgenetic alopecia. When androgenetic alopecia denudes an area of the scalp it is called baldness. Male pattern hair loss is characterised by a receding hairline and/or hair loss on the top and front of the head. A similar type of hair loss in women, female pattern hair loss, results in thinning hair on the mid-frontal area of the scalp and is generally less severe than occurs in males.

What causes pattern balding?

Male pattern hair loss is an inherited condition, caused by a genetically determined sensitivity to the effects of dihydrotestosterone, or DHT in some areas of the scalp. DHT is believed to shorten the growth, or anagen, phase of the hair cycle, from a usual duration of 3–6 years to just weeks or months. This occurs together with miniaturisation of the follicles, and progressively produces fewer and finer hairs. The production of DHT is regulated by an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase. Several genes are involved, accounting for differing age of onset, progression, pattern and severity of hair loss in family members. The susceptibility genes are inherited from both mother and father. At this time, genetic testing for prediction of balding is unreliable. A few women present with male pattern hair loss because they have excessive levels of androgens as well as genetic predisposition. These women tend also to suffer from acne, irregular menses and excessive facial and body hair. These symptoms are characteristic of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) although the majority of women with PCOS do not experience hair loss. Less often, congenital adrenal hyperplasia may be responsible. Females that are losing their hair with age are more likely to present with female pattern hair loss, in which hormone tests are normal.
