Treatments For Male Pattern Baldness

Male pattern baldness is the most common type of hair loss in men. Also known as androgenic alopecia, it is often a genetic condition. If other males in your family have lost their hair in the classic pattern, you may experience a similar pattern of balding. Genetics, stress, and falling hormone levels from aging can cause male pattern baldness.

Symptoms and Progression

Male pattern baldness has distinct symptoms. First, the front hairline recedes, followed by gradual thinning and shortening of the hair around the top and sides of the head, known as the crown. Many men end up with a U-shaped ring of hair around the back and sides of their head. Treating the condition can boost a man’s self-esteem and pride in his appearance.

Treatment Options

There are numerous drugs and medications available that claim to treat male pattern baldness, including finasteride and minoxidil. Unfortunately, both can have widespread side effects. Finasteride, for instance, has been known to harm a person’s libido and sexual performance. Minoxidil has been known to cause allergic reactions, dizziness, itching, weight gain, and ironically, hair loss. It has also been linked to cardiac problems and chest pains.

Alternative Treatments

Some people suffering from male pattern baldness try a B-vitamin supplement called Biotin. However, there is very little medical evidence to suggest that taking it can help hair growth. Biotin has only been found to help people losing their hair due to a biotin deficiency.

Transplantation is considered the most invasive form of treatment. The process, often referred to as hair plugs, involves taking hair from parts of the scalp where it grows and implanting it in areas affected by baldness. However, it is thought to only help a small section at a time, as there may be a limited amount of hair to donate. The procedure can also result in permanent scarring on the head.

People losing their hair may also deal with the condition through laser combing or wearing a wig. Hairpieces, however, may be expensive, ill-fitting, and appear fake. Those suffering from male pattern baldness may also consider Scalp Pigmentation, which involves having a tattoo applied to a shaved scalp to simulate a head of hair. Unfortunately, it can be a painful, drawn-out process, often resulting in partial, incomplete coverage.
