Hair loss is a problem that bothers men more than women. The cause is that the male hormone (Testosterone) changes into the hormone DHT (Dihydrotestosterone). Which binds to the hair follicles on the scalp, causing the hair to become weak and fall out easily. The life cycle of the hair is shortened, resulting in thinning hair and baldness.
However, besides the problem hormones, hair loss in men has many other causes. Which we will explain in the next section.
Causes of Hair Loss in Men
- Certain diseases: For example, thyroid disease, which causes thyroid hormones to malfunction, leading to increased levels of the hormone DHT. Another condition is Alopecia Areata, also known as “autoimmune baldness.” Also, syphilis, which occurs when the bacteria Treponema Pallidum enters the body, affects the hair follicles, causing patchy hair loss.
- Use of certain medications: There are many types of medications that can cause hair loss in men as a side effect. Examples include medications used to treat high blood pressure, anticoagulants, hormone balancers, and chemotherapy drugs used to treat cancer. Most of the time, when they enter the body, they weaken the hair follicles. Causing the hair on the head to gradually fall out.
- Stress: When the body is exposed to stress, the hormone cortisol is released. This hormone affects the hair roots by shortening the “Anagen Phase” (growth phase) of the hair, resulting in more hair loss than normal. In addition, stress causes blood vessels to constrict, reducing the blood supply to the hair. The hair roots therefore receive less nutrients and oxygen, which is another cause of hair loss in men.
- Smoking: Smoking is detrimental to your overall health, including your hair. The chemicals in cigarettes cause blood vessels to constrict, which reduces blood flow to the hair follicles. As a result, the hair follicles receive less nutrients and oxygen, which makes them more susceptible to hair loss.

3 approaches to treating hair loss in men
In the past, we had to accept it and wear a hat to hide the hair loss on our heads. But with the development of medical technology today, there are ways to solve hair loss in men that give good results. And there is not only one way. Due to differences in the condition of the scalp, hair, and other factors, there are many ways to solve hair loss in men to solve each person’s problem directly, as follows:
Treatment of hair loss in men using medication
Minoxidil (Rogaine) and finasteride (Propecia, Proscar) are two popular options for treating male hair loss, and they differ in the following ways:
- Minoxidil (Rogaine): A topical hair growth stimulant. Apply to areas of the scalp where hair loss is occurring twice daily or as directed by your doctor. It may take 4 to 6 months to monitor results.
- Finasteride (Propecia, Proscar): A pill that reduces the hormone DHT, which causes hair loss. It is used only in men. The follow-up period is about 3-6 months. The side effect is that it may reduce sexual desire.
Hair loss treatment by hair transplant
Another popular way to solve male hair loss is hair transplantation, which has two main techniques: FUT and FUE. Each technique has the following advantages:
- FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation): A traditional technique in which the doctor surgically removes a piece of scalp with strong hair roots from the nape of the neck and stitches it back into the area where the hair is falling out. This method produces a large number of hair grafts and is suitable for people who have a large area of hair loss. However, the disadvantage is that it creates a long scar at the nape of the neck and takes a long time to recover.
- FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction): This is a more modern technique. Its highlight is the use of a small tool to extract hair roots from the back of the head one clump at a time and transplant them into the areas where the hair is falling out. This method takes longer to operate than FUT, but the scars are much smaller and almost invisible. This is ideal for people who are losing hair in patches or who want to transplant hair in limited areas.
Using lasers to treat hair loss
It is a new technology that can treat hair loss safely, effectively and conveniently. There are two main types of lasers used to treat hair loss: low-energy lasers (LLLT) and laser hair growth therapy (Laser Hair Growth Therapy).
- LLLT (Low-Level Laser Therapy): This is the use of low-energy laser light that is projected onto the scalp. The laser light stimulates blood circulation, which has a positive effect on the hair roots, strengthening them and stimulating new hair growth.
- Laser Hair Root Stimulation : In contrast to LLLT, this method uses a high-energy laser to help expand the size of the hair follicle, stimulate new hair growth, and extend the life of the hair.
