Why Men Lose Their Hair

If baldness, patchy or thinning hair, or a receding hairline is a concern for you, you’re not alone. According to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), two-thirds of men in America will experience some degree of significant hair loss by the age of 35, and around 85% of men will experience thinning hair by age 50.² In fact, more than half of all male consumers around the world consider their looks to be important or very important³, and hair is likely a big part of the way they see themselves. This is why effective hair loss solutions for men are so important. While hair loss in men can be caused by hormonal changes, stress, illness, certain medications, and even diet, the most common cause of male hair loss is genetics. Genetic male pattern baldness, also known as androgenetic alopecia, is diagnosed based on appearance and history of hair loss in the family, and is classified on the Hamilton-Norwood scale. With this condition, hair loss becomes more noticeable as thick hairs gradually become shorter and thinner, revealing more of the scalp. Seeking thinning hair solutions for men at this stage is important since the thinner hair will eventually be lost over time, leading to more significant and noticeable hair loss.

While male hair restoration options date back to 1550 BC, developments in techniques and technologies since the 1990s have opened up more minimally invasive and effective options for men. In fact, the latest advances in men’s hair loss treatment are motivating more male patients to opt into these types of procedures, with RealSelf.com reporting male hair restoration as the second most-researched cosmetic treatment for men⁴ and receiving a 94% Worth It rating.⁵

Men’s Hair Loss Treatments and Solutions

Currently, the gold standard in hair restoration treatments is the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) method. Using this method, the treatment provider extracts individual hair follicles from the back or sides of the head using a specialized device and then implants them in the area where more hair growth is desired. In comparison to the previously more popular Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) method, FUE is more comfortable and achieves natural-looking results with no linear scarring (FUT requires surgically removing a strip from the back of a patient’s scalp for harvesting). The newer FUE method also offers you greater freedom in the hairstyles you choose post-treatment, minimizing the impact hair treatments for men may otherwise have on your schedule or social life.

Committing to men’s hair loss surgery or other types of hair restoration procedures can be a big, nerve-wracking decision. You might be thinking, will this procedure work for me? Will I need to take time off work? Will the results be what I expect? And much more. At Venus Concept, we know hair and, most importantly, we know how to get it back.

Frequently asked questions

What you need to know about male hair loss

BEFORE THE TREATMENT

1. How do I know if I’m a good candidate?

Candidates for hair restoration procedures are those individuals in good health with moderate hair loss and sufficient donor hair on the back of the scalp to transplant into the balding areas. Your doctor will be able to assess your donor hair and the amount of coverage needed to give you the appearance you desire.

2. How soon will I see results?

Once the hair follicles have been implanted, the grafted hair will stay in place for about two to three weeks before shedding—this is normal and an important part of the new growth process. After shedding, the new growth will begin in three to four months and your hair should continue to grow normally. Keep in mind that individual results and timelines may vary for each patient.

3. How long will the hair last?

While it depends on the cause, hair loss does not stop after transplantation. Some people will need continued maintenance and further sessions may be required, particularly if your hair loss pattern continues with age. Your doctor will be able to discuss your treatment options and the results you can expect during your consultation.

4. What is an FUE hair transplant?

FUE stands for Follicular Unit Extraction, which is a minimally invasive hair transplant method that allows for the removal of individual follicles from your donor area without a scalpel incision or stitches, and therefore leaves no linear scar.

5. Do I have to get a total buzz cut to have a hair restoration procedure?

If your donor hair is long enough, the FUE method can be done by shaving small areas, which can be covered up by the areas that were not shaved. If you wear your hair short, you may prefer to shave your whole head so that your hair does not appear patchy as the transplanted grafts grow in.
