Allopecia ( Male )

Alopecia in men is a condition characterized by progressive hair thinning or complete hair loss, most commonly seen on the scalp. There are several forms of alopecia. The most common being androgenetic alopecia — often referred to as male-pattern baldness. This form is driven by a combination of genetics and hormonal sensitivity, particularly to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which gradually weakens hair follicles over time. The process is slow, often beginning with a receding hairline or thinning at the crown, and for many men, it can carry a psychological and emotional weight.

Its progression is typically chronic and long-term, meaning that once the follicle miniaturization cycle accelerates, it tends to worsen unless addressed directly. For most cases, therefore, the objective is centered on slowing or reversing the follicular degradation rather than masking the symptoms. Since each case of alopecia has its own underlying hormonal and genetic drivers, an effective approach requires a tailored strategy that addresses the root causes and supports the health and longevity of the remaining follicles.
