What is Male Pattern Baldness?

One of the most prevalent causes of hair loss in men is male pattern baldness.

Male pattern baldness is primarily caused by the hormone Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is derived from testosterone and binds to hair follicles, gradually causing them to shrink.

Over time, the affected follicles produce thinner and weaker hair strands until they no longer produce any hair at all, resulting in baldness. Male pattern baldness can occur as a result of genetics or environmental factors such as stress, diet, medication, or infection or trauma to the scalp.

What are the Different Types of Hair Loss for Men?

Hair loss is a widespread problem that can affect people of all ages and genders. The severity of hair loss varies from person to person and can range from mild thinning to complete baldness. Below are some of the main types of hair loss in men to help you identify what type of hair thinning or balding you have.

Receding Hairline

A receding hairline is one of the most common types of male hair loss. This is where hair begins to thin and eventually fall out on either side of the forehead. In addition to a receding hairline, some men may also notice hair thinning at the crown.

Think you have a receding hairline? We’ve got the solution – book your consultation today and start your journey towards hairline restoration and thick and healthy hair growth.

General Thinning

If you have general thinning, you may experience even hair loss spread over the top of your scalp. General thinning can usually take a little longer to determine as it often begins with a receding hairline or thinning crown.

Here at Este, we offer a range of treatments designed to successfully reverse or prevent hair loss in men.

Thinning Crown

The top of an individual's head is commonly referred to as the ‘crown’ or ‘vertex’ and is prone to hair thinning in men. This condition generally leads to the visibility of the scalp, followed by a bald patch. While some men experience thinning atop their heads alongside a receding hairline, others observe only one or the other.

It is important to note that the extent and pattern of hair loss for men may vary from person to person, so it is important to act promptly to prevent it from worsening.

Alopecia

Alopecia Areata is a common condition which our specialists have a lot of experience in treating. It is characterised by patchy hair loss, resulting from the hair follicles entering the 'resting' phase too quickly. Although it can be passed down genetically, shock and stress can also trigger its onset.

Treatment depends on the severity and stage of the condition, with our clinic having a proven track record of successful outcomes. We invite you to browse through our success stories to discover how we have helped change lives with our alopecia treatment.

Severe Stress (Telogen Effluvium)

Telogen Effluvium is when a person begins to experience hair loss due to recent stress or shock. The hair will begin to fall out around 3 months after exposure to the event which caused the stress or shock.

Signs to lookout for include thinning hair, bald patches, and increased hair shedding following the event. Want to start your hair growth journey? We’re here to help.

Our Treatments for Hair Loss in Kenya

Here at Este Medical, we offer a number of solutions to combat hair loss for men, with a primary focus on improving blood flow to the scalp in order to stimulate the hair follicles. Additionally, we encourage the skin to produce brand new skin cells by removing the dead ones to promote healthy, strong, and thick hair growth in men.

Our revolutionary FUE Hair Transplant is a state-of-the-art procedure which utilises the latest technology to safely and effectively restore your hairline and a full head of hair based on your individual needs. The treatment works by extracting individual hair follicles from the donor area of your head and implanting them in the balding or thinning areas.

If you’re after a non-surgical alternative, our Laser Hair Regrowth Therapy treatment is a non-invasive, FDA-approved procedure that treats hair loss in men by stimulating hair growth using low-level laser therapy (LLLT). The treatment works by increasing blood flow to the hair follicles and stimulating cell metabolism, leading to thicker, fuller, and healthier hair. Our advanced technology ensures precise targeting and maximum results with no pain, downtime, or side effects.

Receding hairline
Loss of hair across the top of the scalp
Frequent shedding hair
Thinning in the crown area

Male members of my family are balding, will I bald too?

If male members of your family are balding, there is a high probability that you too will experience male hair loss. This is due to the genetic inheritance of hair loss, which can come from either the mother's or father's side of the family but is primarily linked to the X chromosome inherited from the mother.

Is my hair loss due to lack of blood flow to the scalp?

Studies have shown that young men dealing with male pattern baldness had over two and a half times lower scalp blood flow than young men who did not have the condition. It has been proven that increasing blood flow to the scalp can help to stimulate hair follicles and promote hair growth.

How does a poor diet cause hair loss?

Poor diets lacking in essential nutrients can cause hair loss in men as hair follicles require both iron and protein to grow healthy hair. A diet lacking with these nutrients may contribute towards hair loss because the body won’t have what it needs to maintain strong hair growth.
