Male Pattern Hair Loss (Androgenetic Alopecia)

Male Pattern Hair Loss (MPHL), also known as androgenetic alopecia, is the most common cause of hair thinning in men. It typically presents as receding hairline, temple thinning, and crown baldness. At RAY-Clinic, a structured, dermatologist-guided approach is used to slow hair fall, stimulate new growth, and preserve long-term density.

What Is Male Pattern Hair Loss?

MPHL is a genetically influenced condition where hair follicles gradually shrink under the effect of DHT (dihydrotestosterone). This leads to:

  • Thinner, weaker hair
  • Shorter growth cycles
  • Reduced density
  • Progressive miniaturization of follicles

Without treatment, the condition advances gradually and permanently.

Symptoms & Patterns

Receding Hairline

Frontal hairline recession

Temple Thinning

Hair loss over temples

Crown Baldness

Density Loss

Miniaturized Hair

Classification is usually based on the Norwood–Hamilton Scale.

Diagnosis at RAY-Clinic

Evaluation includes:

  • Detailed history and scalp examination
  • Dermatoscopy/trichoscopy to assess follicular miniaturization
  • Hormonal or blood tests (only if required)
  • Identifying contributing factors like stress, dandruff, nutritional deficiencies, etc.

Treatment Options

Male pattern hair loss requires a combination approach for best results. At RAY-Clinic, treatment plans are customized based on stage and severity.

1. Medications

  • Minoxidil (topical/oral) to stimulate growth
  • Finasteride / Dutasteride (oral/topical) to reduce DHT activity
  • Nutritional supplements for hair strength

These help slow progression and improve density.

2. PRP / GFC Therapy

Platelet-rich plasma or Growth Factor Concentrate injections stimulate:

  • Follicle repair
  • Increased blood flow
  • Stronger, thicker hair
  • Reduced shedding

Sessions are done once a month for 3–6 months.

3. Exosome Therapy

Advanced regenerative treatment using bioactive exosomes to:

  • Boost follicle activity
  • Support new hair growth
  • Improve thickness and density

Useful in early to moderate stages.

4. Mesotherapy

Microinjections of vitamins, peptides, and growth boosters help:

  • Nourish the follicle
  • Reduce hair fall
  • Improve scalp health

5. Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)

Enhances:

  • Cellular energy
  • Follicle activity
  • Hair density over time

6. Hair Transplant

For advanced stages (Norwood 4–7), transplantation offers:

  • Permanent, natural hair restoration
  • High density in bald areas
  • Improved hairline design

Methods include FUE with natural hairline artistry at RAY-Clinic.
