Scalp Micropigmentation for Men

There are over 35 million men worldwide that suffer from hair loss and that number continues to rapidly rise. So if you're reading this and you suffer and struggle with it too, remember you are not alone.

Androgenetic Alopecia is a form of
hair loss in both men and women

In men, this condition is more commonly known as male pattern baldness (MPB). Hair is lost at different stages with different distinct patterns, beginning above both temples. Over time as the hair loss worsens and the hairline recedes more, it starts to form the characteristic common “M” shape and continues to recede higher into the next stages and patterns. The hair starts to thin at the crown and often progresses lower to complete baldness forming the deep horseshoe in the back of the head.

Those stages and patterns
of baldness can be seen on
the Norwood Scale showing
the 7 levels of male pattern
baldness.

Androgenetic alopecia or male pattern baldness
accounts for more than 95% of all hair loss in men. By age
35, two-thirds of men will have some degree of hairline
recession from hair loss. By age 50, approximately 85% of
men will have significantly thinning hair.

Causes

People typically lose 50 to 100 hairs every day. This is normal for everyone and it’s usually completely unnoticeable because new hair is also growing in at the same time. Hair loss will occur when new hair does not replace the hair that has fallen out.

Hair loss is usually related to one or more of the following factors:

Family history (heredity).

Androgenic alopecia or male pattern baldness is usually hereditary and handed down from family genetics on both parents sides resulting in the same hair loss.

Hormonal changes and medical conditions

A variety of conditions can cause permanent or temporary hair loss, including hormonal.

High testosterone
High cortisol
High or low thyroid hormone
DHT (dihydrotestosterone) which is a sex hormone that is a derivative of testosterone, but excess amounts of this hormone can affect the hair follicles. DHT interferes with the hair’s growth cycle, shrinking and shortening the hair making it easier for it to fall out and way more difficult for it to grow back.

Medical conditions include alopecia areata, which is immune system related and causes patchy hair loss. Scalp infection such as ringworm, and a hair-pulling disorder called trichotillomania.

Medications and supplements.

Hair loss can be a side effect of certain drugs, such as those used for cancer, arthritis, depression, heart problems, gout and even high blood pressure.

Very stressful events.

Many people experience a general thinning of hair several months after a physical or emotional shock. This type of hair loss is temporary and known as Telogen Effluvium in which the hair shedding phase increases from around 100 daily hairs to 300 daily hairs.

Hairstyles and treatments.

Excessive hairstyling or hairstyles that pull your hair tight, such as a ponytail or cornrows, can cause a type of hair loss called traction alopecia where it puts more stress on the hair follicles and causes the hair to fall out.

Risk Factors

A number of factors can increase your risk of hair loss, including:

A family history of balding on your mother’s or father’s side or both
Aging
Significant weight loss
Diabetes
Stress
High DHT and Cortisol Levels
Poor nutrition and diet
