Men of all different ages can experience hair loss, or what is referred to as male-pattern baldness. Typically, hair loss is first noticed by a receding hairline and/or loss of hair at the top or crown of the head. Male pattern-baldness is often a source of frustration and insecurity for those suffering from it. Here’s a look into the causes of male-pattern baldness and what options an individual can explore to correct it.
What Causes Male-Pattern Baldness?
Old wives’ tales might blame baldness on wearing baseball caps too often and some good ole fashioned bad luck, but medically, male-pattern baldness is caused by genetic predisposition and other health issues or medications that may affect the level of male sex hormones in the body. Men experiencing hair loss often show similar symptoms such as the dreaded receding hairline, where the hair begins to form an “M” shape at the edge of the forehead; the hair begins to thin and doesn’t grow as long as it once did.
Is There a Cure for Male-Pattern Baldness?
In extreme cases, medication may be prescribed by a physician that can increase the levels of male sex hormones in the body that can assist in hair regrowth. However, medications are often long-term and can be associated with a slew of side effects. Another option is surgical hair transplant which can be extremely costly, painful, scarring lengthy recovery times. Not to mention, it takes ages for new hair to begin growing.
Another option to correct male-pattern baldness is non-surgical hair replacement. JA Alternatives offers a magnitude of services that can replace lost hair, virtually pain-free at an affordable cost. For men, the EHK hair replacement system was created specifically to correct male-pattern baldness and the growing population of men experiencing it. The process was developed by the Hollywood hair guru, Erwin H. Kunitz, who has worked with top actors to create coveted full, thick and natural-looking heads of hair.
