Hair loss in men: A challenge that you don't have to face alone
Hair loss – a widespread phenomenon
It is a misconception that hair loss is an isolated fate. In fact, around 10 million men in Germany struggle with this problem. The predominant form is androgenetic alopecia, a genetic predisposition that often becomes apparent in the twenties. Initially it manifests itself through the formation of a receding hairline and a receding of the hairline on the top of the head.
Early detection and prophylaxis from the age of 20
A second, more intense episode of hair loss occurs between the ages of 35 and 45, with the hair on the back of the head thinning and a circular bald patch appearing, ultimately leaving only a fringe of hair on the nape of the neck. But androgenetic alopecia does not have to be an inevitable fate. By using specific remedies early on, hair loss can be prevented or at least greatly slowed down. Bald spots can be effectively concealed without having to go completely bald.
Causes and additional risk factors
In addition to genetic predisposition, stress, lack of sleep, nutritional errors or smoking can cause hair loss in men.
Expert advice on pre- and aftercare
Specialist Martin Lappe from the KÖ-HAIR Clinic recommends that his patients take regular medication to strengthen the hair roots and prevent genetic hair lossKÖ-HAIR Hairloading Capsules. To promote hair growth after a hair transplant, he recommendsKÖ-HAIR Circulation Shampoo, whose effectiveness has been clinically proven.
Understanding genetic hair loss
Genetic hair loss occurs due to hypersensitivity to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which leads to a shortened growth phase and eventual death of the hair follicles. Hair loss can be significantly reduced through treatment that lowers DHT levels in the body.
Preventive measures and treatment
If androgenetic alopecia runs in the family, it is advisable to take preventive action. Special shampoos and treatments can also help with existing hair loss and improve hair density.
Not just genetics: Other causes of hair loss
Other causes of hair loss include infections, thyroid problems, nutritional deficiencies, medications and stress. Men also often suffer from circular hair loss, which is probably an autoimmune disease in which the immune system is directed against the hair roots.
