A receding hairline, beard hair, eyebrows, light hair on the top of the head or even bald spots: around one in every two man in this country suffers from hair loss. This so-called androgenetic alopecia is often genetic. However, various dermatological and internal diseases or drugs can also be the cause.

 

For men who neither resign themselves to it nor want to take medication for hair loss for years, our partner clinic, together with specialist doctors, provides a solution: hair transplantation. It makes your hair look full, but natural again - permanently!

 

We have around 120,000 hairs on our heads, of which we lose 100 to 120 every day. If more fall out, the hair thins and spars or even bald spots develop. Hair loss can have very different causes. As mentioned above, the most common form of hair loss is so-called androgenetic alopecia, the male pattern hair loss. About one in every two man man in western countries is affected by this form of hair loss, but women can also suffer from it.

 

The hormone dihydrotestosterone, which is formed from the male sex hormone testosterone under the influence of a specific enzyme, plays a key role in the development of androgenetic hair loss. It leads to the hair in very specific places, e.g. over the forehead, on the temples or in the crown area, become thinner and thinner and eventually fall out.

 

Fortunately, dihydrotestosterone cannot exert its undesirable effect on all hair follicles: the hair on the back of the head is resistant to the hormone. This also explains why hair that is removed from the back of the head and transplanted onto bald areas only rarely falls out later.
