Male Hair Loss New
Androgenetic alopecia (male pattern hair loss) is the most common type of hair loss in men. The condition is characterized by the progressive loss of terminal hairs on the scalp in a characteristic distribution. The anterior scalp, mid scalp, temporal scalp, and vertex of the scalp are typical sites of involvement.
Androgenetic alopecia is considered an androgen-dependent trait that requires a genetic predisposition. The interaction of these factors and other mechanisms that remain to be elucidated contributes to follicular miniaturization (the transition of larger, terminal hair fibers to small vellus hair fibers) in susceptible scalp areas.
Medications

- Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) | Acell MatriStemPRP has been clinically proven to increase hair growth and slow down hair loss resulting in thicker and fuller
hair. PRP can restore your hair by attacking the very cause of hair loss or thinning. PRP involves the injection of
own plasma and platelets (cells crucial for rapid wound healing after trauma), isolated from the peripheral
blood into the scalp. Injected platelets have the ability to produce growth factors, cytokines and other
chemical mediators that stimulate and reactivate the dormant hair follicles, initiate the skin regeneration
process and stimulate skin remodeling and collagen synthesis. Since own platelets are injected, the PRP
treatment is both natural and hypoallergenic.The Acell MatriStem is a synthetic product loaded with factors promoting tissue growth. By injecting these
into the scalp, the part of the scalp that feeds the blood to the hair (dermal papilla) is stimulated.PRP can be performed with or without Acell MatriStem.
