Men Hair Loss

The diagnostic steps involve:

Through these tests, the medical team and the patient himself, get a clear picture of the severity of the problem.

The treatments aim at preventing and reversing further hair loss and also gradually promoting new hair regrowth.

Patients should be informed, that no medication can restore lost hair totally and that the treatments are effective, only when they are systematically done.

• Finasteride
  It is administered orally and is a 5a reductase II inhibitor, reducing serum DHT (dihydrotestosterone) up to 65%. It is indicated for androgenetic alopecia, as it blocks the enzyme and it reduces DHT. Therefore, the hairs continue to stay in the anagen phase, instead of going the telogen phase and thus, they do not undergo miniaturization and eventual loss.
• Dutasteride
  It is administered orally and it inhibits both types of 5a reductase (I and II). It is 3 times, more potent than finasteride, as a 5a reductase II inhibitor and 100 times more potent, as a 5a reductase I inhibitor, reducing DHT up to 90% in blood serum. It acts in the same way as finasteride, but it can block DHT to a greater extent. Both these oral treatments are successful, for as long as, the patient is taking them, as their effect stops, if the patient discontinues.

• Minoxidil
  The use of local application of 5% minoxidil solution has been approved for the treatment of hair loss since 1997. Treating hair loss with minoxidil, works by causing blood vessel dilation and an increase of blood flow to the scalp, thus, prolonging the anagen phase of hair growth. After 3 months of minoxidil treatment, the rate of hair loss is noticeably reduced and also you have some hair regrowth. Younger patients, as well as those, in the early stages of hair thinning, seem to benefit more, of the minoxidil treatment, as opposed to older patients and patients with established thinning, for several years. It is a successful treatment, as long as the patient keeps applying it and when the patient stops, its beneficial action is lost.

Autologous Mesotherapy hair loss treatment is a new, innovative and totally safe treatment, which is very effective in hair loss. It uses the patient’s own blood , rich in blood cells and growth factors. Growth factors are proteins, present in our body, which have the capacity to stimulate certain types of cells, such as multipotent mesenchymal cells, involved in the healing process. By this treatment, the follicle function, in the application area is restored, resulting in new hair regeneration, from previously inactive follicles, which are stimulated after autologous mesotherapy.

This treatment, involves the injection of autologous mesotherapy, at the problematic areas. Apart from its great results for androgenetic alopecia, this treatment can also produce excellent results, in case of alopecia areata and in all kinds of diffuse alopecia. At the same time, autologous mesotherapy works preventively against hair loss (when it is applied before the problem has become severe), strengthening the existing hair.

The treatment is done under local anesthesia. Autologous Mesotherapy method usually requires 4 – 6 sessions, which must be repeated every 4 – 6 weeks, for the first 6 months and after that, once every 6 months, for maintaining the good results. The results are really impressive and totally natural, while there are no side effects, as long as, the procedure is performed by an expert. We have to mention though, that not all mesotherapy treatments are the same. The Autologous Mesotherapy uses specific centrifugation to isolate the very concentrated blood cells, achieving concentration of growth factors, which is 4-6 times greater, than it is possible in other mesotherapy, offering increased regenerative results.

Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is the most modern, medical tattoo technique and is an innovative method, providing a reliable choice to men, who cannot or would not like to undergo hair transplantation. It is a permanent medical tattoo, mimicking hairs, as they look in short – haired scalps.

The SMP technique, is extremely demanding for the doctor, in order to produce a perfect outcome, which looks identical to the natural hair. The doctor must have a high aesthetic perception and an appreciation, of what looks natural and harmonious. The doctor should have manual dexterity and talent, in order to be able to expertly handle the tattooing device, at a specific angle and in a highly skillful way to produce perfect results. The whole process, should be repeated hundreds of times to cover the whole area. The SMP technique, should be performed by physicians, already experienced in hair transplantation, who have been additionally trained to Scalp Micropigmentation.

The pigments used in SMP, are medically tested and selected to match the skin and hair color of each individual. The whole process, is done under local anesthesia and with proper medical sterilization and usually requires 2 – 3 sessions, in order to provide the final result, with 4 – 5 day intervals, for the best absorption of pigments, at each session.

When the technique, is performed by an experienced doctor, it has amazing results and provides solutions to:
