If you are suffering from male pattern baldness, then you are certainly not alone. This issue is botheration to a majority of men in India today. In fact, this type of hair loss develops as early as in teens. It is also known as androgenic alopecia, for its imbalances with the hormone androgens (scientific name dihydrotestosterone, DHT).

Two major reasons of male pattern baldness:

1. Hereditary: One of the main reasons of androgenic alopecia is hereditary. It increases the level of androgens present in your follicles. Heredity is the reason for this hormonal imbalance.

2. Genetic: Besides heredity, you may also experience this type of hair loss if you are genetically sensitive to androgenic hormone. They appear as toxins on your follicles leading to hair fall.

Depressed? Well, don’t be!
There have been major breakthroughs in the medical world to combat this type of hair loss in men. It can now be treated easily through some methods depending on an individual’s condition. However, if you are desperately searching for remedies, here are some of the methods of treating male pattern baldness.

Treatment of Androgenic Alopecia in India:

Medicine – Minoxidil

Out of all the medicines available in the market, minoxidil is considered to be quite effective.
Minoxidil is a lotion that has to be rubbed on the bald portions every day. There is no specification on how long you have to continue this treatment. This medicine is available at any pharmacy without being prescribed. But it is effective only when used during the early stages of hair loss.
In fact, minoxidil has been the topic of debate since long. It has some of the side-effects like skin rash, itching, inflammation, acne, swelling and even dizziness, or irregular heartbeat. Again, once you stop using this lotion, your hair loss is likely to resume again. Some people have however seen results.

Method – Hair Transplant

Here is a better option for you! It was only a year back my husband got treated with hair transplantation, and he is presently flaunting his mane proudly.

In case you have tried natural treatment or medicine, all going in vain, the best is to consider hair transplantation for treating male pattern baldness.

What is hair transplant?

A highly effective treatment for male pattern baldness, this is a surgical process where the surgeon takes healthy follicles from donor site to the balding area for re-growing new hair. Interestingly, through this method, hair grows naturally and permanently. Hair always grows at the back of your head. Since transplants are taken from the back, this method has been proven to be highly effective in majority of cases.

Two techniques: FUE and FUT

There are two techniques of men hair transplant.

a. FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation): 

In this method, a small strip of tissue will be removed from behind your head to extract the healthy donor hair follicles. Once harvested by your surgeon, they will be individually planted to the bald area or recipient site.
While this is effective, one disadvantage of FUT is that the patient experiences higher levels of discomfort. This is because the area where strip of tissue has been removed gets swelled which needs some time to recover.
On the contrary, FUE is the widely preferred method eliminating the discomfort caused by FUT.

b. FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction):

Surgeons in India suggest going for FUE hair transplant, which is a more advanced method of men hair transplant. No strip removal or swelling is involved here. The expert team randomly pulls out individual follicular unit from donor site and then transplants to the desired site. Although only a few can be transplanted in a single session, so FUE is a little time-consuming method.
But unlike FUT, no stitches are required here; hence no pain and quick recovery with high-quality results. Hence, this is a better option to get your natural hair back.
