Hair Loss Treatment Male Pattern Baldness Expert Telehealth Consultation

Before we get into treatment, let’s get the basics down. Hair loss isn’t just one thing — it’s a term that covers many aspects of hair loss in women and types of hair loss in men and causes:

• Male pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia): The most common in men, also known as hereditary hair loss or male pattern baldness, is caused by the effect of the hormone androgen on the hair follicle, leading to slow or reduced hair growth and eventual permanent hair loss.
• Female pattern hair loss: Similar to men’s but usually less patchy and more overall thinning.
• Postpartum hair loss treatment: Hair shedding after pregnancy due to hormonal changes.
• Temporary hair loss: May occur due to various factors, including stress, illness, medications or nutritional deficiencies.
• Other causes: Autoimmune diseases like alopecia areata, scalp infections or damaged hair can be a common cause of hair loss, which we aim to prevent from harsh treatments.

Knowing what causes male pattern hair loss and other forms is key to choosing the right treatment for hair loss.

The signs of male pattern baldness usually show as

• Gradual thinning on top of the head and temples
• A receding hairline
• A horseshoe pattern of hair around the sides and back

These male pattern baldness symptoms happen because the hair follicle shrinks over time, leading to less hair growth and eventually no hair in those spots. So how do you stop hair loss? Best to catch it early. Treatment options can slow down or stop hair loss and even promote new hair growth.

Prime Medic offers a full range of hair loss treatment options, tailored to you after a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Hair Loss Medication

We often prescribe evidence-backed medications like

• Foam or Serum: A topical treatment that stimulates hair growth and increases hair density.
• Oral medications that block hormones causing male pattern hair loss.

Sometimes used for female pattern hair loss as an antiandrogen.

These treatments help to reduce hair loss and encourage hair regrowth but require ongoing use for best results. Our doctors will guide you through the right medication for your individual needs.

2. Hair Growth Serums & Supplements

Alongside prescription meds, we can recommend safe hair growth serum products and Dietary supplements (rich in essential nutrients can help you experience hair growth) containing ingredients like biotin, iron and vitamins that support healthy hair and scalp.

3. Hair Transplantation & Surgery

For those with advanced hair thinning or pattern baldness, hair transplant surgery or hair transplantation may be an option. This involves moving healthy hair from the back of the scalp to thinning areas to help prevent further hair loss. Our TeleHealth doctors can assess your suitability and refer you to trusted clinics.

Proper hair care plays a big role in preventing further hair damage and hair loss. We will guide you on:
