Obviously hair loss is unpleasant, for anyone, male or female. We focus on female hair loss because we are confronted with it daily but we also deal with men’s hair loss at Fantasia. We have Hair Replacement Specialist who deal with both male and female hair loss.

With men, typically the hair at the temples begins to recede and the crown area begins to thin. Eventually, a horse shoe pattern around the sides of the head appears.

Moderate to extensive hair loss occurs, particularly on the crown of the head. Along with that, the hairline begins to recede. Approximately 95% of hair loss in men is attributed to androgenic alopecia, also known as male pattern baldness. There are three factors contributing to this condition: the male hormone testosterone; heredity; and age.

With men, there is generally a progression to their hair loss: the hair becomes thinner, does not grow very long and the bald spot at the crown widens.

Finally, the thinning crown and the receding points may meet, forming the horse shoe pattern mentioned above, with hair growing only around the sides of the head.

Men’s hair loss can begin as early as age 20 and becomes more noticable from the ages of 35-40. For some men, they take it in stride. Others are very self-consious and probably need to do something about their hair loss as it affects their quality of life.

There are non-surgical options hair replacement options for men as well as the women. MicroPoint links are popular with both male and female because they allow people to go on living life as normal. Hair Support System is also important to condition the scalp and take care of the hair you have. Integrations are another option popular with the men.
