Androgenetic Alopecia
Genetic hair loss in men is common. You can recognize it by;
- Hair loss and thinning hair at the crown
- Hair loss and thinning hair at the temples
- Receding hairline
Discover the most common form of hair loss in men between the ages of 20 and 40: Genetic hair loss (Androgenetic Alopecia). This type is caused by genetics and sensitivity to the male hormone DHT. Research indicates that men experiencing this hair loss have an increased DHT level, accelerated by factors such as nutritional deficiencies, lifestyle, and stress.
Protect your hair follicles from DHT and promote growth with a treatment that extends the growth phase, resulting in fuller and thicker hair. Explore the 3 stages of Androgenetic Alopecia - Initial, Moderate, and Advanced hair loss. Suspecting you may be dealing with this? Learn more about our treatment for androgenetic alopecia.
Moderate hair loss
Moderate hair loss is recognizable by;
- Hair loss is (almost) not visible
- Hair growth weakens at the temples/crown.
- More hair loss while combing.
In the early stages of hair loss, the thinning of the hair is only noticeable with careful inspection. It becomes noticeable only when more than half of the hair is lost. Hair at the temples and/or crown grows less robustly and long. Improved hair growth, healthier hair, and/or prevention of hair loss are desired.

Thinning hair
Thinning hair is recognizable by;

It's important not to let hair loss progress undisturbed. Preventing hair loss is better than trying to regrow dead hair follicles.

Advanced hair loss
Advanced hair loss is recognizable by;
- Hair loss is clearly visible.
- Hair loss has been ongoing for a while and there is a visible pattern of hair loss.
The hair loss has developed gradually and requires a potent treatment to stop. Restoration of hair growth is possible, but it's important to realize that in areas almost devoid of hair where only thin strands are growing, it can be challenging to fully regrow them.
