Male patterned baldness
Male pattern baldness (or androgenetic alopecia) is the most common type of hair loss in men, affecting over 50% of men by age 50. Treatment options range from FDA-approved medications, such as minoxidil and finasteride, to advanced therapies including platelet-rich plasma (PRP), exosomes, stem cell treatments, hair transplants, and nutritional support with biotin, zinc, vitamin D, and omega-3 fatty acids.

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) Hair Transplantation
FUE is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat hair loss. In FUE, individual hair follicles are extracted from a donor area (usually the back of the scalp) and transplanted to areas with thinning or no hair.
Steps of the Procedure
- Extraction: Tiny punches (about 0.8–1mm in diameter) are used to remove hair follicles individually
- Transplantation: The follicles are then implanted into small incisions made in the recipient area
- Leaves tiny, nearly invisible scars that heal quickly and discreetly
Because follicles are transplanted one by one, the results look natural, and the recovery time is faster compared to older techniques.
FUE is suitable for individuals seeking a permanent solution to hair loss, with minimal downtime and natural-looking results.
