Hair loss is one of the most common concerns among men in Dubai — and for many, it’s more than just a cosmetic issue. Thinning hair or bald patches can affect confidence and self-esteem, leading men to seek trustworthy, medically guided solutions. At Dr. Rami Hamed Center (DRHC), we understand how personal hair loss can feel, and we’re here to help you understand its causes and explore effective, modern treatment options.

Understanding Male Hair Loss

Male hair loss, also known as androgenetic alopecia, is primarily caused by genetics and hormonal factors. It can begin as early as the late 20s or 30s and tends to progress over time if left untreated.

However, genetics isn’t the only reason for hair thinning. Several other factors can also contribute, and identifying the exact cause is the first step toward effective treatment.

Common Causes of Hair Loss in Men

1. Genetics (Male Pattern Baldness)

This is the most common cause of hair loss in men. It occurs when hair follicles become sensitive to a hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT), leading to gradual thinning, especially at the crown and temples.

2. Stress and Lifestyle

High levels of stress, poor sleep, smoking, or nutrient-deficient diets can trigger a condition known as telogen effluvium, where hair sheds faster than usual.

3. Medical Conditions

Thyroid disorders, scalp infections, or autoimmune conditions like alopecia areata can cause sudden or patchy hair loss.

4. Medications and Treatments

Certain medications for blood pressure, depression, or cancer may list hair loss as a side effect.

5. Poor Scalp Health

Blocked hair follicles due to dandruff, oil buildup, or inflammation can hinder growth and weaken existing strands.

Modern Hair Loss Treatments for Men at DRHC Dubai

At DRHC Dubai, our dermatology team provides customized hair restoration plans using evidence-based treatments that target the underlying cause — not just the symptom.

1. PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy

PRP treatment uses your own blood plasma, rich in growth factors, to stimulate dormant follicles and promote natural regrowth. It’s non-surgical and has minimal downtime.

2. Medication Management

Clinically approved medications may help slow or reverse hair loss when prescribed and monitored appropriately by a specialist.

3. Laser Hair Therapy

Low-level laser therapy improves blood circulation to the scalp, encouraging thicker, healthier hair.

4. Microneedling with Growth Serums

Microneedling creates tiny channels in the scalp that enhance absorption of growth-stimulating serums, improving hair density.

5. Hair Transplant Surgery

For advanced cases, hair transplantation offers long-term, natural-looking results by moving healthy follicles to areas of thinning or baldness.

Combining Treatments for Optimal Results

Often, the best outcomes come from a combination approach — for instance, pairing PRP therapy with medication or laser sessions. At DRHC Dubai, each treatment plan is designed around your specific needs, lifestyle, and stage of hair loss to achieve the most natural and sustainable results.

• Schedule regular scalp check-ups for early detection and intervention.
