Thinning or balding hair can decrease your overall self-confidence and greatly impact your social and professional life. While there are a number of hair restoration treatments available for men and women, it is important to understand the underlying causes of hair loss in each sex. Continue reading to learn more about the most common causes of male hair loss.
Genetics
A number of men are genetically predisposed to hair loss. Male pattern baldness, also known as androgenetic alopecia, is the most common cause of hair loss in men and usually manifests itself with thinning along the crown or recession of the hairline. Male pattern baldness is caused by an inherited genetic sensitivity to DHT or dihydrotestosterone, a male sex hormone that causes the hair follicles to shrink, resulting in a shorter follicle lifespan and abnormal hair production.
Alopecia Areata
Male hair loss may also be caused by an autoimmune skin disease known as alopecia areata. This type of alopecia causes hair loss along the scalp and typically starts with one or more small round patches until it eventually progresses to total hair loss.
Medical Conditions
Some men may experience hair loss due to a number of medical conditions such as thyroid disease, iron deficiency anemia, and scalp infections. Taking certain medications may also increase the risk of hair loss, including medications taken for arthritis, depression, high blood pressure, heart conditions, and cancer.
Hormonal Changes
While women often experience hair loss during pregnancy or menopause due to hormone changes, some men may experience hair loss due to a decrease in testosterone in what is known as andropause, or female menopause.

While some hair loss may be caused by medical conditions or taking certain medications, the leading cause of hair loss in men is linked to genetics. This video takes a closer look at genetic hair loss in men.
Male pattern baldness is polygenic, meaning that it comes from both the mother and father’s genes. Men whose mothers carry a gene known as the autosomal antigen receptor gene are considered a high risk variant and may be at a 70 percent risk for going bald. You can learn how your hair loss specialist can test for this antigen receptor by watching the full clip.

It’s no surprise that more individuals are turning to hair restoration treatments since hair loss is a common problem among both men and women alike. In fact, studies by the American Hair Loss Association show that approximately two-thirds of all men will experience some degree of hair loss by age 35, with women accounting for approximately 40% of hair loss sufferers. Fortunately, a number of hair replacement clinics offer Revivogen Scalp Therapy to help combat excessive hair loss.

What is Revivogen Scalp Therapy?
Revivogen Scalp Therapy is a topical treatment that uses powerful ingredients to safely revitalize your natural hair and combat excessive hair loss. In addition to reducing hair loss for 88% of individuals, Revivogen Scalp Therapy has been shown to:
· Provide stronger, fuller, thicker hair
· Reduce the production of DHT
· Inhibit type I and II 5AR enzymes
· Block androgen receptors
· Activate hair follicle growth
The two main products in the Revivogen Scalp Therapy Formula include the Bio-Cleansing Shampoo and the Thickening Conditioner. The shampoo gently works to cleanse your scalp, remove Sebum and DHT, and control scalp irritation. The Bio-Cleansing Shampoo also provides bioactive nutrients to the scalp to promote a healthier environment to support the growth of new hair follicles. The Thickening Conditioner is used in conjunction with the shampoo and works to replenish moisture, strengthen the hair shaft, and add volume to thinning hair.
Most patients see a significant decrease in hair loss within the first six to eight weeks after starting treatment—with fuller, denser hair appearing within six to twelve months of continued use. The maximum results typically occur after 12 to 18 months of use, after which point you may be able to minimize the number of times each product is utilized per week.
The best way to determine whether the Revivogen Scalp Therapy formula is right for you is to consult with your hair loss specialist. Let the Hair Restoration of California educate you on your hair replacement options by calling (310) 477-2320. We also offer laser hair growth, virtual reality hair, and hair extensions.
