Hair loss is a common concern that affects many individuals, particularly as they age. From subtle thinning to more pronounced balding, hair loss can significantly impact self-esteem and confidence. Fortunately, various strategies are available to manage and address this issue effectively. If you’re looking for a solution to hair loss, the House of Dermatology offers a range of personalized options to help you regain your confidence.
Causes of Hair Loss
Male hair loss is caused by several factors. Male-pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) is a common hereditary autoimmune condition that leads to hair loss. Other potential causes of hair loss include medications, medical conditions, stress, harsh hair products, cancer, hormonal changes, and aging.
Types of Hair Loss
The most prevalent form is male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia), which typically follows a predictable pattern, beginning with thinning at the temples and crown. Other forms include:
- Alopecia Areata: A condition where the immune system attacks hair follicles, leading to patchy hair loss.
- Telogen Effluvium: Often triggered by stress, illness, or certain medications, this condition causes temporary hair shedding.
- Traction Alopecia: Hair loss caused by repeated tension on the hair, often due to certain hairstyles.

Your Hair Loss Consultation
Male hair loss should be treated as early as possible to get the best results, so patients starting to experience thinning hair are encouraged to come in for a consultation.
During the consultation, patients will meet with Dr. Ravi Patel. Dr. Patel is a trained expert in hair loss and has worked closely with other hair-loss experts for many years. He has also worked on clinical trials for hair loss. This extensive training allows him to provide the answers that patients need.
Dr. Patel will ask patients a few questions regarding their hair loss. He will review the patient’s complete medical history, including their past attempts at hair restoration, pre-existing medical conditions, medications, and allergies. He will also examine the balding areas to evaluate the extent of the hair loss.
This will help determine which hair-restoration option is best for the patient’s desired results. Once the patient and Dr. Patel have settled on an ideal course of treatment, Dr. Patel will go over the details of the treatment plan from start to finish. He highly encourages patients to ask any questions at any time.
Maintaining Hair Health
Once you’ve found a treatment that works for you, maintaining the health of your hair is crucial. Regular check-ups, gentle hair care products, and a healthy lifestyle are key to long-term success. Additionally, awareness of new or recurring symptoms will help address any issues promptly.
