DHI Australia Microsurgery Hair Transplant Specialists

We are a nation addicted to looking good. Gaining muscle at the gym can have a multitude of benefits but there’s potentially a major drawback – could lifting weights be speeding up the hair thinning process? 

Men who actively keep fit and build muscle mass may be inadvertently accelerating their hair loss. In this article we discuss the impact of DHT and how it is linked to gym-goers with a receding mane.

Ever experienced sudden hair loss that starts with circular patches or alternatively, progressive hair loss that starts at the hairline or top of the head? Losing hair can be worrying, stressful and even disturbing for some, and the fact that symptoms can be caused by different conditions adds to the anxiety. Alopecia areata and baldness, often confused, are two common forms of hair loss affecting both men and women. 

In this article, we explain the differences between androgenetic alopecia (baldness) and alopecia areata, what symptoms to look for and the treatment options available. 

The origin of the hair transplant dates back to the 19th century. It was in 1897 that Dr. Menahem Hodara for the first time transplanted hair taken from an area of the scalp to a bald area. Then in the 1930s, modern transplantation techniques emerged in Japan, initially to correct only the eyebrows. More recently, new discoveries have emerged in the field of baldness. It would seem that the famous wasabi, this ultra-hot green paste that accompanies sushi, has components promoting hair regrowth!

Suddenly discovering a bald spot on your scalp can be distressing. Sometimes we imagine the worst. Slowly progressing bald spots can also cause concern. A variety of hormonal and medical conditions can cause both permanent and temporary hair loss. Before you go rushing to the chemist to try the first product you see for hair loss, the first and most important step is to get a correct diagnosis for your bald spot(s) from a hair loss expert. For example, there’s no use applying a hair loss solution to ringworm! 

A private consultation with a hair loss expert will give you a correct diagnosis for what’s causing the bald spots and whether you have permanent or temporary hair loss. You will then have the information you need for the right solution.

If you’ve found yourself wearing a hat as often as you wear pants due to a lack of hair up top, you may be contemplating a solution that will give you the liberty to become hat-free. Forget shaving your head, wearing a wig and those dreadful hair plugs, think DHI microsurgery, where your barber won’t even be able to tell you’ve had a hair transplant or hairline redesign.

For some men, their hair is part of their identity. The process of losing it can be devastating. As a wife or partner, having to witness your loved one suffering the emotional impact of hair loss can be heart wrenching. 

Making a joke about their progressively thinning hair is one of the most common ways that men try to hide their real feelings. If you notice that your husband or partner is emotionally impacted by hair loss, simply talking to them in a supportive way can help to ease the stress and sense of loss that often accompanies the onset of male pattern baldness.

An expanding waist line, wrinkles, thinning hair, grey hair and hair growing out of places it shouldn’t! Getting older throws us curve-balls from all directions. Thankfully, the world of non-surgical cosmetic treatments that are now, more than ever before, tailored to men, gives us a realm of anti-ageing solutions to help keep our true age and our perceived age as far apart as possible. 

We are going to talk about thinning hair, receding hair lines and grey hair and just how much of an ageing effect they have.

Do you sometimes make a joke about your progressing baldness, trying to make it sound as though it doesn’t bother you? Have you made wearing a hat an art form? As a man, finding a way to talk to your wife or partner about how you really feel about losing your hair can be extremely difficult. How do you bring up the subject? How do you explain the impact it’s having on you? What if you’re not taken seriously? Sometimes you may feel like it’s just easier to “grin and bear it”. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Many DHI patients find that once they discuss the impact of hair loss with their partner, they feel less anxious and more positive. We give you a few helpful tips to make broaching the subject with your loved one easier.

Male pattern baldness, also referred to as androgenetic alopecia, is a hair loss condition linked to changing hormone levels where the loss of hair happens in a distinctive pattern, starting with a thinning crown and receding hairline. For a man who’s father or grandfather suffered from male pattern baldness, chances are that the trait will be inherited. 55% of men have noticeable hair loss by the age of 40, however despite its prevalence, many people still have questions about male pattern baldness.

Gathered from over 47 years experience of hair restoration, we have compiled a list of the most frequently asked questions relating to hair loss and male pattern baldness.
