Hair loss in men is far more common than often acknowledged — and it doesn’t just affect appearance. For many, thinning hair or receding hairlines can impact confidence, daily interactions, and overall self-image. At Tara Healthcare, Bangalore’s leading hospital for plastic surgery and dermatology, we approach male hair loss not as a cosmetic concern, but as a medical condition with real, evidence-based solutions.
Whether you’re just beginning to notice hair thinning or are dealing with more advanced balding, early evaluation and tailored treatment can make a significant difference.
When Does Male Hair Loss Typically Begin?
For many men, hair loss can start as early as their late 20s, and by the age of 50, nearly 50% of men experience some degree of androgenetic alopecia (commonly known as male pattern baldness). Genetics, stress, lifestyle, nutrition, hormonal imbalances, and underlying medical conditions can all play a role.
Early signs to watch for include:
- Receding hairline
- Thinning at the crown
- Increased hair shedding in the shower or on the pillow
- Widening part or scalp visibility
The key is early intervention. Seeking expert guidance at the onset of symptoms can help you explore non-surgical treatments before more invasive options like transplants are considered.
Expert Hair Loss Treatments at Tara Healthcare, Bangalore
At Tara Healthcare, our dermatology and plastic surgery team evaluates scalp health, hair density, and hair fall triggers before recommending a treatment path. Every plan is personalized based on age, stage of balding, and underlying factors.
1. PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy
What it is: A non-surgical treatment where your own blood is processed to extract platelet-rich plasma, which is then injected into the scalp.
Benefits:
- Stimulates natural hair regrowth
- Improves hair thickness and strength
- Minimal downtime and no medication required
- Suitable for early-stage balding or thinning
PRP is often chosen by men who want a natural, regenerative approach to tackling hair loss.
2. GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate) Therapy
What it is: A newer, more concentrated evolution of PRP. GFC isolates specific growth factors from the patient’s blood using a specialized process for more targeted results.
Benefits:
- More potent than traditional PRP
- Effective for moderate-to-severe hair thinning
- Fewer sessions needed compared to PRP
- Scientifically advanced and dermatologically safe
GFC is especially beneficial for those who’ve tried PRP with limited success or want faster, stronger results without surgery.
3. Medical Therapy (FDA-Approved Topicals & Oral Options)
For early-stage or genetically inherited hair loss, medications are recommended to slow down shedding and maintain existing hair. At Tara Healthcare, our dermatologists provide prescription-based, monitored care to ensure optimal results with minimal side effects.
4. Hair Transplant: When and Why It’s Considered
While hair transplantation is one of the most effective long-term solutions for significant balding, it’s not always the first recommendation.
You may be a candidate if:
- You’ve experienced hair loss for over 3–5 years
- Conservative treatments haven’t shown results
- You have stable donor areas at the back of your scalp
Even in such cases, Dr. Karan Shetty, our board-certified plastic surgeon, ensures you explore non-surgical treatments first, understand the pros and cons, and proceed only when medically appropriate.
Why Consult Early for Hair Loss?
- Prevent further damage to hair follicles before it’s irreversible
- Understand the cause — from hormonal to autoimmune or lifestyle-related
- Explore non-invasive solutions while they’re still effective
- Avoid misinformation and over-the-counter products that may worsen the issue
At Tara Healthcare, consultations are not about selling a procedure — they’re about helping you understand your options clearly.
