Male Hair Loss

In the UK, over 85% of men will have hair loss at some point in their lives. It is a prevalent condition. Even though it's a common occurrence, it can nevertheless be upsetting to experience. Male pattern baldness is a congenital disorder in which hair loss is inherited and thus inevitable. Hereditary hair loss can be prevented and even reversed in spite of this. Our oral and topical therapies have been clinically proven to inhibit hair loss and encourage hair growth.

What is Male Hair Loss?

Male Hair Loss, also known as male pattern baldness or androgenetic alopecia, is a common condition where men experience thinning hair or bald patches, typically starting at the temples or crown of the head.

How common is it?

It affects around 30% of men by the age of 30, and up to 50% of men by the age of 50. It’s the most common type of hair loss in men and can begin as early as the late teens or early twenties.

What causes it?

Male Hair Loss is primarily caused by a genetic sensitivity to a hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which affects hair follicles and leads to gradual shrinking and thinning. Other contributing factors can include stress, poor nutrition, and certain medical conditions.

What treatment options are offered?

Press Pharmacy offers Finasteride (Propecia) — a once-daily oral tablet that works by lowering DHT levels, helping to slow hair loss and, in many cases, promote regrowth. Treatment is most effective when started early and taken consistently.

What are the side effects of treatment options?

Finasteride is generally well tolerated. Some men may experience reduced libido, erectile dysfunction, or ejaculation issues, though these side effects are uncommon and often resolve with continued use or after stopping treatment. Always refer to the patient information leaflet.
