Understanding Male Hair Loss: The Role of Androgenetic Alopecia

Approximately 95% of hair loss in men is due to a hereditary condition known as androgenetic alopecia, commonly referred to as male pattern baldness. This form of hair loss is driven by a genetic sensitivity to a hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is produced when an enzyme, 5-alpha reductase, converts testosterone into its more potent form. Over time, DHT binds to hair follicle receptors and disrupts the natural growth cycle, leading to the gradual miniaturization of hair follicles. This results in thinner, shorter, and less pigmented hairs—and eventually, the follicles may stop producing hair altogether.

While genetics play the primary role, several external and lifestyle factors can accelerate or worsen the process. These include:

  • Poor nutrition

  • Excessive sebum (oil) production on the scalp

  • Chronic stress

  • Certain medications

  • Underlying medical conditions

  • Frequent use of harsh styling products

The good news? Early intervention makes a difference. By combining preventative strategies, such as trichological treatments, with a scalp-focused hair care routine, it is possible to slow the progression of hair loss and even promote healthier, denser hair.

Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT): Advanced Technology for Thicker, Healthier Hair

Laser Therapy for Men: A Clinically Proven Solution to Combat Thinning Hair

Hair thinning and early-stage hair loss affect a growing number of men — often starting as early as their twenties or thirties. Clinical-grade laser therapy offers a non-invasive, drug-free approach to slow down, stabilize, and in many cases, reverse the progression of male hair loss.

Using low-level, medical-grade laser light, these devices stimulate blood flow in the scalp, increasing oxygen and nutrient delivery to the hair follicles. This boost in cellular activity helps revitalize weakened follicles, supporting the regrowth of thicker, stronger, and healthier hair.

Why Men Are Turning to Laser Therapy:

  • Clinically proven to treat male-pattern hair thinning

  • Non-invasive and drug-free — no prescriptions, no harsh side effects

  • Easy and efficient — just 6 minutes a day from the comfort of home

  • Safe for daily use with no known side effects

Whether you’re just starting to notice thinning at the crown or receding at the hairline, laser therapy is most effective when started early. Combined with Capilia’s professional trichological products and in-salon scalp care, this technology becomes a powerful tool in your fight against hair loss.

Act early. Treat confidently. Keep your hair longer — naturally.
