Hair Thinning & Hair Loss in Men
Thinning hair is a common concern among men, with over 50% experiencing some degree of hair loss by the age of 50. By 70, nearly 80% may develop noticeable bald spots, a receding hairline, or significant thinning.
While hair loss is often linked to genetics, factors such as stress, hormonal changes, and lifestyle choices can also contribute to the condition.
At Hair and Skin Science, we offer advanced, non-surgical treatments that may help address thinning hair and support natural hair regrowth.

Causes of Thinning Hair in Men
Thinning hair in men is often caused by a combination of genetics, hormonal changes, and lifestyle factors. Male pattern baldness, the most common form of hair loss, is hereditary and can be passed down from both the maternal and paternal sides of the family. Hormonal fluctuations, particularly changes in Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) levels, can shrink hair follicles, leading to finer, weaker strands over time.
Other contributing factors include:
- Stress and lifestyle choices: High stress levels, poor diet, and lack of proper hair care can accelerate hair thinning.
- Medical conditions and medications: Certain health issues and medications for hypertension, arthritis, cancer, depression, and heart disease may trigger hair loss.
- Nutritional deficiencies: Low levels of iron, protein, and essential vitamins can weaken hair follicles, contributing to hair thinning.
Recognising the Signs of Hair Thinning
Hair thinning in men typically follows a predictable pattern, starting with a receding hairline at the temples or a bald spot at the crown. Over time, hair may become finer and less pigmented. However, if hair loss occurs suddenly or in small patches, underlying conditions such as autoimmune disorders or infections may be the cause.

Treatments for Hair Thinning in Men
At Hair and Skin Science, we offer advanced, non-surgical treatments that may help address thinning hair and hair loss in men. Our therapies aim to support natural hair regrowth without the need for surgery, chemicals, or long-term medication.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) hair loss therapy is a clinically studied treatment that harnesses the body’s own natural healing properties to support hair regrowth. This non-invasive procedure may help slow down hair thinning and, in some patients, support a reversal of hair loss.
PRP is derived from your own blood, which contains growth factors that play a role in cell regeneration. The process involves drawing a small blood sample, similar to a routine blood test, and separating it to extract the platelet-rich plasma. This concentrated plasma is then injected into areas of thinning hair using a micro-needling technique, which enhances absorption and activates the natural healing response of the scalp.
PRP therapy is a minimally invasive treatment with a low risk of adverse reaction, and may be appropriate for various types of hair loss, including:
- Genetic hair loss (male pattern baldness)
- Hair thinning
- Stress-related hair loss
- Alopecia
The procedure is quick, typically taking less than an hour, and requires minimal downtime for most patients.
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) hair loss treatment is a development of PRP therapy that may offer prolonged benefits for hair regrowth. Like PRP, PRF is extracted from the patient’s blood, but it is processed without anticoagulants. This allows the plasma to form a fibrin scaffold, which may help sustain the release of growth factors over an extended period.
Potential benefits of PRF Hair Loss Treatment:
- Slow and sustained release of growth factors, which may support follicle regeneration over time
- Higher concentration of platelets and white blood cells compared to standard PRP
- May be appropriate for male pattern baldness, stress-related hair loss, and chronic hair thinning
PRF works similarly to PRP, with micro-needling techniques used to inject the fibrin-rich plasma into the scalp. The gradual release of growth factors may continue to nourish hair follicles beyond the initial treatment session.
