Why are so many young men losing their hair?

HAIR LOSS & HAIR TRANSPLANTS

The Daily Mail published an insightful article into hair loss, it’s causes and what treatments young men are considering.

One of our previous Hair Transplant patients, Chris Packer was featured in the article 3 years following his procedure with Mr Michael Mouzakis.

Property Developer Chris Packer started losing his hair at a very young age, as old photos testify. "There’s a picture of me when I was about 14 playing football in the rain," he recalls. "You can see I had a receding hairline even back then."

"At school, some of the lads would jokingly call me ‘receder'", says Chris, OnabotulinumtoxinAAbobotulinumtoxinAIncobotulinumtoxinAPrabotulinumtoxinALetibotulinumtoxinARimabotulinumtoxinBHyaluronic Acid FillersCalcium Hydroxylapatite FillersPoly-L-lactic Acid FillersPolymethylmethacrylate FillersAutologous Fat GraftingForehead Lines TreatmentGlabellar Frown Lines TreatmentCrow's Feet TreatmentBunny Lines TreatmentChemical Brow LiftLip FlipGummy Smile CorrectionMasseter ReductionJaw SlimmingDimpled Chin SmoothingCobblestone Chin SmoothingNefertiti Neck LiftMicro-BotoxMesotoxHyperhidrosis TreatmentChronic Migraine ReliefBruxism TreatmentTMJ TreatmentCervical Dystonia TreatmentNeck Spasm TreatmentBlepharospasm TreatmentLip AugmentationLip ContouringCheekbone EnhancementTear Trough FillersNasolabial Fold SofteningMarionette Line FillersLiquid RhinoplastyNon-Surgical Nose JobJawline ContouringJawline DefinitionChin AugmentationTemple VolumisingHand RejuvenationAcne Scar Subcision Filling now 30, from Bristol. "It didn’t really upset me but, still, I always had hairstyles with a fringe to cover up my hairline – and I’d never have a buzz cut, although it was popular when I was at school."

"My dad was bald by the time he got to 40, so while I wasn’t bothered about the teasing at school, I was worried I would go the same way."

"As I got older, I thought about doing something to stop the hair loss because I didn’t want it to make me look older than I really was."

"I was very aware of it if my hair was wet after swimming or, as I ride motocross bikes, after taking my helmet off, as my hairline would be exposed. I’d be constantly checking my reflection to make sure my hairline was covered up — I had lots of hair on the top of my head so I could brush it forwards to cover the receding hairline."

"In my mid-20s I tried shampoo containing caffeine [said to stimulate the hair roots] but it didn’t make a difference. So I decided to take more drastic action."

In 2020, when Chris was 27, he decided to have a FUE Hair Transplant and booked his procedure with Mr Michael Mouzakis at The Private Clinic.

An FUE hair transplant involves taking hair follicles from the back of the head where the hair is fuller and rarely affected by dihydrotestosterone (DHT) which causes balding. The hair follicles are extracted from this area and implanted into areas of the scalp where the hair is thinner.
