Hair Loss Treatment for Men
Expert solutions by Dr. Yuvika Mittal at SkinEdge Clinic, Patiala. Personalized care using advanced dermatology protocols.
What You Need to Know
Male pattern hair loss, medically known as androgenetic alopecia, affects approximately 60 percent of Indian men by the age of 50. It is driven primarily by genetic sensitivity to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that progressively miniaturizes hair follicles until they can no longer produce visible hair. The condition typically presents as a receding hairline, thinning at the crown, or both, and can begin as early as the late teens or early twenties. At SkinEdge Clinic in Patiala, Dr. Yuvika Mittal provides men with clinically proven, personalized treatment plans that slow progression and restore hair density.
Early intervention is the single most important factor in successful male hair loss treatment. The sooner treatment begins after the first signs of thinning, the more follicles can be preserved and revitalized. Many men delay seeking help due to stigma or the misconception that nothing can be done, resulting in more advanced loss that is harder to treat. Modern dermatology offers a robust toolkit that includes medical therapy, regenerative treatments like PRP and GFC, and advanced topical solutions that can significantly slow or even reverse early to moderate hair loss.
Dr. Yuvika Mittal takes a comprehensive approach to male hair loss at SkinEdge, beginning with a detailed scalp analysis using trichoscopy to assess follicle health, hair density, and miniaturization patterns. Blood tests may be ordered to rule out thyroid dysfunction, nutritional deficiencies, or other contributing factors. Based on the assessment, a multi-modal treatment plan is created that may include oral finasteride or dutasteride, topical minoxidil, PRP injections, GFC therapy, and scalp mesotherapy. This layered strategy addresses hair loss at multiple biological levels for the best possible outcomes.
Common Causes
Genetic predisposition to androgenetic alopecia, the most common cause of male hair loss worldwide
Elevated levels of DHT (dihydrotestosterone) that shrink and weaken hair follicles over time
Chronic stress triggering telogen effluvium, which accelerates shedding beyond normal daily hair loss
Poor diet lacking in protein, iron, zinc, and B-vitamins essential for healthy hair production
Smoking, which reduces blood flow to the scalp and introduces oxidative stress to hair follicles
Certain medications including anabolic steroids, blood pressure drugs, and antidepressants
Scalp conditions such as severe dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, or fungal infections that weaken follicles
Medical conditions including thyroid imbalances and autoimmune disorders

PRP Hair Restoration
Concentrated platelet-rich plasma injections delivered directly to areas of thinning and recession. PRP releases growth factors that stimulate dormant follicles, improve blood supply, and promote thicker, stronger hair growth in men.

An advanced alternative to traditional PRP, GFC delivers a purer concentration of growth factors without inflammatory white blood cells. This results in better follicle stimulation and is gaining rapid popularity among male patients at SkinEdge.
Medical Therapy (Finasteride + Minoxidil)
A clinically proven combination of oral finasteride to block DHT production and topical minoxidil to stimulate follicle activity. Dr. Yuvika Mittal prescribes the appropriate dosage based on age, health status, and degree of hair loss.
