Hair loss is extremely common in men, but that doesn’t make it any less frustrating. Whether you’ve noticed gradual thinning, a receding hairline, or a growing bald spot at the crown, you don’t have to navigate it alone. At Advanced Dermatology, our board-certified dermatologists specialize in male hair loss treatment, providing medically proven solutions for men throughout the Chicagoland area. Our specialists will evaluate the cause of your hair loss and build a treatment plan tailored specifically to men’s hair patterns, goals, and long-term prevention.

What Causes Hair Loss in Men?

The most common cause of men’s hair loss is androgenetic alopecia, also known as male pattern baldness. This genetic condition leads to:

  • Recession of the hairline at the temples
  • Thinning at the crown
  • Widening part line
  • Progressive hair miniaturization over time

Contrary to popular myth, this condition is not inherited only from the mother’s side and can come from either side of the family. 

Other causes of male hair loss may include stress, illness, medications, nutritional deficiencies, or autoimmune conditions. A dermatologist is the best specialist to determine the cause.

Treatments for Male Hair Loss

Our clinic offers clinically proven, non-surgical treatments designed specifically for men looking to slow, stop, or reverse hair loss.

Finasteride (Propecia®)

A prescription oral medication that reduces the hormone responsible for follicle shrinkage. This treatment can:

  • Slow further hair loss
  • Improve hair density
  • Support regrowth over time

Because finasteride may have side effects, it must be discussed with a dermatologist before starting.

Minoxidil 5%

This topical treatment is FDA-approved and effective for:

  • Increasing hair growth
  • Thickening existing hair
  • Preventing further shedding

It can be used alone or combined with finasteride for enhanced results.

Keralase™ Hair Restoration for Men

Keralase™ is a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment that uses LaseMD® Ultra laser technology plus KeraFactor® serum, a powerful blend of growth factors and peptides. 

Benefits for men include:

  • No needles or injections
  • No downtime
  • Strengthens thinning hair
  • Stimulates new growth
  • Ideal for early- to moderate-stage male hair loss

Lifestyle & Nutritional Support

In cases of stress-related shedding or nutritional imbalance, we may recommend supplements or lifestyle adjustments to support healthy hair cycles. 

How Male Hair Loss Treatments Work

Every male hair loss treatment targets a different part of the hair-growth cycle:

  • Finasteride reduces DHT, a hormone linked to male pattern thinning.
  • Minoxidil increases blood flow and stimulates follicles to extend their growth phase.
  • Keralase™ enhances scalp health and improves follicle activation.

A customized combination approach delivers the best long-term results. 

How Keralase™ Differs From Other Hair Restoration Treatments

Keralase™ differs from other treatments in several ways: 

  • No injections or blood draw, unlike PRP
  • More comfortable than microneedling-based methods
  • Targets early thinning, when intervention is most effective
  • Works for all hair types and skin tones

Most men notice initial improvement in density, shedding, and texture within 6-12 weeks.
