Not all men are destined to eventually lose hair. But when they do, this is often caused by “male pattern baldness” or more scientifically known as androgenetic alopecia.
What is Male Pattern Baldness?
Male pattern baldness or androgenetic alopecia is the cause of 95% of hair loss in men. While no two cases of androgenetic alopecia are exactly alike, this is typically caused by hereditary genes or an excessive response to the hormone, androgen.
In androgenetic alopecia, the hair follicles gradually shrink thereby resulting in shorter and finer strands until no new hair grows.
This can take many forms with some men experiencing a receding hairline above the forehead, a bald spot on the crown of the head, or a bald area on the entire top of the head.
Why are men concerned about Male Pattern Baldness?
While some men consider male pattern baldness as part of aging, others find this psychologically distressing. To some, thinning hair, bald spots, or a receding hairline result in lack of confidence that prevent them from excelling in their day-to-day lives.
Fortunately, there are plenty of hair restoration treatments for male pattern baldness.

Why should I not rely on Topical Treatments?
While most men start with pills, creams, or vitamins to reduce hair loss, none of these remedies are strong enough for long-term results of stopping hair loss or regrowing the already lost hair. As such, men who opt for these solutions usually end up disappointed. This was experienced by one of the renowned professional basketball players in the Philippines, Alvin Patrimonio, who started with topical treatments but did not see the results he wanted. He only began seeing results after having a Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) performed by the experienced plastic surgeons of MAXIM Philippines.
These remedies are simply supplemental and are usually only excellent for minor hair loss cases or better paired as a strengthener to the more aggressive hair restoration options that MAXIM Philippines offers.
“Right after playing, parang dun na nagstart yung hair loss. I visited Maxim, tinitignan ko yung procedure na actual kong nakita. Sabi ko, kaya ko to. Syempre, I did my own research. Number one (1) ang Maxim here in the Philippines. So, may assurance na maibabalik yung mga nawalang hair.”
