5 things even your Dad didn't know about male pattern baldness

Losing hair? You are not the only one. In Dubai, over 58% of men aged 25 - 40* are already facing early signs of male pattern baldness. The reasons? Hot climate, desalinated water, stress, and DHT hormone imbalance.

But here’s the truth: You don’t have to go bald. Early diagnosis and the right treatment for male pattern baldness can make all the difference. In this blog, we will bust common myths and share the real male pattern baldness facts, plus how Dr Batra’s^® can help you take control before it’s too late.

What is Male Pattern Baldness & Why Does It Happen?

Male pattern baldness, or androgenetic alopecia, is a hereditary and hormonal condition where hair follicles gradually shrink. This leads to shorter, thinner strands and, eventually, major hair loss if left untreated. The main trigger is a hormone called DHT (Dihydrotestosterone), which disrupts the natural growth cycle and causes permanent follicle damage over time.

Did you know? You could lose up to 50% of your hair before you even notice. That’s why early diagnosis is the real game changer.

Early Signs & Symptoms of Male Pattern Baldness

• Receding hairline forming an “M” shape
• Thinning at the crown or temples
• Excessive hair fall during brushing or washing
• Visible scalp and reduced hair volume
• Patchy bald spots

10 Must-Know Male Pattern Baldness Facts

1. It’s hereditary: Genetics play a major role, especially if it runs in your family.
2. Can start in your 20s or early: Some teens as young as 18 start noticing hair thinning.
3. Progresses silently: Many don’t notice until 50% of hair is lost.
4. More common than you think: Up to 65% of men in the Middle East experience it by age 40.
5. Triggers emotional impact: Hair loss is often linked to low confidence, social withdrawal, and anxiety.
6. Worsens with climate stress: UAE’s heat and hard water are known contributors to scalp dehydration and hair damage.
7. DHT is the main villain: This hormone shrinks follicles, reducing regrowth potential.
8. Nutrient deficiency matters: Iron, zinc, and biotin play vital roles in hair health.
9. It doesn’t stop on its own: Without active intervention, hair loss continues over time.
10. Early treatment works best: Most regrowth happens when hair roots are still alive, even if dormant.

What Causes Male Pattern Baldness?

• Genetics: Family history plays a major role
• Hormonal Changes (DHT): Shortens the hair growth cycle
• Age: Hair weakens with age
• Stress: Can disrupt hair growth patterns
• Nutritional Deficiencies: Poor diet affects scalp health
• Underlying Conditions: Thyroid imbalance or chronic illnesses

• XOGEN^®
• STMcell^® Therapy
• GroHair^®

These treatments reactivate weak hair roots and encourage healthy hair growth, gently and naturally, without any pain, surgery, or side effects.
