Hair loss treatments for men in Dublin
Explore the effective hair loss treatments for men at our clinic in Dublin, using a non-invasive natural PRP to hair regrowth and treat alopecia.
Common Causes of Hair Loss in Men
Hair loss in men is most commonly caused by genetics, specifically androgenetic alopecia, which leads to male pattern baldness due to the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
Other contributing factors include stress, poor diet, and certain medical conditions, all of which can either trigger temporary hair shedding or worsen existing hair loss.
Inherited condition leading to gradual hair thinning and pattern baldness, primarily influenced by the hormone DHT.
Elevated levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) shrink hair follicles, resulting in thinner hair and eventual hair loss.
Can cause telogen effluvium, a condition where stress pushes hair follicles into a resting phase, leading to temporary shedding.
Lack of essential nutrients, such as vitamins and minerals, weakens hair, making it more prone to falling out.
Certain health issues, like thyroid disorders or autoimmune diseases, can disrupt the hair growth cycle, leading to increased hair loss.
Fortunately, our clinic in Dublin offers a range of natural remedies specifically designed to support and stimulate hair regrowth.
These treatments harness the power of natural ingredients and holistic approaches to encourage healthy hair growth, restore hair density, and improve overall scalp health.
With our expertise, we can tailor these natural solutions to meet your individual needs, helping you achieve noticeable results without the use of harsh chemicals or invasive procedures.

Three Main Types of Hair Loss in Men
Androgenetic Alopecia (Male Pattern Baldness):
- Description: The most common type of hair loss in men, androgenetic alopecia, is characterised by a receding hairline and thinning on the crown. This type is hereditary and influenced by hormones, particularly dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
- Progression: It usually starts with a receding hairline and thinning at the crown, eventually leading to significant hair loss on the top of the scalp.
2. Alopecia Areata:
- Description: An autoimmune condition where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles, leading to patchy hair loss. The exact cause is unknown, but it can be triggered by stress, illness, or other autoimmune disorders.
- Progression: Hair loss often occurs suddenly in small, round patches on the scalp, but it can also affect other body hair, including the beard and eyebrows.
3. Telogen Effluvium:
- Description: A temporary form of hair loss that occurs when a large number of hair follicles enter the resting (telogen) phase simultaneously. This can be triggered by various factors, including stress, illness, surgery, or significant life changes.
- Progression: Hair shedding usually occurs diffusely across the scalp, rather than in specific areas, and can last for several months. Hair usually regrows once the underlying cause is addressed.
These types represent the most common forms of hair loss in men, each with different causes and treatment approaches. Our clinic in Dublin offers natural hair restoration treatment using the PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) technique, ensuring a safe and effective solution.
What is PRP therapy for hair loss?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy for hair loss treatment is a non-surgical procedure that uses the patient’s own blood to promote natural hair growth. The procedure involves drawing a small amount of blood, which is then processed to concentrate the platelets—components of blood rich in growth factors. These concentrated platelets are injected into the scalp, specifically targeting areas of hair thinning or loss.
The growth factors in PRP help to stimulate hair follicles, encouraging new hair growth, improving hair thickness, and increasing the overall health of the scalp. PRP hair restoration is popular because it uses the body’s natural healing mechanisms, is minimally invasive, and has a low risk of side effects, making it a safe and effective option for many individuals experiencing hair loss.

Our Process
Consultation
The patient meets with a medical professional to discuss their goals and determine if PRP therapy is the right option for them.
Blood Draw
A small amount of blood is drawn from the patient's arm and processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma.
Centrifugation
The blood sample is placed in a centrifuge, which separates the platelet-rich plasma from the rest of the blood components.
Preparation
The preparation of PRP for injection involves the addition of activating agents such as calcium chloride or thrombin to enhance the growth factor release and improve its regenerative properties.
Injection
After numbing the targeted area with a local anaesthetic, the PRP is carefully injected to stimulate tissue regeneration and reduce inflammation in the face, scalp, or joints, as needed.
Post-treatment care
The patient is advised to avoid certain activities and take care of the injection site as it heals. Follow-up appointments may be scheduled to assess progress and determine if additional treatments are needed.
