If a receding hairline, thinning hair or noticeable bald patches have you spending your days hiding under a baseball cap, you’re not alone. Known medically as androgenic alopecia, male pattern baldness (MPB) is responsible for a whopping 95 percent of hair loss in the male population, according to the American Hair Loss Association. Up to two-thirds of American men will experience some degree of appreciable hair loss by the age of 35, and if that isn’t a wake-up call, by the age of 50, up to 85 percent of American men will endure substantial hair thinning.
While there are different reasons for substantial hair loss in men, such as diseases, stress, medications, diet and other lifestyle choices, the main culprit for male pattern baldness is genetics. Scientists believe that carriers of the MPB gene have hair follicles that are more sensitive to a hormone called DHT, which gradually shrinks the hair follicle and prevents further hair growth over time.
A general rule of thumb for hair loss is that the sooner it starts, the greater the loss will be. Fortunately, Sadick Dermatology is one of the top clinics in New York for male hair restoration treatments. We offer a myriad of advanced procedures that are safe, effective and uniquely tailored to your individual needs. Our expert staff will work directly with you to determine the root cause of your hair loss through your medical history and thorough health analysis. From these findings, we can design a custom, comprehensive approach to help you restore the natural hair growth of your youth. Dr. Sadick recently spoke at the International Master Course on Aging Science (IMCAS) about the innovations in hair restoration.

Our Hair Loss Treatments For Men
Nutritional Supplements
We believe in taking an external and internal approach to women’s hair restoration, so we recommend nutritional supplements to many of our patients.
These supplements are loaded with hair-healthy vitamins and minerals offer support for your follicles to grow healthier, stronger, fuller hair. Plus, they have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties which can help to reverse some forms of hair loss.

Low Level Light Therapy
Low-level light therapy, also known as LLLT, is another clinically proven and minimally-invasive approach to stimulating hair growth and preventing hair loss. Red or near-infrared laser light has been utilized in the medical community for decades to promote tissue repair and encourage cellular activity.
At Sadick Dermatology, we deliver soft red light to penetrate the hair follicles on your scalp through a device called Omnilux. The light energy stimulates hair growth by increasing blood flow to the scalp and shifting dormant follicles into the active phase of hair growth, or the anagen phase. LLLT painlessly stops the progression of further hair loss and promotes thick, healthy new hair growth on your scalp.
Platelet Rich Plasma
PRP is an injectable treatment that uses plasma from your own blood to promote growth and healing. Hair restoration is just one of the many uses for this amazing treatment.
During PRP, we draw a small amount of blood, then use a centrifuge to separate the plasma from the rest of the blood material. The plasma is then injected directly into the scalp. Don’t worry, we numb the area first!
After several weeks, new hair begins to grow at the injection sites as the plasma’s growth factors stimulate the hair follicles to grow new hair. We recommend repeating PRP treatments every three to six months for optimal results.

FUE Hair Transplantation
Similar to FUE hair transplants, follicular unit transplantation, otherwise known as FUT, is considered the traditional method of hair transplantation. It differs from the FUE method in that instead of individually harvesting hair follicles from the back of your head, a small strip of tissue is removed from the donor site. Dr. Sadick will then extract the individual hair follicles from this strip and use a grafting technique to transfer these follicles into bald areas of your head.
Custom Topical Solutions & Prescription Medications
You’ve probably heard of at least a few topical products and medications on the market for hair loss. Minoxidil, known by the brand name Rogaine, is a widely popular over-the-counter medication for treating hair loss in men. While this product has proven effective in treating male pattern baldness in some patients, the one-size-fits-all dosage may not provide optimal results for everyone. At Sadick Dermatology, we compound our topical products for maximum efficacy and potency to reveal your best results. Using these treatments in conjunction with other hair restoration treatments like hair transplants or PRP is a great way to supplement your results long-term.
