We do know that, in some instances, hair loss can be related to illness, like cancer. Other times, it could be connected to stress or a vitamin deficiency. And that extra hair on a man’s brush might just be a genetic reminder that their father and grandfather also went bald.

Is Testosterone the Culprit?

There has been a long-held rumor testosterone could be the culprit for male pattern baldness. Some believe low testosterone, or “low T,” might be partially to blame. There’s also the DHT hormone, or dihydrotestosterone, which is the hormone that helps develop male characteristics like body hair, facial hair, and sex organs. Medical experts have found that high levels of DHT can contribute to thinning hair follicles by binding to the hair follicle and shrinking it. This might explain the “how” some men go bald, but scientists are still discovering the “why.”

The SVHI clinic provides several modern treatments to thicken and restore hair, such as robotic hair transplant surgery, HTX 360 Experience, and new FUE (follicular unit extraction) technology. There is still much to discover, and Dr. Canales and his clinic team are eager to research new innovations to hair loss and bring them to the public.

He has supported and trained other physicians to use the ARTAS hair transplant robot. These trainings have been conducted on several continents, including Asia, Europe, Latin America, and the United States.
