Hello, doctor.
I have noticed a decrease in my hair over the past six months, primarily in the frontal area and the sides of my forehead.
The hair in these areas has started to become sparse.
After researching, I suspect it might be male pattern baldness.
Could you recommend any well-known or effective treatment clinics in Taipei? Thank you for your response.

More Info
If you are experiencing hair thinning, particularly around the forehead and temples, it is indeed possible that you are dealing with male pattern baldness, also known as androgenetic alopecia. This condition is quite common and can affect men at various ages, often starting in their late teens to early twenties. Fortunately, there are several effective treatment options available, and Taipei has a number of reputable clinics specializing in hair loss treatments.
One of the most well-known clinics for treating male pattern baldness in Taipei is the Taipei Medical University Hospital. They offer a comprehensive approach to hair loss, including consultations with dermatologists who specialize in hair disorders. The hospital provides various treatment options such as topical minoxidil, oral finasteride, and even advanced procedures like PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy, which has shown promising results in stimulating hair growth.
Another highly regarded option is the Taipei Veterans General Hospital, which has a dedicated dermatology department. They are known for their research and clinical practices in treating hair loss. The dermatologists here can provide personalized treatment plans based on the severity of your condition and your overall health.
For those interested in surgical options, Dr. Chih-Hsiang Hsu's clinic is well-known for hair transplant procedures. Hair transplants can be an effective long-term solution for male pattern baldness, and Dr. Hsu has a solid reputation for his minimally invasive techniques and successful outcomes.
Additionally, MediSkin Clinic is another option that focuses on aesthetic dermatology, including hair restoration treatments. They offer a range of services from medical treatments to cosmetic procedures, ensuring a holistic approach to hair loss.
When considering treatment, it is essential to consult with a qualified dermatologist who can assess your specific condition and recommend the most appropriate course of action. Treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are often effective for many individuals, but they require consistent use and may take several months to show results. PRP therapy, while more recent, has gained traction for its ability to promote hair growth through the injection of platelets derived from your own blood.
In addition to medical treatments, lifestyle factors can also play a significant role in hair health. A balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals, particularly those known to support hair growth such as biotin, zinc, and vitamins A and D, can be beneficial. Stress management techniques, such as mindfulness and regular exercise, may also help mitigate hair loss.
In summary, Taipei offers a variety of clinics and specialists for treating male pattern baldness. It is advisable to schedule consultations with a few different clinics to discuss your concerns, explore treatment options, and determine the best fit for your needs. Remember, early intervention can often lead to better outcomes, so seeking help sooner rather than later is recommended.
