Hair Loss Treatment For Men in Melbourne
Noticing your hairline slowly creeping back or the crown starting to thin can be a confronting experience, especially when it begins earlier than expected. For many men in their 20s and 30s, hair loss is more than just a cosmetic concern – it can raise questions about what’s causing it and what, if anything, can be done.
Male hair loss is common and can be influenced by a combination of genetic, hormonal and lifestyle factors. While it’s natural to feel uncertain or even frustrated by these changes, you’re not alone – and there are proven, medically guided options available.
At Atlantis Medical, we specialise in hair loss treatment for men, offering tailored solutions designed to help you take control of your hair restoration journey. Whether you’re dealing with early signs of thinning or more advanced hair loss, our team provides clear advice and treatment options backed by experience and expertise.
Explore tailored hair loss treatment for men designed to target early signs of thinning and support long-term scalp health.
What Is Male Hair Loss?
Male hair loss, often referred to as male pattern baldness, typically presents as a receding hairline, thinning hair on the crown, or general hair thinning across the scalp. This condition affects a significant number of men and while it is often hereditary, it may also be influenced by lifestyle factors, hormones and stress.
Early intervention can play an important role in managing hair loss, particularly when it comes to preserving existing hair and exploring options for hair restoration.
What Causes Hair Loss in Men?
There are several reasons why hair loss occurs in men. These include:
- Genetics: The most common cause is hereditary hair loss (androgenetic alopecia), which can be passed down from either side of the family.
- Hormonal changes: Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a by-product of testosterone, can shrink hair follicles over time, leading to gradual thinning.
- Ageing: As men age, the natural growth cycle of hair slows and follicles may stop producing hair altogether.
- Stress or illness: Physical or emotional stress, as well as certain medical conditions, can contribute to temporary or prolonged hair shedding.
- Lifestyle factors: Poor nutrition, lack of sleep and smoking may also accelerate hair thinning.
Understanding the root cause of your hair loss is essential to developing the right treatment approach.
Can Hair Loss Be Prevented?
While it may not always be possible to prevent hereditary hair loss, early diagnosis and consistent treatment may help slow down its progression. For some men, adopting a healthier lifestyle and addressing underlying stress can also support better hair health.
Hair Loss Treatment Options for Men
At Atlantis Medical, we offer a range of treatment options for men experiencing hair loss. Every patient receives a personalised treatment plan based on the pattern and stage of their hair thinning, overall health and long-term goals. Treatment options may include the following:
Hair Transplant Surgery
Hair transplant surgery is a well-established method of restoring hair in areas where noticeable thinning or balding has occurred. It involves carefully relocating healthy hair follicles (typically from the back or sides of the scalp) to areas such as the crown or frontal hairline.
This treatment is often recommended for patients with more advanced or stabilised male pattern hair loss and can provide long-term, natural-looking results when performed by an experienced team.
Medical Treatments
There are a number of clinically supported medications available that may help reduce hair loss in men by targeting the hormonal and biological factors involved in hair thinning. These treatments are generally most effective in the early stages of male hair loss and may also assist in slowing its progression. In some cases, medical therapy may be combined with other approaches as part of a comprehensive hair restoration strategy.
Non-Surgical Hair Restoration
For patients exploring early intervention or looking to support ongoing hair retention, non-surgical options may include topical products, scalp treatments, or lifestyle modifications that promote overall scalp health. While these options may not reverse hair loss, they can play a useful role in maintaining existing hair and managing contributing factors such as stress or poor
nutrition.
Each approach is carefully considered by our team to ensure it aligns with your individual needs, preferences and hair restoration goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best hair loss treatment for men?
The best treatment depends on the cause and stage of hair loss. Early hair thinning may respond well to medical therapies, while hair transplant surgery is often recommended for more advanced cases. At Atlantis Medical, we assess your needs and create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your hair restoration goals.
Can hair loss in men be reversed?
Some forms of male hair loss can be managed or slowed, especially when identified early. Treatments may help preserve existing hair or encourage regrowth in certain areas. Where hair loss is more advanced, surgical options such as hair transplantation may provide a more permanent solution.
What causes hair thinning in young men?
Hair thinning in younger men is most often linked to genetics, but other contributing factors include hormonal changes, stress, lifestyle habits and nutrition. Identifying the underlying cause is key to choosing the most appropriate hair loss treatment for long-term management.
What’s the difference between FUE and FUT hair transplants?
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) are two common techniques used in hair transplant surgery. FUE involves extracting individual hair follicles from the donor area, while FUT removes a small strip of tissue to harvest multiple follicles at once. Both methods can be effective, and the right approach depends on your hair type, goals, and medical history.
Is a hair transplant right for me?
A hair transplant may be suitable if you have established hair loss and sufficient donor hair at the back or sides of the scalp. During your consultation, we assess your hair pattern and overall scalp health to determine if this option aligns with your treatment goals.
Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
