Noticing your hairline creeping back or thinning at the crown? Male pattern baldness affects over half of men by age 50, often starting in the twenties. While genetics largely determine your hair loss pattern, Jet Plasma therapy may help slow the process and potentially stimulate regrowth by working at the cellular level. Here's what studies show about using Jet Plasma for genetic hair loss, and whether it might work for your situation.
FAQ
Can Jet Plasma help treat men's hair loss?
Studies have found that people with androgenetic alopecia who received Jet Plasma treatment saw measurable improvements in hair density. The treatment works by stimulating blood flow to hair follicles and encouraging cellular activity at the scalp level.
How does Jet plasma work for androgenetic alopecia?
Jet Plasma activates dormant follicles by improving circulation and creating micro-pathways in the scalp that allow growth factors and peptides to penetrate deeper. This enhanced blood flow delivers nutrients to hair roots while the plasma helps reduce scalp inflammation that can worsen hair loss.

Understanding Male Pattern Baldness and Genetics
Male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) is primarily driven by genetics and sensitivity to a hormone called DHT. This hormone binds to receptors in hair follicles, causing them to shrink over time. The follicles produce progressively thinner, shorter hairs until they eventually stop producing visible hair.
The pattern is predictable: it typically starts with a receding hairline at the temples and thinning at the crown. Unlike other types of hair loss that happen suddenly, genetic hair loss is gradual. Some men notice changes as early as their late teens, while others don't see significant thinning until their forties or beyond.
What makes this type of hair loss challenging is that it's ongoing without intervention. However, the follicles often remain alive even after they stop producing visible hair, which is why treatments that stimulate cellular activity may help reactivate growth.
How Jet Plasma Targets Genetic Hair Loss
Jet Plasma works differently than DHT-blocking medications because it addresses the cellular environment around hair follicles. The technology creates a controlled plasma field that can stimulate dormant follicles, even in areas that appear to have no hair growth.
The treatment creates tiny pathways in the scalp that allow growth factors and peptides to penetrate deeper than topical applications alone. It also produces ozone, which helps reduce bacteria and inflammation.
Treatment Expectations for Genetic Hair Loss
Jet Plasma sessions feel like gentle tingling on the scalp. Each treatment takes about 45 minutes, and you can return to normal activities immediately.
Most men need 6-8 initial sessions spaced 2 weeks apart. The goal is to improve existing hair health and stimulate regrowth from dormant follicles, including areas that may appear to have little or no hair growth.
Men with early-stage thinning typically see improvements in hair texture and reduced shedding within the first few treatments. Visible density improvements usually take 3-4 months of consistent sessions. Some men see new hair growth even in areas that have been dormant for years. Maintenance treatments every 2-3 months help preserve and continue building results.
Potential Side Effects and Safety Considerations
Jet Plasma is considered a low-risk treatment with minimal side effects reported in clinical studies. Most people experience only temporary redness on the scalp that fades within an hour or two after treatment (similar to what you might see after a facial).
Some people notice slight scalp sensitivity for a day or two following treatment, but this is typically mild and doesn't interfere with normal activities. Because jet plasma doesn't involve needles or invasive procedures, there's no risk of infection and there is no downtime.
To determine if you're a good candidate for Jet Plasma hair restoration, you can book a consultation with Nurse Jen at OLIS SKIN to discuss your goals.
The Reality of Treating Men's Balding
Genetic hair loss isn't something you treat once. Male pattern baldness is progressive, which means without ongoing intervention, it will continue. Think of it like staying in shape - you can't work out for a few months, reach your goals, then stop and expect to maintain those results.
Jet Plasma can be an effective part of your hair maintenance routine, but it works best as part of a comprehensive approach. This might include DHT blockers (like finasteride), topical treatments (like minoxidil), Low Level Light Therapy (LLLT) nutritional support, and lifestyle factors that support scalp health.
Men's Balding Treatments: Who Benefits Most from Jet Plasma
Jet plasma works across different stages of male pattern baldness, but timing matters. Men who start treatment when they first notice thinning may see better results than those who wait until significant balding has occurred.
If you still have hair but it's gotten thinner and weaker, Jet Plasma can often improve texture and reduce loss effectively. Even areas with minimal hair growth may respond to treatment and can produce new hair growth, though it takes longer and requires more sessions to see meaningful changes.
The best candidates understand the commitment involved and are ready to approach hair loss as an ongoing health concern rather than looking for a quick fix. Whether you're dealing with early recession at the temples or more advanced crown thinning, success depends on consistency with treatments and realistic expectations about outcomes.
