Take Back Your Hair:
Male Pattern Baldness
Hair loss is gradual — but the impact on confidence can be immediate. Our clinical experts in Honolulu specialize in identifying the stage and cause of your hair loss and building a personalized treatment plan to slow progression and stimulate regrowth before more follicles are permanently lost.
What is Male Pattern Baldness?
Male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) is the most common cause of hair loss in men, driven by a genetic sensitivity to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) that gradually shrinks hair follicles until they stop producing hair. In Hawaii, UV exposure, heat, and an active outdoor lifestyle can accelerate scalp stress and worsen the appearance of thinning.
DHT Sensitivity & Follicle Miniaturization
DHT binds to genetically susceptible follicles and shortens the growth cycle over time, causing hair to grow thinner and shorter until the follicle eventually stops producing hair altogether.
Genetic Predisposition
Male pattern baldness is strongly hereditary — if your father or maternal grandfather experienced significant hair loss, your risk is considerably higher, and onset can begin as early as your twenties.
UV Exposure & Scalp Stress
Hawaii’s year-round intense sun accelerates oxidative stress on the scalp, weakening follicles already under DHT pressure and making early intervention especially important for men living in Hawaii.
The staff was pleasant, the wait was short, and the diagnosis and treatment was very straightforward. Dr. Musaev has excellent knowledge and explained things well. The procedure was quick and painless. Clinic location and parking was easy. A great community resource!

Great experience at Hawaii Premier Dermatology! This was my first derm appointment and I am very happy I chose to come here. Justin was very knowledgeable and helpful and I even got something else checked that I didn’t originally plan on getting checked. I’ll be coming here from now on and I highly recommend!

Dr Tagai and his assistants were detailed and quick in my recent visit. They helped me navigate many paths forward for me to choose from based on my skin condition. Thanks!

Justin Maio is #AMAZING. Such a wonderful person with a great personality, and he always puts you at ease–even when it can be scary getting biopsies! I would travel 50 miles anywhere on this island just to see him–and I already go 22! Best office with the nicest and most professional staff. I truly cannot say enough positive things–No joke!
Kathy Coryea
Had a worry about a skin cancer spot and was relieved when Dr. Tagai had a spot for me that week. He had excellent bedside manner and was compassionate when I was a bit of a wimp (okay, a big wimp) with the needle. Highly recommend him.

After two years of wondering and self treating and many healthcare visits to the cheap clinics and constant AI asks, I paid out of pocket less than $400 for 2 visits to find out I have a rare skin condition called Actinic Dermatitis. Thank you Justin, now I know and now I can sleep well at night and understand what is NOT causing this. I really appreciate your expertise!
Tim Swartz

Precision Diagnosis
Effective treatment starts with understanding the stage and pattern of your hair loss. Our Honolulu clinic evaluates your scalp thoroughly to determine what’s driving your thinning and what options will work best for you.
- Hair Loss Pattern Assessment
We evaluate your hair loss using the Norwood Scale to classify the stage and pattern of recession, from early thinning at the temples to advanced vertex loss.
- Scalp & Follicle Health Evaluation
We assess follicle density, miniaturization, and scalp condition using dermoscopy to determine which follicles are still viable and responsive to treatment.
- Hormonal & Lab Screening
Where indicated, we screen for contributing hormonal imbalances, thyroid dysfunction, or nutritional deficiencies that may be accelerating your hair loss.
