Hair Loss Treatment

Hair loss, or male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia), is a common concern affecting millions of men in the UK. While it is a natural part of aging for many, modern medical treatments are highly effective at slowing down hair loss and, in many cases, stimulating new growth.

Understanding Male Pattern Baldness

This type of hair loss is caused by a sensitivity to Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that causes hair follicles to shrink over time until they can no longer produce hair. Treatment focuses on blocking DHT or increasing blood flow to the follicles.

Leading Treatment Options

• Finasteride (Propecia): An oral medication that works by blocking the enzyme that converts testosterone into DHT. It is clinically proven to stop hair loss in 90% of men.
• Minoxidil (Regaine): A topical solution or foam applied to the scalp that increases blood flow to the hair follicles, encouraging regrowth.
• Dutasteride: A more potent DHT blocker, sometimes prescribed when Finasteride is not sufficient.

What to Expect from Treatment

• Patience is Key: It typically takes 3 to 6 months of daily use to see a noticeable difference in hair density.
• Consistency: Treatments must be used continuously to maintain their effects. If you stop, hair loss will likely resume.
• Realistic Goals: While most men experience a halt in hair loss, the degree of regrowth varies between individuals.
