Male Pattern Baldness Treatments. What Works?

In the past decade, medicine has made tremendous strides in the treatment of men’s hair loss. With the advent of 5-alpha-reductace inhibitors such as The Hair Centre’s Vitastim and Biostim range the evolution contiunes, living with noticeable hair loss is no longer inevitable. For the first time in the history it is now possible to stop or slow the progression of hair loss and to replace lost hair through treatments with completely natural results.

However, with that said, the vast majority of hair loss treatments being marketed today are still nothing but “snake oils.”

You may have seen the ads in the back of men’s magazines, you’ve heard the commercials on the radio, and you’ve seen the infomercials promoting miracle treatments for hair loss. The bottom line is that most advertised “treatments” do not work for the prevention and treatment of hair loss. If a hair loss treatment is not approved by a Westminster Trichologist, chances are you are wasting your time and money.

Remember that successful treatment of hair loss is greatly dependent on early intervention. It is critical to begin treatment with an effective product as soon as you notice the onset of hair loss.

The following two treatments Vitastim and Biostim [ Results shown above] have been clinically proven to successfully treat hair loss in men to varying degrees.

In order to treat hair loss effectively we would recommend that you have a diagnosis made as soon as possible by one of our experienced Westminster Trichologists. Stress can be an aggravator in almost all cases of hair loss and an accurate diagnosis will always, at the very least, take some of the stress away from you.

Gary Heron says: “You’ll have access to the most effective treatments available through The Hair Centre and at a fraction of the cost of going to other Private Commercial Clinics and Centres.”

When it’s time to see the Trichologist: If you begin losing hair rapidly, and or are cosmetically concerned about baldness, consult your Trichologist about treatment options. You can receive a free hair loss consultation with a Westminster Trichologist at our Hair Centre.

The point is that you are not getting to the real problem and you should seek specific professional advice from a Westminster Trichologist.

SEVERE MALE PATTERN HAIR LOSS: WHAT RESULTS CAN I EXPECT FROM TREATMENT [ TREATMENT PHOTOS SHOWING EARLY RESULTS AFTER 3 MONTHS TREATMENT ]

MALE PATTERN HAIR LOSS or BALDNESS is characterized by hair receding from the lateral sides of the forehead, known as “receding hairline”. Receding hairlines are usually seen in males above the ages of 20 but can be seen as early as late teens as well.

An additional bald patch may develop on top [ vertex ]. The trigger for this type of baldness [ called androgenetic alopecia ] is DHT, a powerful sex hormone, body, and facial hair growth promoter that can adversely affect the prostate as well as the hair located on the head.

The mechanism by which DHT accomplishes this is not yet fully understood. In genetically prone scalps, DHT initiates a process of follicular miniaturization. Through the process of follicular miniaturization, hair shaft width is progressively decreased until scalp hair resembles fragile vellus hair or “peach fluff” or else becomes non-existent. Onset of hair loss sometimes begins as early as end of puberty, and is mostly genetically determined. Male pattern baldness is classified on the Hamilton-Norwood scale I-VII. [ As shown below ].

It was previously believed that baldness was inherited from the maternal grandfather. While there is some basis for this belief, both parents contribute to their offspring’s likelihood of hair loss. Most likely, inheritance is technically “autosomal dominant with mixed penetrance”.

Hair-loss treatments for balding blokes

Has Jude Law’s coiffure been airbrushed in this Chanel ad?

Christian Dior’s recent campaign for its new Homme Sport range, which stars 35-year-old actor Jude Law, is attracting the wrong kind of attention.

The follically challenged actor appears to have a thicker, longer hairline, prompting rumours that his pictures have been airbrushed.

But balding is serious business. Research shows male pattern baldness can cause as much anguish as eczema and that it makes men feel less attractive.

Women also suffer from thinning hair and both genders are at risk of alopecia – sudden, unexpected hair loss, the cause of which is still unknown. However, there are treatments that are said to help all types of balding. Here are a few.

Cloning Technique

British company Intercytex has caused lots of excitement with a procedure that should be ready in five years.

The company is working on a technique that takes a tiny sample of skin from the back or side of the head which is then grown in a lab.

The dermal papilla cells at the bottom of the hair follicle trigger the growth of new cells, which are then injected back into the scalp. It is an expensive procedure and could cost up to £10,000.

In order to treat hair loss effectively we would recommend that you have a diagnosis made as soon as possible by one of our experienced trichologists. Stress can be an aggravator in almost all cases of hair loss and an accurate diagnosis will always, at the very least, take some of the stress away from you.
