Hair Kit

There are several causes of hair loss including genetics, hormonal imbalances (such as thyroid issues or changes in androgen levels), stress, nutritional deficiencies, certain medications, and medical conditions like alopecia areata. Male and female pattern baldness, known as androgenetic alopecia, is a common hereditary condition.

Addressing hair loss depends on the root cause. Treatments include minoxidil, finasteride (for men), laser therapy, or even surgical solutions like hair transplants. Consult a healthcare professional for a diagnosis and guidance tailored to your specific needs.

Nourish your hair with nutrient-boosting foods rich in vitamins A, C, D, E, zinc, iron, and omega-3s. You can also use essential oils like rosemary and peppermint, and stop using harsh shampoos and styling products.

Finasteride inhibits 5-alpha-reductase, an enzyme that converts testosterone to DHT. DHT shrinks hair follicles, leading to thinning and loss, particularly in male pattern baldness. This medication prevents DHT production, helping maintain healthy hair growth.

Minoxidil treats hair loss by widening blood vessels and opening potassium channels, which allows more oxygen, blood, and nutrients to the hair follicles. This can help to revive shrunken hair follicles, increase their size, and prolong the growth phase of the hair cycle, leading to thicker, longer, and more visible hair.

Combining finasteride, which prevents DHT, with minoxidil, which invigorates follicles, can significantly improve hair coverage. Consult your doctor to see if this is right for you.

With a personalised hair plan, a clinician will assess your individual needs and recommend a treatment plan that’s safe and effective for you. This tailored strategy is crafted based on the specific characteristics of your hair loss, including its type, severity, and underlying medical or genetic factors. 

Your plan may incorporate a combination of the following:

Pharmacological interventions: This could include medications like finasteride and minoxidil, clinically proven to address certain types of hair loss.

Nutritional supplementation: Certain vitamins and minerals can be incorporated to address potential deficiencies that may contribute to hair loss.

Topical applications: Locally applied solutions and treatments may be included to enhance scalp health and stimulate hair growth.

Lifestyle modifications: Dietary adjustments, stress management techniques, and sleep hygiene guidance may be recommended to optimise overall health and promote hair growth.

The two hair treatments combat hair loss in different ways. Finasteride prevents the conversion of testosterone to DHT - the root cause of male pattern hair loss. Minoxidil works by encouraging nutrient-rich blood to the hair follicles, stimulating growth.

As the treatments target two different key areas of hair growth, the combination of the two is a highly effective and safe method for combating hair loss.
