Clinical Overview

What is Hair Loss Treatment (Private)?

Male androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness) is the most common cause of progressive hair thinning and hair loss in men, affecting up to 50% of men by age 50. It is driven by genetic sensitivity of hair follicles to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a potent androgen derived from testosterone via the 5-alpha reductase enzyme. Over time, DHT causes miniaturization of hair follicles on the crown and temples, resulting in thinner, shorter hairs and eventual follicular dormancy. Our private hair loss clinic provides clinical assessment and supply of evidence-based medical treatments that stop progression and stimulate regrowth: 1. Oral Finasteride 1mg (Propecia / generic): A selective type II 5-alpha reductase inhibitor that reduces scalp DHT levels by up to 70%, halting hair loss in over 85% of men and stimulating visible regrowth in two-thirds. 2. Topical Minoxidil (5% solution or foam): A vasodilator that enhances microcirculation around follicles, extending the anagen (growth) phase of hair. 3. Combined dual-action therapies for maximum hair preservation.

Eligibility & Suitability

Who is Hair Loss Treatment (Private) for?

  • Eligible: Men aged 18 to 65 with mild to moderate male pattern hair loss (receding hairline, thinning at the crown/vertex).
  • Women (Finasteride is strictly contraindicated in women of childbearing potential due to teratogenic risk to male fetuses)
  • Men under 18 years of age
  • History of prostate cancer, liver disease, or unexplained breast swelling/tenderness.

Preparation

Before Your Appointment

Follow these simple steps before attending the clinic:

  • 1
    Avoid applying heavy hair styling waxes or concealing fibers immediately before your consultation so the scalp and hair density can be inspected.
  • 2
    Bring a list of any supplements or medications you take.
Recovery & Safety Net

After Your Appointment

Clinical advice for ongoing recovery and support:

  • Take Finasteride 1mg once daily with or without food. Apply Minoxidil twice daily to a dry scalp.
  • Patience is essential: It takes 3 to 6 months of continuous daily use to halt hair loss and see initial regrowth, with optimal results seen at 12 to 24 months. If treatment is stopped, hair loss will resume.
  • Side effects: Finasteride is generally well-tolerated; rare side effects include decreased libido, mild erectile changes, or mood changes. Stop medication and consult your pharmacist or GP if you experience mood changes, depression, or breast tenderness.
