What’s The Difference Between Propecia, Proscar and Biostim?

Propecia and Proscar are two forms of the same medicine, finasteride, but in two different dosages. They both block the conversion of testosterone into its active form, allowing hair growth.

How Does Minoxidil Work and is there an alternative?

Minoxidil (Regaine) is a slightly oily solution that is rubbed into the scalp twice a day, or as recommended by your dermatologist. In its oral or intravenous form, it is a potent anti-hypertensive medicine, used in emergencies to lower critical blood pressures. It was during this use that hair growth was noted in patients with hair loss. Its exact mechanism of action is unknown; most experts feel that it causes dilation of the blood vessels in the scalp and increased exposure of the hair follicle to this flow. It has been shown to work best on the top of the head and less well at the angles. Its predominant effect is to decrease loss and maintain existing growth.

We recommend the use of Vitastim and if necessary Biostim as well, in all cases for best results.

MALE PATTERN HAIR LOSS - Our Results.

For many men, losing hair is something that will have to be faced as part of the aging process.

Male Pattern Hair Loss can be treated with preventative hair loss treatments and products these days.

If this is happening to you, you are not alone, as a simple walk down the street will show you. About 25 per cent of men begin losing hair before they reach 30 and two thirds before the age of 60. Sometimes men can begin losing hair in their teens and can reach their early twenties with very little, if any, hair left on the crown of their head. Usually, however, the hair loss is gradual, developing over a period of twenty to thirty years.

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.

FEMALE HAIR LOSS AT 32: My hair was beginning to thin, my scalp became very dry, itchy and flaky all of a sudden my appearance was in rapid decline at the age of just 32.

March 2006 August 2006

Julia says:

In March 2006 I started to realize that there was something wrong with my hair and scalp. My hair was beginning to thin, my scalp became very dry, itchy and flaky all of a sudden my appearance was in rapid decline at the age of just 32. I decided to visit my GP for immediate help and what I thought would be solid advice. I was appalled at his attitude and immediately looked for qualified help. I clicked on to the internet and found the word trichology and then trichologist - a specialist in the study and treatment of hair and scalp problems. After several visits to my GP without success I asked to be referred to a trichologist for a second opinion. My GP said there was nothing he could do as it was a waste of time and money. After getting no further help from my GP I decided to get a second opinion for myself. I had heard about The Hair Centre on the BBC radio 5 and decided to go along for a consultation.

I was diagnosed as suffering from female pattern hair loss and after speaking to a trichologist I felt much happier and relaxed knowing there was some treatment that could help me. At first I was a bit apprehensive and worried it was not going to work but after just 3 months of treatment I can see a very noticeable change of hair growth and the treatment has been very successful as it has stabilized the hair loss. I am currently using a maintenance treatments recommended by The Hair Centre at home and I am very happy with the results and will continue to use it after the treatment has finished in 9 months’ time as it has made my hair much thicker and healthier. I am really happy with my results and I have seen and spoken to other patients at The Hair Centre and my case is one of their success stories.

Thank you.

Male Hair Loss: I have been suffering from male pattern hair loss for the past 12 years.

Stephen says:

I have been suffering from male pattern hair loss for the past 12 years. But it wasn’t until about 18 months ago when I literally stumbled on to The Hair Centre’s website that I actually now know how you inherit genetic hair loss and how it develops. When I first visited the site I was impressed by the technical back up and that I could speak directly to a qualified professional (from the privacy of my own home and without embarrassment). I was given a clear and honest explanation of the symptoms and how the treatments can help to combat these symptoms. Having tried other GP prescribed medication and over the counter remedies from Boots and many other chemists, even a Chinese Herbalist, with mixed results. I was naturally enthusiastic about something new. The knowledge of the trichologists and the staff online at The Hair Centre some of whom are speaking from personal experience alongside a scientific background, gives you confidence from the start.

After only 4 months I saw new baby re-growth, I was sprouting new hair, I believe as a direct result of the combination of the treatment and the stress free approach.

18 months into my treatments and products now, I have a couple of areas where I am still obviously thinner and my scalp is still visible, but on the whole my existing and remaining hair is substantially thicker and healthier, and I know that the deterioration has stopped and my genetic hair loss pattern is now under control, thanks to The Hair Centre’s products I am very happy with my new appearance.

I’d recommend the treatment to anyone with hair concerns. All aspects of The Hair Centre are professional friendly and best of all effective.

Thanks.

What Is Lupus Erythematosus? Can Lupus Cause Hair Loss?

Question: What Is Lupus Erythematosus? Can Lupus Cause Hair Loss?

Answer: Lupus is a form of arthritis which mainly affects women of child-bearing age. It is an autoimmune rheumatic disease, caused by a fault in the body’s immune system. The immune system normally produces antibodies that fight infections. If you suffer from a autoimmune disease, antibodies are produced which act against certain body tissues and cause inflammation.

Yes Lupus Can Cause Hair Loss. Some loss of hair (alopecia) is exetremely common with lupus. For most people this is a very minor problem but occasionally you may suffer from quite serious hair loss. As with the other features of Lupus your hair loss may come and go from time to time. You will probably find that your hair grows back but it will be weaker and thinner than before. Steroid injections can be tried on the NHS but are not advised as a long term solution. Very often people with serious hair loss will take to using a wig.

Best advice is to speak directly to one of our trichologists on 0207 976 6868 for advice as every case will vary.
