Non-Surgical Treatments for Hair Loss - UK Hair Transplant Clinic

Hair loss can happen to anyone for a number of reasons and surgical treatments may not be appropriate for your condition or you may want an alternative. UK Hair Transplant Clinic offer some non-surgical alternatives.

Non surgical hair loss treatments are utilised in 2 ways:
1) To retain and improve the aesthetic visual appearance of existing hair – creating thicker, fuller hairs
2) To reduce or eliminate further hair loss, retaining existing hair

UK Hair Transplant Clinic are able to prescribe the strongest hair loss treatments to their patients. Treatments are devised and fulfilled treatment plans are approved by surgeons that will yield optimal and sustainable results in minimum time. They must also be appropriate to the patients’ lifestyle. 

Patients must be mindful that whilst non surgical treatments can be excellent solutions to early stages of hair loss they will only potentially work if there is still a live follicle. If the follicle is dead then visual thickening can only be achieved by the transplanting of DHT resistant donor hairs to the affected area.

In more cases than not, unless a Patient is completely bald they will wish to retain their existing non transplanted hair. If you understand why you lose your hair and how this cycle may be reversed then the reasons behind the global popularity of Finasteride, the world’s number one non surgical remedy will become clear. 

Finasteride was developed to treat mild to moderate male pattern hair loss on the vertex (top of head) and anterior mid-scalp area (middle front of head). Propecia, the brand name for finasteride, is the only FDA approved oral medication for hair loss. Propecia contains 1mg of the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient Finasteride and must be taken daily without deviation from the dosage plan to maintain efficacy.

In the US alone there are over 1 million men currently on this medication many of which have dramatically improved both the thickness of their hair and as a result their confidence through continued use. Across the world Finasteride use extends to over 10 million satisfied Patients who are prolonging the life of their existing hair with a consistent dose of Finasteride.

Finasteride is administered orally in tablet form, consumption of the recommended daily dose does in the majority of cases lead to noticeable results between 6 and 12 months from first use.
