Hair Loss

Hair transplants are pricey, so you might want to consider other treatment options first if you’re struggling with hair loss.

There’s a range of hair and scalp treatments that may promote hair growth in men, like Regaine products, or oral medication like Nourkrin tablets which aid the growth of new hair, whilst protecting your current.

Your doctor or pharmacist might prescribe you Finasteride, a medicine designed to treat men with mild to moderate hair loss.

Hair loss can be caused by a number of different reasons. Knowing why it is happening will go a long way to treating it.

Aside from genetics, causes of hair loss in women include:

• Stress
• Pregnancy and childbirth
• Eating disorder
• Vitamin overdose or deficiency
• Lack of protein
• Chemotherapy

Minoxidil can begin to work as soon as 8 weeks after the start of treatment.

However, it can take up to 16 weeks before you see any results, and this can be different from person to person.

If you don’t see any improvements after 16 weeks to one year of use (depending on the strength of the treatment), you should stop using minoxidil and speak to your doctor or pharmacist for advice.

Minoxidil is a topical medication that works to treat male and female pattern baldness (androgenic alopecia).

It works by increasing blood flow to the hair follicles, stimulating hair growth in the area in which it is applied.

You don’t need a prescription to buy minoxidil - just look out for brands like Regaine and Son’s.
