Treatment for Male Pattern Baldness Regent Street

Male Pattern Baldness generally follows a set pattern of a receding hairline, followed by thinning of the hair on the crown and temples. This is the most common type of hair loss and usually starts around the late 20s or early 30s. By the late 30s, most men have some degree of hair loss. Male Pattern Baldness can leave a horseshoe shape of hair around the back and sides of the head and it could progress to complete baldness, although this is rare. There are two treatmentsThere are 2 products on the market that have made huge advances in treating men’s hair loss.   XXX, commercially known as xxx©, is only available via private prescription and not on the NHS. Minoxidil is available by private prescription if you require stronger 10% or 15% solutions. A weaker 5% (commercially known as Regaine®) is available over the counter. Both can slow down or stop hair loss, but they’re not miracle cures. However, even though these 2 products are the best in the market, they might not work for everyone and the result only lasts for as long as you keep using them. Remember – there’s no lotion, medication, shampoo, massage or laser treatment that will ever bring back your lost hair. If you already have lost hair and have bald patches, only a Hair Transplant can restore them.

The FUE Hair Transplant ProcedureFUE or Follicular Unit Extraction involves removing healthy hair follicles directly from a donor area on the scalp (usually at the back of the head where the hair is plentiful) and grafting them onto the bald or thinning areas. The treatment is carried out under local rather than general anaesthetic, eliminating risks and downtime associated with other hair transplant procedures. And, because the treatment is minimally invasive, there is no detectable scarring and, in most cases, patients are able to return to work the next day with their results. The method uses a specialised punch device, ranging in diameter from 0.6mm – 0.9mm, to extract follicular units complete with necessary glands. This separates surrounding tissue from the unit, meaning minimum trauma and better results, as well as minimal risk of any detectable scarring. Transplantation of all the vital elements of each hair follicle means a better survival rate and better growth. The treatment is performed under a high-powered microscope using specially designed instruments, allowing the surgeon to work with the utmost precision for natural-looking, undetectable results. You will be treated by highly experienced Doctors. Our Hair Transplant surgeons specialised in FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and treat hundreds of patients every year.FUE is a minimally invasive treatment, carried out under local anaesthetic – many patients either watch TV or even fall asleep during the procedure. Unlike the Strip (FUT) procedure, you won’t require any stitches after your treatment. This means that the recovery time is also reduced when compared to the Strip surgery. We use the finest instruments, resulting in as minimal trauma to your scalp as possible. Thanks to our advanced skills and techniques, results can be undetectable.
