| The normal cycle of hair growth lasts for 2 to 3 years and hair grows approximately 1 centimeter per month during this phase. About 90 percent of the hair on your scalp are growing at any one time. After 3 to 4 months, the resting hair falls out and new hair starts to grow in its place. It is normal to shed some hair each day as part of this cycle. However, some people may experience more than normal hair loss.
Hair loss of this type can affect men, women and children. In men there may be many causes of extreme hair loss. These include
medications, surgery, biochemical and haematological abnormalities, fungal infections, stressful life events, hormonal imbalances conditions such as Lupus or Diabetes. 95% of male patients affected by extreme hair loss fall into a category called Androgenetic Alopecia, more commonly referred to as Male Pattern Baldness.
By the age of 35 it is estimated that two thirds of men will experience a degree of appreciable hair loss and by the age of 50 approximately 85% of men have significantly thinning hair. It is estimated that it takes up to 25% of total hair loss before a patient actually notice visible symptoms.
Around 25% of our patients experience hair loss before the age of 21. Unfortunately, hair loss impacts upon many facets of a man's life and his psychological well being. Our patients often report lower levels of self esteem and problems in their personal relationships. Androgenic Alopecia Androgenic Alopecia or Male Pattern Baldness (MPB) is responsible for hair loss in the vast majority of cases. Whilst there are many possible reasons as to why some patients may experience a larger amount of hair loss,including underlying illnesses, reactions to medications, stressful events etc, the vast majority of cases can be attributed to Male Pattern Baldness which has a genetic basis. |

| In men, the primary sex hormone responsible for secondary sex characteristics is called Testosterone. This is broken down to another form of the hormone called Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by an enzyme called type II 5 alpha reductase. DHT is responsible for Male Pattern Baldness in genetically susceptible men.

When we mention genetically susceptible men, what male pattern baldness sufferers are actually inheriting are hair follicles with a genetic sensitivity to Dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Hair follicles sensitive to DHT begin to miniaturize, shortening the lifespan of each hair follicle affected. Eventually these affected follicles stop producing cosmetically acceptable hair. Male Pattern Baldness can be characterised by a wide array of symptoms. For some patients, this may start as diffused thinning over the crown, in others a receding hairline, particularly the temples and crown. Hair in the temples and mid-anterior scalp areas appear to be the most sensitive to DHT.
Our qualified specialist doctors will take a careful history, examination and offer you a full biochemical blood screen to exclude possible reversible causes of hair loss such as anaemia, thyroid problems or inflammatory conditions. Based on the findings the latest treatments will be prescribed accordingly
If Androgenic Alopecia (Male Pattern Baldness) is diagnosed, your doctor will talk you through the implications and latest therapies available to enable you to make an informed decision regarding your treatments.

Prescription Treatments |
|
|
| Prescription medication is offered to our patients only after a specialist Doctor’s consultation, history taking, blood tests if appropriate and counselling regarding the medication. There are a limited number of prescribed treatments available on the market with solid scientifically proven results. The main goal of our therapy is to reduce the concentration of DHT (dihydrotestosterone) in the scalp and blood serum. Our specialists use medications that inhibit type II 5-alpha-reductace, the enzyme that converts testosterone into this more potent androgen DHT (Dihydrotestosterone). Studies have shown the DHT plays an important role in shrinking hair follicles and hence hair loss. American research in the long term Propecia Study proved that hair loss can be abated and actual re-growth can be initiated with the right prescribed treatments. Medications such as Propecia can effectively lower DHT levels by as much as 60% when taken daily, bearing in mind that it is the DHT that shrinks or miniaturizes the hair follicle, which eventually leads to baldness. This 60% reduction in DHT has been clinically proven to stop the progression of hair loss in 86% of men taking it the drug during clinical trials. Other studies of medications that yielded higher suppression levels of DHT in the scalp and serum included the medication Dutasteride manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline, which provided up to 95% suppression of DHT. Initial US phase II trials in 2002 did reveal superior clinical outcomes compared to Finasteride alone at 12 and 24 weeks. A 6 month Phase III Korean study was commenced by GlaxoSmithKline in 2006 investigating a daily dose of Dutasteride for Male Pattern Baldness. These trials were successfully completed in 2009.
Pictures below show how Propecia (one of the medications our doctors may use) blocks DHT production and leads to hair growth. |

Adjunct Treatments For Hair Loss |

| Laser Comb The Laser comb is the first ‘non drug’ product clinically proven and approved to promote hair growth and reduce hair loss.
The Lasercomb has been subject to widespread media acclaim, including winning ‘Time Magazine's’ Invention of The Year. The Lasercomb is a hand held, precision built device that delivers the stimulating effects of light therapy to activate the growth of healthy, vibrant hair. As is uses simple light therapy there are none of the side effects associated with current hair growth treatments.
The benefits of the laser hair comb are numerous in that it requires a treatment of only three times weekly. It stimulates re-growth of scalp hair and thickens existing hair. Phototherapy has been used for a while now, but the beauty of the Laser Comb is that the patient may take the hand held device home. This device may not be appropriate for some patients, but in others it may prove to be an excellent adjunct to our medication programmes. Please ask your doctor about the Laser Comb if you have any further question Minoxodil Although the method of action is essentially unknown, Minoxidil appears to lengthen the duration of the Anagen (growth) phase, and it may increase the blood supply to the follicle. Regrowth is more pronounced at the vertex than in the frontal areas and is not noted for at least 4 months. Patients who respond best to this drug are those who have a recent onset of Androgenetic Alopecia and small areas of hair loss. The drug is marketed as a 2% or a 5% solution, with the 5% solution being somewhat more effective. A 48-week study compared the 2 strengths in men. Findings indicated that 45% more re-growth occurred with the 5% compared with the 2% solution. In general, women respond better to topical Minoxidil than men. Hair Loss Treatment, Prevention and Hair Loss Products If you want to reverse or prevent hair loss, what can be done? Well, there are a lot of treatments available from creams to Hair Transplants – many are quite costly, and all achieve mixed results. The DNCC Derma Roller is a revolutionary device that uses traditional oriental acupuncture techniques to enhance the skins’ natural healing abilities. It promotes increased blood flow to carry nutrients to the hair follicles as well as boosting the effectiveness of creams and lotions such as the very popular regain. An alternative treatment which has very similar results, but without the needles is the.DNCC hair laser
Hair Loss Treatment Results: The DNCC Derma Roller is a hair loss product that gets results. In recent trials, over a 3 month period men treated with DNCC Derma Roller experienced an increase in hair growth and an average 80% reduction in hair loss. The hair restoration and regrowth process can help with thinning hair, balding, bald spots, receding hairlines, alopecia and more. In clinical practice, when combined with the use of Minoxidil, skin needling or micro-needling has excellent results. Reported statistics indicate that around 85% of clients have their alopecia stabilised – so they do not continue to lose their hair. In 64% of these stabilised clients, new hair growth is reported. In only 15% of cases, the hair loss continues. This may be due to other additional health or environmental factors. It is also important to realise that the dermarolling process must be continued to see results. If you give up too soon, then you may not experience the full benefits. Is the Derma Roller Just used to Stop Hair Loss? Of course, the DNCC Derma Roller can assist a much wider range of skin related problems. It’s gentle action stimulates the skin to return to its former healthy state by increasing collagen production in the skin, increased blood flow and enabling skin care products to penetrate and nourish much more effectively. As hair loss products go, it is very versatile.
