Hair Loss Treatment Service at Medicine Chest Pharmacy in Chelsea
Are you struggling with hair loss? We can help. Our private hair loss service at Medicine Chest Pharmacy in Chelsea offers expert advice and effective treatments to stop hair loss and encourage regrowth.
What is Male Pattern Baldness?
Male pattern baldness, also known as androgenetic alopecia, is the most common type of hair loss in men. It can begin as early as 17 but typically starts in the thirties or forties. By age 50, about half of all men experience some degree of hair loss. It often affects the crown and temples of the scalp.
Causes of Male Pattern Baldness
Male pattern baldness is primarily a genetic condition, passed down through families. While other factors can contribute to hair loss, there is currently no evidence that they directly cause male pattern baldness. Unlike some other types of hair loss, male pattern baldness is irreversible without medical treatment.
Effective Hair Loss Treatment Options
While many hair loss products exist, not all are effective for everyone. We offer proven treatments backed by clinical research:
- Minoxidil (Regaine): This topical treatment, available as a lotion, foam, or oil, is one of the most popular and well-established options. It can help stop further hair loss and even stimulate regrowth. Clinical studies have found that around 3 in 5 men reported hair regrowth after 48 weeks of using Regaine. Regiane for women is also available as a treatment for female pattern baldness.
- Finasteride 1mg tablets (Propecia): This prescription-only medication is specifically designed for men with hair loss. Finasteride works by blocking a hormone that contributes to hair loss, often resulting in hair regrowth within three months. Clinical trials have shown that Propecia is effective for 9 out of 10 men.
