Androgenetic Alopecia, also known as male pattern hair loss, is the most common form of hair loss accounting for 95% of hair loss in men. Female pattern hair loss is the preferred term for Androgenetic Alopecia in females, and affects as many as 12% of females aged from 20 to 29 years, and over 50% for women over the age of 80.

As the name suggests, Androgenetic Alopecia involves the action of androgens (male sex hormones), specifically DHT (dihydrotestosterone). Individuals with pattern hair loss have an increased sensitivity to DHT. DHT binds onto susceptible hair follicles, causing them to shrink. Over time this impacts the hair growth cycle where hair starts to thin, shorten and eventually stop growing.

Suffer from male & female pattern hair loss, severe dandruff, postpartum hair loss, sensitive scalp.

Yes, early treatment will be able to reduce further hair loss.

We have over 20 years of experience in treating hair loss and are internationally recognised in the industry.

The products we use for the treatment are specially formulated by our own lab in Melbourne, Australia to specifically target hair loss problem.

From experience, our clients with Androgenetic Alopecia achieve visible results usually within the first 3-4 months. The process of follicular miniaturisation occurs over the course of many years, thus rejuvenation of the follicles is not a quick process. Furthermore, existing catagen and telogen hairs (hair in the rest phase) will need to shed first before new healthier anagen hairs (hair in growth phase) grow.

How quickly you attain results will depend on a few factors such as age, severity, genetic predisposition to hair loss, treatment dosage, scalp condition and other external factors. Generally, the earlier treatment is begun, the faster and more effective the results are*. New hair growth is seen in almost all cases of pattern hair loss, but the extent of satisfaction will also depend on the individual. There are some individuals who respond well – and then there are those who don’t respond as well and may need additional treatment. We recommend that you come in for a consultation at one of our clinics to assess your scalp and hair condition, and discuss your chances of hair regrowth.

For other forms of non-scarring alopecia, the results may vary depending on the circumstance and how soon the causative factor is dealt with. However, hair regrowth will not occur in places where there are no viable follicles, i.e. in people with forms of scarring alopecia (e.g. burns to the scalp, surgical scars).

As male/female pattern hair loss is a genetic condition, you will need to maintain the program for as long as you want to grow and maintain your hair. Unfortunately once treatment is stopped, the hairs you would have grown back plus the ones that you would have lost normally with the passage of time will gradually fall off, as they were genetically programmed to be lost.

In many cases, clients are satisfied with the amount of hair regrowth and will just wish to maintain their newly grown hairs. There are also those whose priorities change later in life and will not be able to stay on the full program. For these reasons, we can design custom maintenance programs specially tailored to the individual.

For non-genetic causes of hair loss, normal hair growth will usually resume once the causative factor is dealt with.

Hair transplants are a common remedy for many sufferers of male pattern hair loss. In fact, many of our clients have had hair transplants in the past. However, a hair transplant will not prevent you from further losing your hair. For example, if you have a hair transplant performed on the bi-temporal areas of the scalp, it may look aesthetically pleasing for a year or two, but eventually you will likely lose hair in other areas.

Our program can prevent the progression of hair loss, therefore is suitable for those with hair transplants. However, one must note that a transplanted hair follicle may, due to scarring of skin tissue, damage surrounding hair follicles that have the potential to grow if rejuvenated.
