About
Dear Reader,
Thank you for taking the time to visit our website. We have seen and helped many hair loss sufferers and understand the anxiety you will experiencing. These pages will give you a background to the main issues of hair loss and the various treatments available. Despite what some will lead you to believe the majority of people respond positively to these solutions so there is no need to be disheartened.
Why is Hair loss so unappealing? Attraction between the most primitive of animals to complex mammals is a function of health and fertility. These form the principal factors in successful breeding and rearing of offspring. In man hair loss signals the progression of the ageing process and may be indicative of poor immunological health as a consequence of our genetic makeup. We can find the onset and progression of hair loss as we enter adulthood a diminishment in our confidenceĀ at a critical formative stage of our lives.
From the hairs in the morning shower plughole or pillow, to the exposed awkwardness under artificial light, hair loss develops into a constant concern and starts to hinder your work, your social life and your well-being. In a challenging world, that’s something you don’t need and you certainly don’t deserve!
Most people enter a period of denial as the most simple and immediate way to cope and in so doing inevitably allow the problem to worsen. Eventually some follicles will reach a completely irreversible atrophied state so the sooner treatment starts the better. You’ve taken an important step in acknowledging the problem.
Unfortunately you may have already discovered a poorly regulated market full of snake oil treatments that prey on insecurities and ultimately don’t deliver on their promises. Over priced tricologists and laser treatments often, once they’ve lost your trust, blame your hair loss and their failure on your genetic disposition. Having already taken thousands from you they’ll progress to advising often unnecessary and expensive surgical grafts.
For myself I refused to accept the ‘hair loss’ is in your genes’ school of thought, and saught the non-surgical treatments that worked. The results went beyond my expectations with initial hair loss ceasing and eventually progressing to actual thickening and regrowth, returning to my teenage hairline.
Minoxidil is the main active ingredient in what isĀ marketed as Regaine(TM) or Rogaine(TM) and can be purchased over the counter in chemists. Users should be aware of side effects cited in the FDA report on Minoxidil.
Let’s beat this together!
