Hair Loss Treatments from Royal Clinic . .

The experience of thinning hair resulting in various forms of hair loss
and baldness can be a very emotional experience for any man or woman.
The effects of hair loss can cause irritation & anxiety resulting in general loss
of confidence in ones appearance in relationships and career development.

The most common form of hair loss known as Androgenetic Alopecia affects up
to 80% of the male population. For those who are prone to hair loss, the male
hormone 'testosterone' is converted into the androgen 'Dihydrotestosterone',
or 'DHT', by an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase. It is the effect of this DHT
that inhibits the growth of new hair cells, which in turn leads to male hair loss
producing thinner, finer hairs and in many cases, eventual baldness.

Hereditary and genetic factors along with ones general health, stress & diet all
have a part to play in how we continue top keep our hair and its overall condition.

The Hair Growth Cycle

About 90 percent of the hair on a person's scalp is growing at any one time.
When a hair is shed, a new hair from the same follicle replaces it and the
growing cycle starts again. Scalp hair grows about one-half inch a month.
As people age, their rate of hair growth slows.

Natural blondes typically have more hair (140,000 hairs) than brunettes
(105,000 hairs) or redheads (90,000 hairs). Most hair shedding is due to the
normal hair cycle, and losing 50-to-100 hairs per day is no cause for alarm.

Three phases of the hair growth cycle: Anagen (Growth Phase), Catagen (Degradation Phase), Telogen (Resting Phase). Period of growth (anagen) between two and eight years are followed by a brief period, two to four weeks, in which the follicle is almost totally degraded (catagen). The resting phase (telogen) then begins and last two to four months. Shedding of the hair occurs only after the next growth cycle (anagen) begins and a new shaft begins to emerge. On average 50-100 telogen hairs are shed every day.

The Solution - How our Treatment for Male Hair Loss Works

Royal Clinic's individually prescribed combination treatment courses for
male hair loss have three main purposes; a) to block the DHT hormone
(the cause of male hair loss) from reaching and destroying vulnerable hair
follicles, b) activating the hair follicles to stimulate and increase the blood
circulation that is crucially needed to feed and nurture natural hair growth, c)
to open up potassium channels in the areas of hair loss.
Over time hair loss decreases and the hairs become thicker and longer
giving the appearance of hair growth and a thicker, fuller head of hair.

Prescribed individual treatment courses are also available for female hair loss.

Hair Follicular Restoration Treatment

Royal Clinic offers one of the most advanced and effective forms of hair
transplantation available for men and women. We have some of the most
experienced hair transplantation surgeons operating in the UK today who are
members of the prestigious International Society of Hair Restoration (ISHR)
and the British Trichological Society (BTSoc), in what is a very specialised
cosmetic surgical procedure. In addition the Royal Clinic has an experienced
team of hair transplant clinical nurses who work alongside our
specialist surgeons.

The Procedure

Hair follicles contain one to four hairs known as grafts.
By implanting individual hair follicles one at a time into the scalp, a very precise
yet totally natural looking hair transplant can be achieved. The development of
this method is a huge advance on the original techniques of plug grafting or
mini and micro grafting. It allows for a single transplant session to give a very
natural result that copies nature exactly.

The follicular units are taken from areas where there is an abundance of hair,
i.e. the back and sides of the head. Our surgeons provide expert care and
the most natural result possible with very little discomfort or downtime.
Once planted these hairs will continue to grow for the rest of your life.
