Hair Loss Treatment

Hair Loss Treatment Service at Healthcare Pharmacy in Hornchurch

Are you struggling with hair loss? We can help. Our private hair loss service at Healthcare Pharmacy in Hornchurch 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 largely linked to genetics and the effects of hormones (androgens) on hair follicles over time, which can cause follicles to gradually shrink. Family history is one of the strongest indicators of likelihood and pattern of hair loss. Other factors, such as age, can also play a role. A pharmacist consultation can help you understand your individual circumstances.

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

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. Some clinical studies suggest a proportion of men may see hair regrowth after several months of regular use, though individual results vary and are not guaranteed. Regaine for women is also available and may be considered for female pattern hair loss, subject to individual suitability.

Finasteride 1mg tablets (Propecia)

This is a prescription-only medication for men with hair loss. Finasteride works by blocking a hormone that contributes to hair loss. As with all prescription-only medicines, it will only be considered following an individual clinical assessment of suitability, and response to treatment varies between individuals.
