Book onlineAbout hair loss
Male-pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) is the most common cause of hair thinning in men, usually starting at the temples or crown and progressing gradually over years. It's driven by genetics and hormones, not poor health or diet in most cases.
Two licensed treatments — a topical solution and an oral tablet — can slow or partially reverse pattern hair loss, most effectively when started early. Results take months to appear and continued use is needed to maintain them.
Online review suits established, gradual pattern hair loss. Sudden or patchy hair loss, scalp scarring, or hair loss alongside other symptoms can have different causes and is better assessed in person.
Frequently asked questions
How soon will I see results?
Typically 3-6 months of consistent use before any visible change, and results are only maintained with continued treatment.
Are these treatments suitable for women?
The prescription options offered here are licensed for male-pattern hair loss. Women with hair loss should book a video consultation for a tailored assessment.
Does this treat sudden or patchy hair loss?
No — sudden shedding or patchy bald spots have different possible causes and need an in-person or video review rather than a written request.
Are there side effects to be aware of?
Your GP will go through the specific medication’s side-effect profile with you before prescribing, based on your answers.
