Hair Loss Treatment - A Comprehensive Guide
Featuring information on clinically-proven medications, over-the-counter hair loss products, surgical hair restoration, food supplements and additional key hair growth supporting products.
Identifying the most effective hair loss treatments can be an extremely difficult task. There are hundreds of products that claim to prevent and reverse hair loss so for somebody with no prior knowledge, it can be a long and difficult process to find an effective solution, by which time your hair could have deteriorated further.
This ‘Hair Loss Treatment’ section has been developed to provide you with everything you could wish to know about hair loss treatments – both medications and holistic non-pharmaceutical products you can use alongside clinically-proven drugs. It includes details of the ones that are most effective (and why you can be assured they are the very best available), to an index of the most well-known ‘off-the-shelf’ products that you would most likely have heard of, so you can read an expert report on each treatment, therapy or product in order to form your own opinion about its effectiveness.

Hair Loss Treatment Results – World’s Largest Collection of Success Stories
Every Belgravia Centre patient who visit our Central London clinic has periodic photos taken throughout their treatment programme in order to monitor the changes in their hair density compared to before they started treatment. This is one of the most exciting aspects of a Belgravia treatment programme – the results for many patients far exceed their expectations. Belgravia’s success stories feature these ‘before/after’ photos, as well as patients’ comments taken from Belgravia’s Facebook and Google+ pages, or one of the clinic’s comments books. You can view these comments yourself by visiting one of the pages, or browsing through our comments books, found in reception. No other hair loss clinic in the world can boast such a large and impressive collection of success stories, which is why Belgravia’s title as ‘The UK’s Leading Hair Loss Clinic’ is probably an understatement. Be sure to bookmark Belgravia’s hair loss success stories as they are updated on a daily basis. Please note that results may vary and are not guaranteed.
Key Treatments
High Strength Minoxidil
Minoxidil is the first of two medications clinically proven for the treatment of hair loss and is effective for both men and women. It is medically proven for androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern hair loss) but is also known to be effective for various other hair loss conditions. Minoxidil is a topical liquid that can include various additives for optimising effectiveness which is applied once or twice a day depending on the formulation prescribed, or an oral on-a-day tablet. For more information on the preparations of high strength minoxidil available from Belgravia, please contact the centre. You can do so by calling 020 7730 6666 or messaging the centre. We recommend arranging a free consultation at our London clinic or alternatively completing our online consultation if you are from outside London, following which you will be able to arrange a Zoom consultation.
Finasteride - Oral or Topical
Finasteride is the second of the two only clinically proven treatments for hair loss and is only effective in men. It is a daily pill or topical formulation that works by inhibiting the product that is produced by the body which causes genetic hair loss – dihydrotestosterone, or DHT. In a 2 year clinical study on oral finasteride 1mg, over 83% of the 1,153 men that took part, maintained or increased their hair count. Visit our finasteride page for more information, including details on a follow-up 5 year study, how to get the best out of the medication and details of possible side effects.
Key Hair Growth Supporting Products
Which non-clinically proven treatments are worth using? There are many available but most of those hold minimal, or no efficacy, with a lack of clinical evidence showing that the product actually works. The hair growth supporting products that The Belgravia Centre’s hair loss experts primarily recommend are…
Hair Vitalics Premium Food Supplement
Belgravia’s hair growth experts have formulated a unique one-a-day food supplement to support the maintenance of healthy hair – Hair Vitalics. Our supplement is available in two separate formulas, one For Men and one For Women.
These convenient nutritional support products each contain a number of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and botanical extracts, including selenium, biotin and zinc to promote the maintenance of normal, healthy hair growth.
Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) Devices
Low-power laser therapy uses light emitting diodes to stimulate the hair follicles and can easily be administered at home. FDA-cleared LLLT devices including the HairMax LaserBand, are quick and convenient to use, being combed through the hair with patented components that allow the light to get directly to the scalp, in order to further support healthy hair growth.
Additional Therapies Available
Clients visiting any of Belgravia’s London hair loss clinics can take advantage of in-house clinical therapy sessions. These involve a range of soothing, nourishing and stimulating treatments tailored to the individual needs of each person and may include infra red therapy, scalp steaming, massage and hair masks.
Additives such as medroxyprogesterone, AA and caffeine, which are contained in our minoxidil formulations, are also products aimed at assisting the hair loss stabilisation process.

Hair Transplant Surgery
Surgical hair replacement is a popular and effective solution for filling in areas of thinning hair or baldness. The two most popular procedures are FUT (follicular unit transplantation) and FUE (follicular unit extraction). FUT is the more classic procedure, which involves removing a strip of skin from the back of the scalp and removing the hair follicles to insert into another area of the scalp. FUE involves removing hair follicles directly from the scalp for transplantation to other areas.
Find out about the pros and cons of each of these procedures and the amount you can be expected to spend. We also discuss the importance of maintaining the ‘old hair’ with clinically proven medications to avoid patchy areas of baldness post-hair transplant, and whether or not using the correct combinations of treatments might promote enough hair growth to avoid the need for a hair transplant.
