The airline industry is being hit hard by the global recession, with more people choosing to holiday at home and the cost of fuel rising as global oil supplies dwindle. So the people responsible for keeping the airlines in business are vying to come up with the most original and inspiring ways to promote their brands. Earlier this year, Air New Zealand launched an unusual advertisement campaign after searching worldwide for 70 bald people who were willing to have temporary tattoos on their heads and then stand in queues at three airports. The tattoos were promoting a new system designed to cut down waiting time at check-in. The candidates could choose from a payment of $NZ1000 (£350) or a round-trip ticket to New Zealand.

Terry Gardner, a 50 year old legal secretary from California, elected to become a ‘cranial billboard’ for the airline. After shaving her head, her brother thought she was having a breakdown and sent the police round to check up on her. The police were convinced of her story when she showed them the back of her head which displayed the words “Need A Change? Head Down to New Zealand. www.airnewzealand.com”.

While most people would not go to such extremes to earn some money, the bald branding campaign has fulfilled its brief – it got people talking about the airline. Another ‘cranial billboard’, 41 year old carpenter Glenn Faulkner, said that he had about 40 enquiries a day about the promotion.

While the hair of those involved in this campaign may grow back, for some people, going bald is not a matter of choice and many would not choose to attract attention to their baldness with a tattoo. If you are experiencing balding and have no plans to become a ‘cranial billboard’ then help is at hand.

The Belgravia Centre has over thirty years experience treating hair loss in men and hair loss in women that, if left untreated, may lead to baldness. Hair loss medications such as Minoxidil and Propecia have been proven to prevent hair loss and help re-growth and are particuarly effective when used with hair growth boosters as part of an indidualised treatment program.

Question: I was wondering what your experience with alpicort f solution is. Does it really work to stop and regrow hair? How long do you use it to see the effects? Are there any side effects? Thanks.

Answer: Alpicort F is not a licensed treatment for hair loss. It is a topically applied product that consists of 5mg estradiol benzoate, 0.2g prednisolone and 0.4g salicylic acid in 100mL of solution, but we do not have any experience with Alpicort F as the Belgravia Centre specialises in medically approved, clinically proven products that are licensed for the treatment of hair loss.

Alpicort F has not been through the appropriate methods of testing for us to be able to comment on its effectiveness in stopping hair loss or promoting regrowth. Side effects associated with its main ingredients include weight gain, rash, increased appetite, indigestion and dry, peeling, red, or scaling skin. However, without any clinical trials, we cannot safely caution about the likelihood of these or other possible side effects when combined and administered in this dose.

Here’s some very useful information for anybody without expert knowledge on hair loss treatments, to know how to spot which ones you can be sure are likely to work, and which ones may not be so effective. As long as you take note of this short guide, there’s not much more you’ll need to know to ensure the best chance of hair loss prevention - HAIR LOSS TREATMENT GUIDE.

Belgravia’s hair loss experts always advise treatment courses based around the medically licensed products for hair loss which are the only ones that have been clinically proven to prevent hair loss and regrow hair; Minoxidil and Propecia. For more information you can speak to a hair specialist by visiting Belgravia for a free consultation or completing an online diagnostic form. You could also call 020 7730 6666 - a member of our hair growth assistance team will be more than happy to help you.

How To Tell Which Hair Loss Treatment Is Right For You

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease that causes a person’s hair follicles to stop working as normal, resulting in sudden or gradual patchy hair loss. It can develop as a result of stress, exposure to toxins or after a viral or bacterial infection. There is a genetic link in one out of five cases. In up to 70% of cases the hair will grow back on its own within a year. However, in some cases it can lead to a more severe form of hair loss – alopecia totalis (no scalp hair) or alopecia universalis (complete hair loss on the scalp and body). Also, the stress of having alopecia areata can make the condition worse so it is worth considering early treatment. Below is a list of the range of treatment options and the pros and cons of each.

Minoxidil - applied in lotion form to the scalp every day, available to men and women but not to anyone under the age of 16.

Pros: Proven to stimulate hair growth for a large percentage of patients usually after about two or three months; Minoxidil is one of only two medications licensed by the MHRA & ‘FDA-approved’ for the treatment of hair loss in the UK and the USA respectively (the other is Propecia - for men only).

Cons: Minor risk (less than 1%)* of side effects including mild facial hair growth, headaches, rashes and palpitations (In clinical trials all were mild and needed no medical treatment. They either diminished in a short time during use of Minoxidil, or shortly after stopping use of Minoxidil)

*During the past ten years of treating tens of thousands of men and women at the Belgravia Centre we estimate less than 1% incidents of side effects from the use of Minoxidil. The Belgravia Centre finds the minoxidil 12.5% cream the most effective treatment for alopecia areata

Steroid injections – A steroid solution is injected straight into the scalp several times. The steroid can stop the immune system from attacking the hair follicles which can lead to regrowth.

Pros: Can be effective when the patient has small patches; can stimulate re-growth which may be permanent

Cons: The treatment might need to be repeated every few months; alopecia returns for some patients once treatment is stopped; long-term side effects include (ironically) premature balding or hair loss, dizziness, mood swings, depression, hallucinations, nausea and vomiting, trembling, aching joints, high blood pressure

Topical steroids (creams and ointments) and steroid tablets – widely prescribed by doctors for alopecia areata treatment.

Pros: Some patients experience re-growth.

Cons: Long-term benefits unclear; side effects more common the longer a patient takes the steroid tablets or cream/ointments – these include diabetes and stomach ulcers; some patients experience itching and hair growth in other areas

Immunotherapy – Treatment of disease by inducing, enhancing or suppressing an immune response. For treatment of alopecia areata, DPCP (diphencyprone) is applied to the bald skin. The patient applies the chemical solution once a week, and the dosage is stronger each time.

Pros: Hair has been shown to grow after 3 months among patients who respond

Cons: The DPCP generally causes an allergic reaction and the patient will develop mild dermatitis (mild eczema), some will have a severe reaction; a small percentage of patients will develop vitiligo (patchy coloured skin); most patients find that their hair continues to fall out after treatment is stopped

Dithranol cream – contains the active ingredient dithranol, which is a medicine applied to the skin to treat psoriasis.

Pros: Some patients experience hair re-growth

Cons: less effective than immunotherapy; greater risk of causing a skin reaction and itchiness; can stain the scalp and hair.

UV light treatment - the patient is given about two to three sessions of light therapy each week usually in a hospital

Pros: After about 12 months patients may see some good results.

Cons: Low response rates

Alternative therapies – including aromatherapy, massage, or acupuncture.

Pros: Can help reduce stress which encourages the natural regeneration of hair follicles

Cons: Not enough studies exist to determine how effective these treatments are

Question: Do hair loss treatments work for African hair loss?

Answer: Here at the Belgravia Centre we have successfully treated African hair loss for many years; the treatment combinations we offer are effective for all hair types regardless of race. All of the main forms of hair loss have underlying causes that affect people from all cultures in the same way (genes, stress, hormones, pregnancy, medical conditions), so the treatments used are effective for many races.

Some examples of the success we have had treating African hair loss can be found here:

We may still be in the depths of a global recession but if there’s one thing people aren’t prepared to give up in such times, it’s their appearance - and perhaps their daily coffee. As unemployment levels rise and the cost of food goes up, people are spending on average £36-£40 a month on beauty products and according to high street surveys, a large proportion is being allocated to hair loss products. But while they continue to spend to find a solution that works, they could be already on the road to hair growth and be taking advantage of all the sales instead.

There are some things that we can substitute during a credit crunch. Of course we’d prefer Starbucks in the mornings, but instant coffee will still do the job. Some things though cannot be substituted. Clinically proven hair loss treatments win hands down over high street products and hair supplements. They have been subjected to years of testing and studies to prove they work to prevent hair loss, retain hairlines and increase hair growth, and are even approved by government representative medical agencies.

It can be difficult to find effective solutions to hair loss, but figures clearly demonstrate that people are continuing to search for their ideal product. There are loads of products that pose as clinically tested hair remedies but unless they’ve got the FDA or MHRA’s tick of approval, it’s likely they’re a waste of your time and money. Some people though, aren’t prepared to give up their Costa Coffee of a morning and won’t put up with the clever and conniving marketing ploys of products that make hair growth claims they can’t deliver.

Coffee shops continue to boom in the UK as people refuse to give up their daily brew. When it comes to hair loss prevention, you can’t expect a cosmeceutical product or supplement to be everything you’d hope it to be. You need specialist care, advice and treatments that are proven to work. You might not have lost anything after a short period of by-passing your Cafe Nero detour, but those who spend time trying unproven hair loss treatments to no avail end up not only a few pound out of pocket, but a few extra strands short as well.

Question: Is sex related to bald condition?

Answer: There are two ways to interpret this question so we will give you answers for both!

Firstly, if your question refers to whether an active sex life can cause hair loss, you will be pleased to know that the two are not linked. If you want to know more about this, please read the articles below (if you have time to that is!).

Alternatively, if you are referring to whether or not gender can make a difference to hair loss, then the answer is that hair loss can affect both sexes but is more common among men (affecting up to 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women at some point in their lives). However, baldness is usually a feature of male pattern baldness, a genetic condition caused by the hormone Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) which inhibits the growth of new hair cells which in turn leads to hair loss and, for some men, baldness.

On the other hand, female pattern hair loss, while also genetic, usually starts to present itself as thinning hair. Other types of hair loss in women can develop as a result of a multitude of factors (lifestyle, diet, stress, hormones, pregnancy, overstyling of the hair). These include Telogen Effluvium (hair loss bought on by a sudden event that causes the hair follicle to move from growth phase to resting phase) and Diffuse Hair Loss (hair loss brought on by internal factors other than genetics).

However women do sometimes suffer baldness as a result of genetic hair loss and also as a consequence of  Alopecia Areata, an autoimmune disease which leads to partial or total hair loss. With the latter condition, in up to 70% of cases, the hair will regrow of its own accord, however for some of those men, women and children with the condition, the hair does not regrow. As with most types of hair loss, hair loss treatments may help in these situations.

If you are noticing thinning hair or bald patches, it is recommended you see a hair specialist for a diagnosis and advice on treatment. The Belgravia Centre offers free consultations. To book an appointment, please call 020 7730 6666 or message the centre. Alternatively, complete the online diagnosic form and a treatment advisor will be in touch.

The Balding Process - How Far Will It Go?

It’s not easy dealing with hair loss and with so many products on the market all claiming to cure it, choosing a hair loss treatment that’s right for you doesn’t make the situation any easier. There are three main factors to take into consideration when it comes to purchasing a product for hair loss: what form of treatment you want, what kind of hair loss you have, and what evidence there is to say this treatment will help your condition.

Shampoos – there are a range of shampoos that claim to help reduce hair loss and improve thickness. Generally what they do is use ingredients such as collagen which adhere to the shaft to temporarily increase thickness. They may be useful for people with naturally thin hair to give it a bit of oomph, but they cannot prevent any form of hair loss nor stop the balding process.

Topical Treatments – you’ll find some hair sprays and serums that are marketed toward those with thinning hair. Some use microfibers which cling to your natural hair and temporarily make hair appear thicker, others claim it’s their unique blend of vitamins, mineral extracts and protein that invigorates and stimulates hair growth. These products can be a good treatment system to use in conjunction with clinically proven hair loss treatments until they start to take effect, or perhaps to improve the appearance of hair, but they alone can’t fix the sole problem.

Herbal Supplements – daily hair supplements work to improve the hair health by delivering essential nutrients to the follicles. Hair loss in women is often linked to nutritional deficiencies and in such instances supplements may help. However, you should always check with a hair loss specialist to determine whether there may be other underlying medical conditions, or if the deficiency has triggered female pattern hair loss. Additionally, in some cases, overdosing on certain vitamins and minerals can lead to hair loss so always check with your doctor first before taking any supplement.

Prescription Treatments – Propecia and minoxidil are the only treatments that have been subjected to extensive studies, proven to stabilise hair loss and generate hair growth, and licensed for that use. Usually minoxidil is available commercially without a prescription, but the Belgravia Centre pharmacy, which is a registered with the Royal Pharmaceutical Society and the only UK pharmacy dedicated solely to hair loss treatments, is able to add licensed anti-androgens. These have a similar effect to Propecia but unlike the daily oral treatment, minoxidil is a topical treatment available to women as well as men. Propecia and minoxidil work internally and locally where applied to address the root cause of hair loss, but you must see a hair loss specialist that is able to prescribe before obtaining these. Not only will you be able to get the right information regarding likely results and possible side effects, but you’ll be in the safe hands of a professional who will be able to advise whether this hair loss treatment really is right for you.

Hair Transplant – Not everyone will be a good candidate for surgery; you must have realistic expectations, be prepared for the possibility of needing to use medications to maintain new hair growth, and still have a decent amount of hair left. A lot of the time, prescription hair loss treatments will be first recommended. Generally, those suitable for transplant are men who have been suffering male pattern baldness for more than five years whose hair loss has stabilised, or those who have lost their hair due to trauma or burns or other cosmetic procedures.

Laser Comb - One of the most important aspect of the HairMax LaserComb, apart from being completely safe, painless and with no side effects, it is simple to use and cost effective. You buy the device once and use it three times a week to increase blood flow and stimulate cell division within the hair follicles. The LaserComb is the only treatment of its kind to be cleared by the FDA for hair loss. For those who still have a fair amount of hair, the Laser Comb has shown the ability to thicken up hair growth by increasing the number of terminal hairs. However, its effectiveness differs from person to person, with the results dependent upon how far advanced the occurrence of hair loss and if any prescription hair loss treatments are also being used.

From shampoos to herbal supplements and from fancy combs to surgery, companies all over the world have come up with different solutions to hair loss solutions. To help you make the right decision when choosing a treatment that’s right for you, contact the Belgravia Centre, the UK’s leading specialists in hair loss. Call on 020 77390 6666 to book a free consultation and receive friendly, impartial, expert advice, or email us for more information.

Question: Has anyone tried Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)? I’ve tried a few different things but I am curious about this. I’ve been reading www.laserhairgrowthfacts.com/How-It-Actually-Works.html and it presents some good arguments but I don’t want to pay for anything until I have some unbiased thoughts on this.

Answer: Laser treatment for hair loss aims to stimulate blood flow to the root of the hair follicle which delivers nutrition to the follicle helping it stay strong and encouraging a healthy hair growth cycle. There is plenty of anecdotal evidence that suggests that laser therapy for hair loss does produce the desired results. The only product (other than Minoxidil and Propecia) that shows significant evidence of preventing hair loss is the FDA-cleared HairMax Lasercomb.

The HairMax Lasercomb is FDA-cleared which means that it has undergone clinical testing that has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration, the medical regulatory body in the USA. The Lasercomb has shown evidence to be effective for clients at the Belgravia Centre when used as part of a combined hair loss treatment programme and we are pleased to be able to offer the Lasercomb free with most treatment plans.

Don’t think that all forms of low-power laser will be as effective as the LaserComb however. It is only the HairMax LaserComb that has been cleared for hair loss prevention by the FDA. It has a patented mechanism where the combs are specially designed to part the hair so that the light can shine directly on the scalp without hair getting in the way. Many hoods and other forms of ‘hair laser’ do not sufficiently reach the scalp because hair gets in the way.

Belgravia doesn’t usually recommend the LaserComb as an individual solution for hair loss, but mostly advises it to be used as a ‘hair growth booster’ alongside the licensed medications. Our combination treatment courses based around these medications - minoxidil + MPG or Azelaic Acid, and Propecia show the highest rate of regrowth. You can get an idea of results from specially tailored combinations by visiting our hair loss success stories.

In terms of versatility, some would think Asian’s got the short end of the stick when it comes to hair, but their naturally sleek straight and dark style proves a force to be reckoned with. Just look at the creativity of the Harajuku styles. There are scientific differences between hair ethnicities and Asian hair is stronger, more resilient to damage and less prone to hair loss than other hair types.

Asian hair facts:

* Asian hair has twice the diameter and a much thicker cuticle than Caucasian hair. Most hair types have around five  layers of cuticles while Asian hair has closer to ten.

* Asian’s have anywhere between 80,000 and 140,000 scalp hairs but, typically, they have fewer hairs per square centimetre than Caucasians. (They also tend to have less body and facial hair.) However, because the individual hair shafts are thicker, it gives the impression of greater hair density.

* Asian hair grows faster than Afro-Caribbean or Caucasian hair at a record rate of 1.3 cm a month, and it also has the longest cycle of growth, lasting up to nine years compared to the average two to seven years.

* On average, Asians also shed fewer hairs a day and tend to experience less balding. Some sources say that for every balding Asian man there are three balding Caucasians. Greying of hair also starts later but it is not known why.

* Asian women, however, have an increased likelihood of experiencing more overall hair thinning than Caucasians or Afro-Caribbean’s.

* The Belgravia Centre has observed that Asian hair generally reacts faster to hair loss treatments, probably because it grows faster than other hair types.

* Asian hair usually has higher porosity levels, absorbing and retaining moisture more quickly. The hair contains a medulla filled with plenty of dark pigment, which is thought to contribute to its shine and high moisture content. However, because Asian hair is thicker and sometimes longer, it also tends to lose more moisture, which can lead to dryness and split ends.

* Asian countries are the prime source of human hair used for wigs and hair extensions because the hair is long, straight, strong, and rarely tampered with chemicals.

* The shape of the follicle largely determines how hair grows. Because Asian hair follicles are almost always completely round, they typically have very straight hair. On the other hand, Afro-Caribbean hair follicles are oval and the hair grows in a spiral-like fashion.

If you didn’t know that “trees look taller when there’s no underbrush”, then you clearly haven’t yet seen Gillette’s “Go Further With Body Shaving” campaign. Whereas once before baldness was equated with old age and lack of virility, it now appears to be a hot trend with metrosexuals and average Joes alike – below the neckline that is. 

Women have always shaved, plucked and waxed just about every inch of hair on their bodies – the amount of pain it takes to look good is incredulous. Now, body baldness is breaking the gender boundaries and Gillette’s animated purple characters with pixelated parts even give men step-by-step instructions on “how to shave your groin”. While I gather the whole notion of “manscaping” isn’t exactly new, I can personally attest that it seems to have crossed the metrosexual boundaries to secure a position on the high-priorities list of your average Joe.

My 20-year-old brother, who is possibly one of the blokiest of blokes getting around and unfortunately for him has more hair on his chest than the average baby gorilla, recently signed up to a course of laser hair removal. His rationale was that, as our parents spent thousands at the orthodontist on our younger brother’s and my teeth, it’s his turn to do something that will make him feel better about himself. Gillette agrees, “a sweater should be bought not grown.” But what’s the appeal for men to have bodies as smooth and silky as a woman’s?

Body baldness has been “a hallmark of male models and homosexuals” according to Kat Fay, a senior analyst at Mintel, who writes an annual men’s grooming report. And the aerodynamic benefits of a smooth body have been appreciated by professional sportsmen but now, Ms Fay reveals in a New York Times article, the new campaign aims to convince the average man that body shaving is “the greatest dating weapon.”

They say a peacock with the biggest feathers attracts the most sought after attention – Kiss frontman Paul Stanley undoubtedly attracted his fair share – but apparently an overt display of chest hair only masks a man’s basic physical appeal. GQ magazine’s style editor, Adam Rapoport, told the New York Times: “22-year-old guys want to show off their pecs, abs and six packs and don’t want hair getting in the way.” And according to a 2005 study of 118 men, 63.6 percent trim or remove body hair below the neck for reasons of a hygienic and appealing nature.

You know, I had previously presumed the hairy gene was a recessive one (apart from my brother who inherited half the Amazon from our father). From a sneak peak at the opening of a man’s collared shirt to the spread of topless men along a beach, my observations told me that men simply aren’t as hairy as they once were. But perhaps, just like the baldness gene, it’s as prevalent as ever, only more men are doing something about it.

Nevertheless, according to an AskMen.com survey, the majority of women prefer a man with a bit of hair on his chest. In fact, 76 of the 100 women polled said they like seeing hair on a man’s chest – but just enough to run their fingers through it – and a third said they liked the entire chest and stomach covered with hair. On the flip-side, 93 percent were against back hair – of the sweater variety, not the odd welcome mat – and when it comes to hair below the belt, well, 88 percent of women expect a man to keep things neat down there. Although I’m not sure that if you look up ‘neat’ in the dictionary you’ll find a spindly-looking tree in the middle of the desert.

Still, as the Gillette-fuelled trend to eliminate superfluous hair gains momentum, the battle against the bald wears on. Gillette’s take on hair loss is, “if the grass is patchy, mow the lawn”. But as more men are swept into the trend to wax, shave and laser the hair on their bodies, like Wayne Rooney they’re also turning to hair loss treatments to keep firm what they’ve got on their heads, rather than shave it off.

Hair is always going to be a contradictory conundrum. Indeed, there are times in the dating game when hairlessness can be a deal breaker. Despite Gillette’s opinion of underarm hair (”an empty stable smells better than a full one”), 94 percent of women find it odd when a man doesn’t have any, and while some women find the bald look attractive, they’re five times more likely to be attracted to a man with a full head of hair.*

I for one am all for men embracing their hirsute and hairless rights (where applicable) – I know my brother’s a real catch, with or without his sweater and if you ask me, Bruce Willis is still one of the best looking guys in Hollywood – but there’s no doubt that cultural trends are impeding men’s confidence to accept these characteristics.

Then again it might not be that bad – perhaps even the start of a new era in gender equality. If it makes you feel better about yourself, what’s the harm in a back, sack and crack? Some say it takes a brave man to go through that experience. Others might say all it takes is stupidity. If you share the latter opinion, Gillette can show you how to “trim the bush to make the tree look taller” painlessly and within the comfort of your own bathroom. And if you’re having the opposite problem on your head, take a look at one man’s experience and his hair loss treatment results on YouTube.
