Answer: Hi, Cameron. Hair loss around the front of the head, whether thinning edges or a receding hairline, can be stubborn to treat as hair growth is slowest in this area of the scalp.

There are two clinically-proven  male hair loss treatments which can be used individually, though in the case of treating a receding hairline it is often advised that they are used in tandem.

These are high strength minoxidil which is applied directly to the thinning areas either once or twice per day, as advised by your specialist, to helps to promote hair growth. The second is a daily, oral tablet of finasteride 1mg. Despite being unproven for frontal hairloss, it does block the enzyme dihydrotestosterone (DHT) which causes the hair to thin in cases of genetic hairloss due to an inherited sensitivity to this substance.

Various hair growth supporting products can be added in alongside these medications, as required. These include the FDA-cleared handheld follicle-stimulating LaserComb device and Hair Vitalics food supplements, which have been specially developed to contain a highly-targeted blend of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and botanical extracts, including biotin, zinc and selenium for the maintenance of normal healthy hair growth.

These can be added in from the start of your treatment or you decide to try them further down the line as you see fit - your specialist will be able to give you advice as to which boosters are the most appropriate for your specific situation. This approach has helped many men to see significant changes to their hair photographed before and after starting their customised courses.

In terms of price we offer a variety of courses and payment options to suit almost everyone, however as a rough guide, the price of our hair loss treatment is generally between £600 per year and £2,000 per year depending on which course you opt to go for. A consultation with a hair loss specialist can help you to determine the optimum treatments for your specific situation, on a free and no-obligation basis.
