The low-level laser light stimulates blood flow to the hair follicles, nourishing them and revitalising their ability to produce healthy hair. It also prolongs the growth phase of the hair cycle.

Laser therapy typically does not cause scalp irritation or allergic reactions, distinguishing it from some medications or topical treatments. It is a well-tolerated and safe option.

Visible results are often seen within four months of consistent laser hair growth therapy.

IV Drip therapy can be particularly beneficial for individuals who have recently started experiencing hair loss. By directly delivering essential vitamins into the bloodstream, it addresses potential deficiencies that may contribute to hair loss.

Biotin, vitamin B complex, vitamin D, and vitamin E are known to promote healthy hair growth. They contribute to the overall health of hair follicles and may help strengthen hair.

If you are interested in IV vitamin infusions for hair growth at our Birmingham clinic, please call us at 0121 439 1720 or 07747 478 789, and our team will assist you in the process.

IV Drip therapy involves the administration of fluids and vitamins directly into the bloodstream to replenish nutrients, treat medical conditions, and address deficiencies. This can potentially strengthen hair and encourage growth by delivering essential vitamins directly.

Hair loss can be attributed to various factors, including vitamin deficiencies. When the body lacks essential vitamins, it may not produce enough hair or cease production entirely.

IV vitamin drips for hair growth may include vitamins like biotin, vitamin B complex, vitamin D, and vitamin E, which are known to promote healthy hair growth.

In addition to preventing hair loss, deep scalp cleansing promotes healthy hair growth by improving blood circulation to the hair follicles and nourishing the scalp. It also helps clear the scalp of dandruff, acne, and scabbing, creating an optimal environment for hair growth.

Deep scalp cleansing prepares the hair to absorb other hair care products effectively. By removing build-up, the hair can better absorb nourishing ingredients from conditioners and treatments, maximising their benefits.

To maintain the benefits of deep scalp cleansing, it's crucial to use the right shampoo for your hair type. Our team, with expertise in hair loss and cutting and styling, can recommend the best professional products tailored to your specific needs.

Deep scalp cleansing is a crucial step in maintaining healthy hair and promoting hair growth. It involves exfoliating the scalp and removing build-up to unclog pores and stimulate hair follicles, helping prevent hair loss.

We recommend deep scalp cleansing once or twice a month. This frequency helps remove dead skin cells, excess oil, and pollutants from the scalp, ensuring a clean and healthy environment for hair growth.

Deep scalp cleansing prevents hair loss by removing build-up, unclogging pores, and stimulating hair follicles. This process creates an optimal environment for hair growth, preventing issues like dandruff and itchiness associated with poor scalp health.

PRP is recommended for individuals experiencing hair loss.

We usually recommend one PRP treatment a month for three consecutive months. After this initial phase, clients typically come for follow-up PRP treatments every 3-6 months to maintain results.

To schedule PRP hair growth treatments, please call us on 0121 439 1720 or 07747 478 789.

PRP treatment for hair loss is a promising option, especially for individuals experiencing male and female pattern hair loss. It involves using the client's blood, processed through a centrifuge to extract platelets rich in growth factors.

The growth factors in PRP stimulate hair growth by promoting the proliferation of hair follicle cells and increasing blood supply to the scalp. This encourages an optimal environment for hair growth.

PRP is prepared by extracting a small amount of the client's blood, which is then processed using a centrifuge to separate the platelets. These platelets are rich in growth factors which are crucial for hair growth.

Mesotherapy stimulates blood circulation, activates dormant hair follicles, and releases growth factors. This process revitalises follicles, promotes the growth of new, healthier hair, and reduces inflammation in the scalp.

No, Mesotherapy does not require downtime. Clients can resume their daily activities immediately after the treatment, making it a convenient option for individuals with busy schedules.

Common side effects may include mild redness or swelling at the injection sites, but these effects typically subside within a short period, and they are minimal compared to more invasive procedures.

Yes, Mesotherapy can be effective when combined with other treatments, such as topical medications, to enhance overall results in stimulating hair growth.

Mesotherapy for hair loss is a non-surgical treatment that delivers a specially formulated cocktail of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other active substances directly to the scalp through microinjections. It stimulates hair follicles and triggers the release of growth factors, promoting hair growth.

Mesotherapy operates on the principle of delivering nutrients directly to the mesoderm (middle layer of the skin) of the scalp through microinjections, stimulating the body's natural healing and regenerative processes.

Mesotherapy is non-invasive, allows for targeted treatment, can be customised for individual needs, has minimal side effects, and provides natural-looking results by promoting gradual and natural hair regrowth.

Please call us at 0121 439 1720 or 07747 478 789 and our team will assist you in the process.

Benefits include non-invasiveness, stimulation of natural hair regrowth, effective absorption of serums and growth factors, customisation to individual needs, and safety when performed by trained professionals.

Yes, microneedling is a non-invasive procedure, making it an attractive option for individuals addressing hair loss without resorting to surgery. It involves minimal discomfort and requires no downtime.

The micro-injuries created by microneedling stimulate the activation of dormant stem cells in the hair follicles. This activation prompts the development of new hair cells, leading to thicker and healthier hair growth.

Yes, microneedling can be tailored to the specific needs of each client. The depth of needle penetration and the frequency of treatments can be adjusted based on the severity of hair loss and desired outcomes.

Microneedling is considered safe and low-risk. Temporary side effects, such as redness or mild swelling, typically subside shortly after the treatment.

Microneedling for hair loss is a minimally invasive procedure involving tiny needles that create controlled punctures in the scalp. This stimulates the body's natural healing response, promoting collagen production and enhancing blood circulation to the hair follicles.

Microneedling works by inducing micro-injuries in the scalp, activating the body's healing response. This process triggers the production of growth factors, cytokines, and collagen, fostering an optimal environment for hair growth.

Growth factors such as platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) are released during microneedling, stimulating collagen production and promoting hair growth and thickness.

Microneedling induces a mild inflammatory response, promoting blood flow to the scalp. Improved blood circulation ensures that hair follicles receive an enhanced supply of oxygen and essential nutrients, fostering an optimal environment for hair growth.

Yes, microneedling can be effective in stimulating hair growth when combined with topical medications. The procedure enhances the absorption of serums and growth factors applied to the scalp.

We typically shed around 100 strands of hair per day. In order to keep our hair at a normal thickness we need to replace those lost strands at the same rate. If you start noticing an increase in the number of hairs left on your hairbrush after brushing or in the basin after shampooing, it may be an early sign of hair thinning. Another early indication could be a wider part or a thinning crown.
