Hair Loss and Restoration Treatments

At Ihya Aesthetics, we understand how hair loss can impact your confidence and self-esteem. Whether caused by genetics, lifestyle, or medical conditions, hair loss is a concern for both men and women. In partnership with the world-renowned EsteWorld, we offer state-of-the-art hair restoration treatments designed to restore your hair, confidence, and well-being.

Causes of Hair Loss in Men & Women

Hair loss can occur for a variety of reasons. Some of the most common causes include:

  • Genetics (Androgenetic Alopecia): The leading cause of hair loss, often known as male or female pattern baldness. Men typically experience a receding hairline and thinning at the crown, while women usually see overall thinning across the scalp.
  • Hormonal Imbalances: Hormonal changes during pregnancy, menopause, or thyroid issues, as well as conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), can lead to hair thinning.
  • Ageing: Hair naturally thins and weakens as we age, leading to gradual hair loss.
  • Medical Conditions: Autoimmune diseases like alopecia areata, scalp infections, and other conditions such as anaemia can trigger hair loss.
  • Stress and Lifestyle: Physical and emotional stress, poor diet, lack of sleep, and the use of harsh chemicals on hair can all contribute to hair loss.

The 7 Stages of Hair Loss (Norwood Scale)

Male pattern baldness is typically classified using the Norwood Scale. Understanding the stage of hair loss helps in selecting the most appropriate treatment.

  • Stage 1: No visible hair loss.
  • Stage 2: Slight hairline recession at the temples.
  • Stage 3: More pronounced hairline recession with thinning at the crown.
  • Stage 4: Significant hairline recession and thinning across the crown.
  • Stage 5: The crown and front thinning areas start to merge.
  • Stage 6: The bald areas at the crown and hairline connect.
  • Stage 7: Severe hair loss with only a horseshoe-shaped band of hair remaining around the back and sides.

Women typically experience more diffuse thinning across the top of the scalp, which can be classified using the Ludwig scale.

Hair Loss Treatments at Ihya Aesthetics

We offer a variety of treatments to help slow or reverse hair loss, depending on the cause and severity.

HydraFacial Keravive

This non-invasive treatment focuses on cleansing and hydrating the scalp. It promotes healthier hair growth by delivering growth factors and peptides directly to the scalp. HydraFacial Keravive is ideal for improving scalp health and boosting the effects of other hair loss treatments.

Minoxidil (Topical Treatment)

Minoxidil is a widely used topical solution that helps to slow hair loss and stimulate new hair growth. It works by improving blood flow to the hair follicles and is most effective in the early stages of hair loss.

Finasteride (Prescription-Only)

Finasteride is an oral medication that blocks the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the hormone responsible for shrinking hair follicles in men. It’s a powerful option for treating male pattern baldness but is not suitable for women.

Laser Hair Therapy (Low-Level Laser Therapy – LLLT)

This non-invasive treatment uses low-level light to stimulate hair follicles and promote hair growth. It can be used on its own or as part of a post-transplant care plan.

Hair Transplants: Your Permanent Solution

For advanced hair loss, hair transplantation provides a permanent solution. At Ihya Aesthetics, we offer two advanced hair transplant methods in partnership with EsteWorld: Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Direct Hair Implantation (DHI),

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)

FUE is a minimally invasive hair transplant technique where individual hair follicles are extracted from the donor area (typically the back or sides of the head) and implanted into areas where hair is thinning.

How the FUE Procedure Works:

  • Preparation: The donor area is trimmed for better visibility of the hair follicles.
  • Anaesthesia: Local anaesthetic is applied to both the donor and recipient areas.
  • Extraction: Individual follicles are removed using a micro-punch tool that creates tiny incisions, ensuring minimal scarring.
  • Storage: The follicles are stored in a nutrient solution until ready for implantation.
  • Recipient Area Preparation: Small incisions are made to ensure natural hair growth patterns.
  • Implantation: The follicles are implanted into the recipient area with precision.
  • Post-Care: The scalp is cleaned, and you will receive post-care instructions to ensure proper healing.

Benefits of FUE:

  • Minimal scarring
  • Faster recovery
  • Natural-looking results

Direct Hair Implantation (DHI)

DHI is an advanced version of FUE that allows for even greater precision in hair placement. Using an implanter pen (Choi pen), the surgeon implants the hair follicles directly into the scalp without the need for pre-made incisions.

Why Choose DHI?

  • Higher hair density (up to 40 hairs per square cm)
  • Minimal shaving required, making recovery faster
  • Perfect for delicate areas like the hairline

Comparing DHI to Traditional Hair Transplant Methods

Traditional Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)

In the traditional FUT method, a strip of scalp is removed from the back of the head, and individual hair follicles are then extracted from this strip. While FUT can transplant a large number of grafts quickly, it leaves a linear scar and requires more recovery time.

FUE and DHI vs. FUT

Compared to FUT, both FUE and DHI are less invasive techniques that avoid the need for large incisions and minimise scarring. DHI and FUE focus on extracting individual follicles, which leads to quicker recovery, less visible scarring, and more natural-looking results. While both DHI and FUE are more labour-intensive and costlier than FUT, they are preferred by patients who want a modern, advanced procedure that offers minimal downtime and more precise results.

DHI vs FUE

The main difference between DHI and FUE is the implantation process. While FUE requires the creation of pre-made incisions before the follicles are implanted, DHI uses an implanter pen to directly implant the follicles without the need for prior incisions. This gives DHI an edge in terms of precision, especially for more delicate areas like the hairline. However, it’s important to note that DHI is typically more time-consuming and can be more expensive than FUE.

Pre and Post-Treatment Care at Ihya Aesthetics, Birmingham

For the best results, it’s essential to prepare your scalp before the transplant and continue proper care afterwards. At our Birmingham clinic, we provide specialised pre- and post-treatment services to ensure the success of your hair transplant.

Pre-Treatment Services:

  • HydraFacial Keravive: Deeply cleanses and hydrates the scalp, promoting better growth conditions.
  • PRP (Plasma Replacement Therapy): Utilises your own platelet-rich plasma to enhance hair growth and improve scalp health.
  • Laser Therapy: Stimulates circulation and increases blood flow to nourish the hair follicles.

Post-Treatment Services:

  • PRP Therapy: Supports healing and promotes the growth of transplanted and existing hair.
  • Laser Therapy: Encourages hair regrowth and helps maintain healthy hair follicles.
  • Follow-up HydraFacial Keravive: Continues to nourish and hydrate the scalp post-transplant.
