High Strength Minoxidil Unique To The Belgravia Centre

One of the many things that makes The Belgravia Centre unique in its hair loss treatment approach is the fact that we offer a high strength minoxidil formulation for more stubborn patches of hair loss. Exclusive to The Belgravia Centre, the high strength creams are available to both our male and female clients. Below, we take a look at why they give such great results.

The creams contain 10% or 12.5% minoxidil, along with 5% azelaic acid. The minoxodil is a vasodilator, which means that it dilates blood vessels around the hair follicles, meaning more blood carrying essential nutrients reaches the roots of your hair, keeping it healthy and encouraging growth. However, other vasodilators do not have the same effect, leading scientists to wonder whether minoxidils role in activating potassium channels in the cells could also lead to growth.

Whilst were unsure of exactly what minoxidil does, our many hair loss success stories with before and during treatment photos are testament to the fact that it has a consistently high success rate in treating hair loss, and of course, the fact that its licensed by the MHRA also means that many clinical trials have been undertaken to ensure its effectiveness.

But what makes the higher strength solutions different? Apart from the obvious fact that they contain a higher concentration of minoxodil, and as a result treat hair loss that lower strengths cannot, it also contains the ingredient azelaic acid. This inhibits the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which when combined with testosterone creates dihydrotestosterone, a hormone responsible for damaging the hair follicle and inhibiting growth.

If youre a male patient, you can use this formulation alongside Propecia, another DHT blocker. For women, we may prescribe the high strength cream alongside a minoxidil liquid formulation. The medications are part of a comprehensive treatment plan, which often includes regular check-ups at our clinic and one or more treatment boosters to help keep your hair in its best possible condition. 

So, if youve tried off the shelf hair loss medication to no avail, theres no need to despair. Give us a call on 0800 077 6666 or message us to arrange a free consultation, and well compile a tailored treatment plan which can potentially contain the high strength minoxidil cream if our hair loss specialist deems it appropriate for your diagnosis.
