Hair Loss Medication - Minoxidil
As we all know by now, there is no single cure-all product for hair loss. The innovative way of treating hair loss is to use combination of medication, topical lotions and laser therapy to achieve the best hair restoration results in the shortest amount of time.
We have had a number of people ask about the medication used in hair regrowth, so thought we would dedicate a post to the subject of one of the main hair loss medications that are used. Please remember, as with any drug, please seek the advice of your doctor before using.
Minoxidil
Originally Minoxidil was developed to treat high blood pressure, and it was noticed that it also caused hair to regrow. Since those early days, Minoxidil has become the first drug to be approved by the American FDA for the purpose of treating androgenetic alopecia (Male Pattern Baldness / Female Pattern Baldness).
How does Minoxidil work?
Minoxidil stimulates hair growth in men and women experiencing pattern baldness. However the full breakdown of how it works exactly is not completely documented.
Who would be a good candidate for Minoxidil?
The perfect candidates for Minoxidil use are younger men who have recently stared to notice balding in the vertex/ crown area of the scalp. As with any condition, the sooner you notice it and begin treatment, the better your chances of success.
Is Topical Minoxidil safe?
Topical Minoxidil has a very good safety record. The most common side effects that people experience are itching and skin irritation of the treated scalp.
Can both men and women use Minoxidil?
Hair loss in men and hair loss in women can be treated with minoidil as part of their hair regrowth plan. Whilst there has been numerous studies showing Minoxidil causes clinically significant hair growth in both men and women, it is essential that you discuss your hair regrowth options with a doctor who specialises in this area.
Can hair care products (hair sprays, gels, hair dyes, etc.) be used while using Minoxidil ?
There is no evidence that the vast majority of hair care products interfere with the effectiveness of Minoxidil. Once again, make sure you speak to your doctor before using Minoxidil, and if you have any hair care products that you use regularly, mention them to your doctor to be on the safe side.
If you want to learn more about Minoxidil and hair loss in general, speak to one of the friendly team at Innovative Hair Loss Solutions in Perth, who will be more than happy to discuss the most appropriate hair regrowth treatment for you. Your initial consultation is both cost and obligation free. Call IHLS today on 1300 557 224

Natural Hair Loss Solutions
Apparently garlic and the humble onion may be used topically as a natural hair loss treatment. This is the first time we have come across this idea and thought that we would investigate the claims.
Hair loss remedies can be natural and made with plant extracts, herbs and vitamins. With that being the case, garlic and onions qualify as being natural ingredients.
Many of us look to natural solutions to try and avoid the potential side effects from chemicals and drugs that are available through mainstream pharmacy. It is also said that Onions and garlic may also help to cover up hair loss (male pattern baldness), by giving the remaining hair a much better appearance. Let’s look at these claims a little more closely…
How can onions and garlic help cure and prevent hair loss?
One way in which the garlic and onion hair loss remedies may work, is by providing nourishment topically to the hair follicles, especially if the nourishment of the hair follicles is being blocked by DHT or by bad diet. There is other food sources which can do the same thing, and if you look for homeopathy and similar websites on the net you will find a raft of sites dedicated to curing hair loss and skin ailments by making lotions with natural products.
Another way, in which the onion and garlic topical remedies may act to cure hair loss, is by destroying germs and parasites that may be infecting the scalp area. Also, some fungal infections may respond to garlic and onions being applied directly to them and that may help remedy some types of hair loss – or so it is claimed. To be fair, these claims may be true to some extent. But the humble onion and garlic clove should not be held in too high a regard.
Reduce hair fall by being kind to your hair
At the end of the day, if you are looking after your hair and scalp properly with decent shampoos and conditioners, and not abusing your hair with strong chemical based dyes and heat treatments, then your hair will generally be in a healthy condition.
There are obviously medical and genetic reasons behind the vast majority of hair loss cases, and a reputable company like Innovative Hair Loss Solutions will be able to give you expert advice on what course of action you should take.

One of the most common questions we are asked is, canwomen use hair loss laser therapy for their hair loss?
Yes, they can and one of the many benefits received is thicker hair as well. Thicker hair is one of the most common reported benefits of laser hair therapy
What is Low Level Laser Therapy for Hair Loss?
Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is a non-surgical laser treatment that uses non-thermal light photons to stimulate blood flow in the scalp. The type of laser used is different from the common misperceptions of lasers - Low Level Laser (also known as cold lasers) do not heat or burn the skin. These lasers will not cut you in half or burn a hole in your head, contrary to what Hollywood action film-makers would have you believe
What Types of Laser Treatment Are Available?
If laser hair therapy is administered in a hair loss clinic or studio, you will typically will sit under a dome-shaped machine for a certain amount of time while undergoing laser hair therapy. This treatment is generally twice a week for optimal hair regrowth. There are also laser products which you can buy to use at home.
Are All Lasers Created Equally?
The simple answer to this, unfortunately is a resounding "NO". There are two classes to LLLT laser devices - Class 1 and Class 3 lasers. Whilst hair loss laser products which use class 1 lasers can help to regrow your hair, due to their weak lasers, they will take much longer than if you were using a class 3 laser product. And although the class 3 laser devices are stronger than their class 1 counterparts, they are still perfectly safe for women to use. Before purchasing any LLLT laser product for the purpose of regrowing your hair, please check to make sure you are getting a class 3 device.
Where Can I Get Hair Loss Laser Products?
Women's hair loss in Perth can be treated with hair loss laser treatment in the Innovative Hair Loss Solutions studios in Subiaco and Wangara.

Although hair loss is a medical condition and can't be cured by natural ingredients and remedies alone, many people believe that there are some wierd and wonderful ways of curing baldness. Because there has traditionally been a lack of education into the causes of hair loss, many old wives tales about how hair loss occurs have grown in popularity. To hopefully attempt to put the record straight for you, we have compiled some of the bigger hair loss questions and answers for you.
Myth: Hair loss comes from your mother's side of the family
While baldness is genetic, it is definitely not limited to the maternal side of the family. The hair-loss gene can come from either side of your family tree.
Myth: Wearing a hat or cap causes hair loss
If this were true (and thankfully it is not), to cause your hair to fall out, the hat would have to be so tight that it stops circulation or blood flow to the follicles.
Myth: Standing on your head cures hair loss
This is one of our favourites. The idea behind this particular hair loss myth is that, by standing on your head, blood flow will be increased and your scalp will undergo regeneration. Specialists agree on the fact that head-stands have no influence over hair loss at all. Whilst stimulation of the scalp is an important part of hair regrowth, using a low level radiation laser helmet or brush regularly is a much better solution. Stimulation of the scalp is not a hair loss remedy on it's own though, and your follicles need more than blood flow to regrow hair.
Myth: Cutting your hair makes it grow back thicker
Could this myth have originated from barbers and hairdressers looking to get more business? This myth is well and truly busted - here's why;
Hair is thicker at the base than it is at the tip, so when you cut your hair, you are cutting the thinner portion of each hair. If you have an area of hair that is thinning, the follicles in that area are the cuase and no amount of cutting will do anything about that. In the average person hair growth is about half an inch (one and half centimeters) each month.

A reason many people seek male hair loss treatment in Perth is because it’s often said that if women could choose between a man with a full and healthy head of hair and one who is going bald, they would tend to go for the man with hair. But how true is this?
In this short but to the point video, a bartender is asked if he believes that bald men have a harder time trying to meet and pick up women than men with a full head of hair, and he admits that he believes that they do.
He goes on to explain that from his experience in seeing the type of men who are successful in meeting and impressing women in a bar, he believes that those who exude self-belief, are happy in who they are, and who are confident in their appearance tend to be the most successful with women. This cuts to the core of the issue, as many believe that the baldness itself is not the problem, but rather the fact that many bald men are not happy with their own appearance, and thus do not come across as self-confident.
If a lack of self -confidence stemming from hair loss is affecting your life, then it is worth considering the types of treatments out there that may be able to help. Crown laser treatment has a high rate of success, particularly in the first ten years of experiencing hair loss, and is regarded as one of the most effective treatments available.
