If you find yourself with hair thinning, we understand it can be frustrating and impact your overall self-confidence. When looking at how to make hair grow thicker, it’s important to first establish what caused your hair loss before we investigate specific treatments.
Sometimes, hair thinning can be down to simple lifestyle factors, but there are certain medical conditions that can affect how the hair grows. The most common cause of hair loss for many people is genetics and can also happen naturally with age. This condition is rereferred to as androgenic alopecia, or male/ female pattern baldness. The term baldness usually refers to excessive hair loss and thinning from the scalp.
Here are six other factors that contribute to hair loss and thinning.
- Styling
- Stress
- Hormones (including pregnancy and menopause)
- Medical conditions
- Hereditary
- Mediation and supplements
It’s important to be mindful of any lifestyle factors that could be contributing to your hair loss. This includes hair styling, including heat styling and colourants that can cause breakage and thinning of the hair.
Diet can also play a key role in your overall hair health. Try to maintain a healthy diet with lots of fruits and vegetables to help your hair grow strong and healthy. We may also suggest some dietary supplements to further compliment your diet and support healthy hair growth.
If you are looking at how to make the hair grow thicker, you should first seek the help of a GP who will be able to address any underlying medical issues. Now, an aesthetic doctor will be able to recommend some specific treatments that can help the hair to grow thicker.
One of the most common, and effective hair thinning treatment methods is Collagen Induction Therapy. Also known as micro-needling, this treatment uses a specifically designed device to create tiny punctures in the surface of your scalp. This triggers your body’s natural healing process and in turn, stimulates the production of collagen, and hair cells.
The tiny punctures in the skin also allow for us to introduce customised vitamins and minerals to penetrate the deeper layers of the scalp. This helps to target the hair follicles and encourage healthy growth. Naturally, there are growth factors present within the human body, which allow for repair and rejuvenation.
During the treatment, we will apply a topical anaesthetic to the area to minimise any discomfort. You may feel mild pressure, or a tickling sensation during the process, but it shouldn’t be painful. For the best results, we recommend you undergo more than one treatment session. The frequency of your sessions will be discussed with you during your initial consultation.
We also offer a bespoke hair growth treatment package that contains dietary supplements to support your overall hair health, specially formulated haircare products including shampoo and conditioner to nourish and protect the hair, and up to six Collagen Induction treatments with growth factors to stimulate hair growth from the follicle.
